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".

OW SAT to TPA on DL 21 days out
Hat tip to TFD (after a link from JAPT) for blog post on $93.00 fare SAT-MCO (DL)
While we all know that the travel advice readily given if the traveler is headed to Tampa is, "hey, that's only a quick trip over from MCO", it's best to leave the fuel at the pump and get to the destination one wants more simply.
So, SAT-TPA is ALSO currently $93 OW 21 days out from 8/28. Found it on ITA. Not a mileage run, just a decent fare.
