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".

UA: YYZ to SIN $982 (USD)
Picking this up through Kayak.
i.e. Dep YYZ Sep 4th, ret from SIN Sep 9th
Most of the lower prices seem to be in Sept, and pay a bit more in Oct - Nov.

Please note that most fares do not last this long and transatlantic or transpacific flights are nearly always only good in one direction.

LIS-BOS is possible...but not at that price. I saw fares around $500-700 (again one way) depending on day.

Certainly not mileage run material, but if you need some LAN segments in C2 or need/want to go away for a weekend then MAD FRA MAD is the cheapest I have seen it at the moment for 111€ RT AI for dates in October.
Also works in reverse FRA MAD FRA for 1€ extra.
In USD works out at 8.7¢/mile
It's a 787 service with proper onboard service and IFE. Credits 100% to LA and AA, don't know about other FFPs
