The below is from our moderator (taken from the first post of the thread - bolding is mine). Feel free to add more if necessary / as needed.

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".

For any last minute MR needs on AA. Not the best CPM however. 17,256 miles total.

AA: IAH-DFW-HKG RT for $882 AI. Found on Google.com/flights. Available in most of November and some dates in October.

AF sent an e-mail out about a sale with some pretty reasonable deals. The best I could find was IAH-CAI routing through SLC and CDG in both directions, which books into V and generates 16,542 MQM for $813.30 ai, or 4.92 cpm. Sample dates 11/17-11/25, with a 23+ hour layover in CDG on the return.
