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".

Frontier: CLE-LAS $164 r/t (CLE-LAS o/w $52 a.i.)
A few dates late October @ $164 & $174 r/t.
a few O/W available CLE-LAS $52A.i.
these are all n/s flights.
that's the cheapest o/w I have ever seen cle-las.
It would be AMAZING if UA or DL would match!

UA has some September dates for BOS-EWR at $103 RT. Sample dates 9/16-9/18. Obviously not a steal for the market, but haven't seen EWR specifically this cheap.

BOS-AUA for $350, MSP-AUA $400 US/AA, about 8cpm. Not such a great fare, but pretty good for a vacation.

occasionally this fare permits routing via ORD which can make it much more lucrative. not sure if this iteration includes or excludes that option.
