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".

MSY-PHF/PHF-MSY $78 Roundtrip PeoplExpress [baggage fees + seat assignments extra]
Not really a mileage run, but a pretty good deal, especially compared to what other carriers are charging on the route-- even with PeopleExpress' "optional" carry-on fees, checked baggage fees, and checked luggage fees factored in.
Fare expires 11:59PM tonight for travel through 10/15/14:
http://www.flypex.com
No mention as to whether that's 11:59PM Eastern or Central Time [or another time zone].
