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".

YYJ can also be used as a departure point for a less than $50 more in some cases.
Can get good prices for AMS, FRA, CDG, and many UK cities.

VR: BOS-RAI $486 RT AI nonstop
Or, in English, since at least two terms up there are probably not well known: TACV, Boston-Praia, Cape Verde $486 RT AI nonstop. This is a long flight on a 757, with no first class. But, a very, very unique route, and definitely the lowest price I've ever seen on it. Flights depart each end only on Tuesdays and Fridays. A few dates in September, and November 7-11 are available. TACV charges a booking fee of $30, but Priceline and Expedia do not appear to.

Quite an attractive price! Looks like it's bookable on a bunch of OAs except Orbitz. This exotic destination is very tempting.
Thank you.

SFO-CKG $536 Air China
Route I'm looking at is SFO-PEK-CKG-PEK-SFO.
Sample dates: 8/31 to 9/9
Put it in this thread since it seems to earn 50% mileage on most of the major programs. Not great for a MR, but looks like a good fare!
Assuming 50% credit, a bit over 6800 miles. Checked Orbitz and it shows up there.
