Happy 2017!

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.

There are some decent OW fares on AA from Auckland to Philadelphia in January 2018. For example, it is $390 per person routed AKL-LAX-PHL, available (at least) from 1/22 through 1/26, with a 2-hour connection time in Los Angeles.

Haven't seen many posts here for runs on AS metal lately, so I'll throw one in. Yes, it's usually a "normal" fare when booked far enough in advance, but for anyone that wants it:

BOS-PDX-SEA-ANC-SEA-PDX-BOS (8972 miles, $383, 4.3 cpm). Looks like it also works ANC-BOS.

LAX-ORD $99 on AA.
Date: 22 June.
Significant price drop from a few days ago.
Decent fare vs ULCCs like Spirit, Frontier.
