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".

Brussels to Rio €523

The W fare is under $1000 on certain dates and some R is available in advance, here and there. The "problem" is that DUB departures are only from EWR and IAD so you have to deal with the transcon in domestic F.

SNN prices are similar but not as low.

Best part of the above fare is it doesn't even require setting foot on a MH plane. Similar price (but higher CPM) is available out of LAX via NRT, Also MH codes but no MH metal.

Not the best deal but I think Brazil is in general pretty expensive to fly on.
That's 9161 miles each way or ~18,300 miles round-trip.

With €1=$1.34, the fare is $701, yielding ~$0.038/mi
