RDU - FLL - LIM v.v. - same day turn (or longer) available on B6 for $457. Not a great MR deal since it's B6, but pretty good deal for anyone wanting to go to LIM. $500ish from NYC

I saw a $678 round trip from JFK-MXP for February. $17.50 base fare, kind of low on the MPM so can't really make it more of a mileage run, more of a mileage jog I guess.

It looks like the same day turn requires you to book into jetblue.com via google.com/flights or hipmunk (jetblue.com won't give you the option since it's an hour connection - I assume it's the same plane you arrive on). Multiple day turn you can see just on jetblue.com
From itamatrix for Oct 21st same day turn:
Raleigh/Durham (RDU) to Lima (LIM) - Tue, Oct 21

DTW-PHL-FLL-PHL-DTW for $140 r/t, 4.8cpm. Unfortunately this has a Saturday night minimum stay and is only available for Tues/Wed, so this isn't as suitable for a MR as for a temporary "defrost"
Available through mid-May.
