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)

Obviously not a MR but could be great for a last minute tropical vacation. I searched all the way into January and found the fare most months.

Your currency conversion is way off. The fare is closer to $350/€250. It is also cheaper out of Australia to Singapore.
