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'.

Unless I'm reading that website wrong, it's 11312 CZK (~$450USD) for a VERY long flight to MMY from PRG (including having to transfer from NRT to HND on the way there), and then not quite as long of a return flight to BUD from MMY (including having to transfer from HND to NRT on the way back). Here's an example itinerary:

Dep PRG 11:35 4/26/2017
Arr HEL 14:40 4/26/2017
AY 0716 Finnair

Transfer duration: 2hr 35min

Dep HEL 17:15 4/26/2017
Arr NRT 08:55 4/27/2017
BA 6085 British Airways

Transfer duration: 22hr 00min (transfer to HND)

Dep HND 06:55 4/28/2017
Arr MMY 10:10 4/28/2017
NU 0021 Japan Transocean Air Co

Travel time: 39hr 35min

And then the return flight:

Dep MMY 19:50 05/08/2017
Arr HND 22:25 05/08/2017
NU 0022 Japan Transocean Air Co

Transfer duration: 14hr 30min (transfer to NRT)

Dep NRT: 12:55 05/09/2017
Arr LHR 17:30 05/09/2017
BA 0006 British Airways

Transfer duration: 3hr 25min

Dep LHR 20:55 05/09/2017
Budapešť (BUD) 00:25 05/10/2017
BA 0870 British Airways

Total travel time: 35hr 35min

Not exactly a quick/easy trip, but the price is good...

Did you switch date notations from m/d/y to d/m/y halfway through that, or do I need to get my contacts reground?

Ok, perhaps my immediate dismissal ("gotta be a typo") was partially colored by very old memories; I actually lived on Okinawa decades ago, and I believe my father went down to Miyakojima at some point. I see now it's becoming somewhat known as a good quiet beach and snorkeling destination. Good to know.
