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'.

NH: SFO-KUL/BKK-SFO $388 a-i K class Orbitz
Just booked this one for Jan. 10 outbound and Jan. 31 return...K class earns 25% UA miles if I'm reading correctly. Nice outbound with NH 7/NH 815 (or there's a UA-operated option SFO-NRT just 5 minutes earlier) and 2 hr. NRT connection, though 11:55 p.m. KUL arrival
I had tried all this out of LAX based on the Travelpirates entry, but ITA kept routing me through SFO to get the sub-$400 fare. So I tried it out of SFO instead (need positioning flight anyway from ATL) and it totaled at $388.80. Probably some missing YQ. Even ITA was pricing higher than Orbitz (mid-$400s), so I'm not totally sure what I did right.
Looks like it gave me a ticket number starting with 205, so I take that as a good sign. Frontier has positioning flights at 20K miles RT...woo-hoo!

SFO-ATL-RDU-JFK-SFO DL $208 Basic economy Same day turn (~3.6 cpm)
Hi guys,
Long time reader so I figured I'd make my first post and help with something I found, apologies if it's already been shared.
SFO-ATL(or SLC)-RDU-JFK-SFO for $208 earning about 5725 MQMs
Looks to have open dates in January and February, 3.6cpm probably not the best deal but not bad way to start the year.
Let me know if anyone is up for making that trip, I will probably book a Friday or Saturday in January and and February and hope I don't get stuck in a storm.

FRA-JFK non-stop in Y+ on DL for 580 EUR (books into W).
I'm posting this as more of a question. Is this a good deal? I'm not really flying DL much, but I assume the hard product is not the best (767).
Sample dates:
Feb 14-20, Apr 1-8. Permitted through April 2018 (except over holidays) and then from Nov. '18. The price is through DL.com directly; I wasn't able to push it down further by going through an OTA.
EDIT: As a point of reference, TXL-JFK non-stop on LH in Y+ is 697 EUR. In comparison, the DL fare doesn't look that extraordinary.

Blogs have been showing the deal from SEA/PDX as well, I would 100% book it, but I need end of Apr so it doesn't work.

BOS-LHR, CDG-BOS open jaw, full-service on a Virgin 787 (with a tiny bit of BA on the return) for $450 was good enough for me to pounce. Even Norwegian is more.
Have to call to book.
