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".

Considering this as a quick vacation trip. Includes two overnight layovers in Istanbul that would seem to permit a bit of tourism.

Also, that seems pretty high for a flight between BCN and BRU even not for Ryanair.

Just found on Google Flights (with the same connections) for 220$ USD on Iberia leaving August 22 and returning August 25th.

[US or AA] PHX to PHL - Sept/Oct

2-day PHX to PHL and back 6970 miles for $367 -- 5.26 cents/mi

DAY 1
PHX to LAS non-stop
LAS to PHL via DCA
DAY 2
PHL to LAS via LAX
LAS to PHX via LAX

Can all be done on 1 PNR for less $ than if you book the PHX/LAS and LAS/PHL separately. Price varies by day ... check the <usairways.com> flexible date booking engine for the LAS/PHL portion to find least expensive days.

Plenty of connection time for all changes.
