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".

Thanks for posting the sfo-dub and east coast-ist deals. Looks like I could get both to work over American Thanksgiving.

NYC -> FRA/VIE/SZG + HAJ -> YHZ starting at USD 645 on Star Alliance
Also: NYC -> FRA + FRA -> VIE + HAJ -> YHZ starting at USD 706
both in Nov/Dec
I've found this and it may be useful for myself. YMMV There may be many other dates available, or not.
Departure from NYC on Nov 12 going to FRA or VIE (Vienna) or SZG (Salzburg)
Departure from HAJ (Hanover) for YHZ (Halifax) on Dec 4 or 10 or 11
(probably more dates available)
The best prices I've seen are from USD 645 to USD 666 on ITA, and a single digit amount of dollars more on Priceline. Classes are usually K and L, so it is no mileage run material. We are talking about 7.7 Cents per mile travelled.
