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".

PHL-LAS-PHL is available for ~$240 on US in the coming weeks. Can be routed direct or via DCA, CLT, or PHX. Comes in around 5.5 CPM which is not bad for a last minute run.

UA LGA-ORD-BOS in K for USD 80 one way
UA LGA-CLE-BOS for same price
About 1595 miles travelled if via ORD, so this it comes to about 5 cents per mile travelled.
Via CLE it goes down to 8.x miles. But with A3, both routings would earn 1.000 miles.
Availability September to December on many a days. I have not checked for return flights.
