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".

It's only 6587 miles, which makes it a little over 8cpm(not a great deal, I know). The outbound is a direct flight and the return has a stop in VVI with no plane change. Dates are available throughout october and november. Allows EoE if you want to use this from another city.
Also available on Avianca for similar price, connecting in BOG.
