"Good Deals" in Economy Class - Excellent Fares between certain city pairs - 2015
 
Happy 2015!

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:
  • When posting 'Good deals' fares: 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
  • Note that you can subscribe to this thread: go to "Thread Tools" at the top of the thread and click on "Subscribe to this thread".

DL: SAN-OMA $208 rt
 
DL: SAN-OMA $208 rt

In February, SAN-OMA is available on Delta for $208 roundtrip.

Sample date and routing:

SAN-DTW-OMA-DTW-SAN on Feb 1-2 for 5198 status miles at 4.25cpm
But watch out for the horrific CRJ-200 segments between OMA and DTW!

Bowgie Jan 1, 2015 2:36 am

DL: SAN-AUS $235 rt
 
DL: SAN-AUS $235 rt

In February, SAN-AUS is available on Delta for $235 roundtrip.

Sample date and routing:

SAN-ATL-AUS-ATL-SAN on Feb 1-2 for 5394 status miles at 4.42cpm
If a Diamond flew this in 2014, he would earn 12,136 redeemable miles.
Now, he only earns 1947 redeemable miles for this trip!

Despite the mileage haircut, I booked the above. I just have to go back for lunch at Texas Chile Parlor. It's just steps from the Capitol, and an easy ride by transit bus from the airport.

Hmm OMA in Feb for 1947 miles, or stay in SAN, that is a difficult question.;)

Exactly why I've lost a lot of desire to fly "for fun" starting in 2015. If there's somewhere I'm dying to eat at, etc. I'll make it into a larger trip instead.

RE: IAH to SIN $840
 
Best price I have found so far from IAH to SIN around 20K & 4.1CMP; available in Jan & Feb and great for MR before 3/1 UA change.:D

thanks for that. also see $879 JFK-ASU on DL & G3 that didn't show up on google flights and plenty of other south american deals.

EZEDoesIt Jan 5, 2015 9:09 pm

WAS-ASU via GRU on DL/G3 was around a couple times last year for $600-something I think. Keep an eye out for that one!

We can see that UA is responding to the attack by DL on the UA hubs by now targeting DL hubs with discounted flights to Europe.

Fore example: http://goo.gl/flights/aWGJ

arthrod Jan 6, 2015 5:38 am

Guys, DL declared total war against AA, all around 500-550 USD, bookable at decolar.com

GRU-LAS
GRU-DFW
GRU-MIA
GRU-JFK

AA responded attacking DL hubs, but not so strongly... GRU-DTW is at 900 USD, for example (at usual 1200).

Can you give more specifics on dates? For ex. I keep getting a price of $685 USD for GRU-JFK. If I click on the price matrix it will show the best price as say, $420, but with taxes it will add up to around $700.

beachmouse Jan 6, 2015 7:57 am

Today's screaming viking deal on Norwegian:

MCO-OSL- Depart May 21, Return May 28- $334.50 rt ai.

Also works for select Thursdays in May in reverse. Florida and the theme parks in May are generally lovely in terms of temperature and not terribly crowded.

I think some deals are dead (especially GRU-JFK). But others are still alive, for example, 03-18/03-28, GRU-DFW, R$ 1.283 (with taxes), which is USD 475 USD.

Ok. I'm seeing:
GRU -> DFW $351 USD on Delta
GRU -> MIA $500 USD on Avaianca and TAM
GRU -> WAS $607 USD on Delta
GRU -> PHL $669 USD on United
GRU -> ORD $653 USD on Delta
GRU -> LAX $552 USD on Delta

Dates used were March 3 - March 20, but there does appear to be tighter or larger windows available.

Thanks for the find! I'll tell my Brazilian friends!!

DL: ORD - SFO/SJC/OAK $246 AI

So you mean OSL to MCO, not vice versa.....strange way of writing it.

Same price both ways, which isn't always the case with transatlantic.

DY isn't a normal airline either.

CLT-DTW-SEA-HKG $690 on DL

4/8 - 4/15

Just under 18,000 mqm's.

Dunno if such a fare belongs here: there are very good offers ex-Italy to go Far East with Aeroflot

e.g.: HKG or TYO at 400€ all-in

That is a great price. Where did you find it?

shuom Jan 7, 2015 7:17 am

BOS-PDX return at $254 with US/AA. It works out to be 4CPM or so.

Awesome, thank you. The internet: where everyone says what's on their mind that they wouldn't otherwise have the balls to say to someone's face.

AA: SEA-JFK $277 round trip, widely available in February (ie, every day)

same day turns possible

nonstop travel only @ this price, add a connection (eg, CLT/ORD/PHX) for $10 more


AA: SEA-IAD $260 round trip via PHL/CLT/DFW/PHX

tonykline1947 Jan 7, 2015 5:24 pm

AA DFW-LAS r/t $127 AI
 
Not sure why, but AA's DFW/LAS flight price in February has gone down from $192 last week to $162 yesterday, to $127 today. You can even get same day Saturday Feb 14 turnaround for just $137.

Still about 6 cents per mile, but a great price for a fun trip.

Enjoy

lovtex Jan 7, 2015 7:13 pm

Actually, the DFW-LAS fare can be had for $117.

Am I doing this wrong? As an O fare that's showing 11 CPM?

Still 9 CPM - though if you book the same itinerary in First, your CPM is about the same.

Feb 14 = Valentines Day. Not a big weekend for a guy-trip to Vegas, unless any weekend is.:(
