Happy 2016!

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".
  • This is not a fare request thread. Any fare requests will be deleted.

AA, UA, and DL are all offering excellent fares ($650-700) from RDU-Tokyo (both NRT and HND) with two stopovers. That's roughly 15,000 miles at 4.3-4.6 cpm. Here is just one of many possibilities, found on Google Flights:

DL: RDU-ATL-LAX-HND on Mar 8 and HND-LAX-DTW-RDU on Mar 14 for $655

First time posting some research results! continuing on the frenzy of UA/NH OJ Asia routes a while back. (or it just never disappeared?)

UA has got 443-447 USD
LAX-PVG/PEK OJ CGK-NRT-LAX
in April, with 15555EQM, clocking in at about 2.85cpm if I am not mistaken.
sample here: http://goo.gl/flights/P8PO

more realistically, PVG/PEK-CGK on LCC is about 160, so it should be 3.8cpm. closer OJ routes also works like departing from TPE on the way back for 510. also works for most other US cities sub or around $500. MIA, LGA, IAH, SFO, PHX, BOS, etc, etc, sometimes works better as double OJ. of course you can route it via SFO, ORD, EWR and so on for more miles since the sample is a direct flight.
Visa should not be an issue if you have a LCC flight to CGK that departs for KUL at 1:30am? (hope I am right)

No, 777 is correct. I just booked this myself for a business trip. It's the 772 version. As a Plat I was able to book in the business class seats without any additional charge on an economy ticket, ORD to DFW.

I don't think it did disappear ^

I'm seeing NH from JFK-NRT-HKG-NRT-JFK on a variety of dates between tomorrow and May 10 for $562. That's 17,173 miles at 3.2 cpm.

Do you think I could get SEA-LHR-LUX-LHR-SEA for ,$400?
All I see is $1232. Mar 11-Mar 20
What are you're dates?
Going through UK is deadly in taxes.
