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".

I searched BOS-GOA over the week of MLK day in Jan 2015 and TK is quoting $697 RT. Overnights both ways in IST, but that's ~5.9cpm, which is quite good for that route. I didn't buy it because I really don't want to connect and overnight in IST twice for a 1 week trip, but it's a nice deal if someone can make use of it.

Honestly I don't think Air Asia is worth posting. It's the same as posting FR low fares.
