The below is from our moderator (taken from the first post of the thread - bolding is mine). Feel free to add more if necessary / as needed.

Happy 2014!

Please use this thread to post or to follow Economy Fares which are 'Good Deals' but where the cost per mile is more than 3-4 cents per mile, which is the usual upper limit for what is considered a true 'MR Deal'.

A few requests for posting in the thread:

-members posting their deals please post the city pairs/airport codes and pricing in the body of the post and not just in the post title as it isn't visible for those reading it on mobile devices (ETA: ...or in email alerts)

-some members may be unaware that you can subscribe to this thread and to do that you can go to "Thread Tools" at the top of the thread and click on "Subscribe to this thread".

SS1, it's possible they just extended the sales period. But I took the advice last night and booked it YYZ-NRT for C$790. Lots of miles but I think V fare only earns 25% (no status with sky team) so that would be a measly 3750 miles (approx). Still, it's a great price to see Tokyo!
DL V fare earns 100% on AS MileagePlan, 100% on DL SkyMiles, and 25% on Flying Blue. I would strongly recommend you to credit the miles to AS which offers great redemption options.

Great tip! Done!

btw, looks like AF and KLM V fares earn nothing with AS MileagePlan (I've got a couple of TATL coming up).

JU TXL-TLV 218 Euro return

This may be somewhat violating the thread rules as Air Serbia isn't in any of the big alliance but still it's a reasonable deal:

DL PHX SRQ RT $360 reasonable amount of availability SEP, OCT, NOV. It's a very good fare if you have to go there anyway. Normally, this route is about $520 to $540, and if you shop really hard, you can find $375 to $420 with very limited availibility. So this fare is a steal with all the choices available.

Actually this is the perfect place for a great fare that may not earn miles ^.

Looks dead. Self-dumping fares?

It looks like the $790 price has jumped for YYZ - NRT to $840 on most Tuesdays.

Hotwire still has the fare for $810 USD -> ~900CAD for most dates.

Not many, but there's still a few dates lingering around from either YYZ or YUL to NRT on DL for $790 CAD.

i.e. YYZ or YUL to NRT Dep. Nov 27th Ret. Dec 3rd.

I apologize if this has been posted recently, I know that it was in the past but then I seem to recall the fare disappearing.

I found flights from BOS Logan to PDL Joćo Paulo II in Azores, Portugal as low as $268. I saw dates in November but it looked like there was wider availability. Bookable on AirFastTickets

DL PHX-BNA $218 r/t

After the middle of August, DL's V fares PHX-BNA and BNA-PHX are about $110 one way. Via LAX this gives 4,584 miles for $218, or a little less than $0.05/mile. One-day turnarounds via LAX are possible from PHX.

Thanks! I was able to duplicate this on YYZ (the only other year-long destination in NA for SATA). Kind of useless for a MR, but who cares? It's <$300 to the Azores...
