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'.

I booked JFK-LIS with a free stopover in CMN last night for ~400. Wide open. 3 hour layover at CMW on the return though. Hard to credit anywhere useful, but good price for a family trip.

On RAM with layover in CMN. It would be odd to have a layover in Cuba.

Available till around mid June.

This is part of Icelandair's sale for new service from PHL. PHL-KEF is as low as $399 till July 11th. Pretty good for a summer Iceland trip.

New to this

Hey guys I'm new to this. Are the deals here posted quicker than the ones on SF? Inquiring minds would like to know, because once SF posts it, there's a good chance the deal might go dead fairly quickly. So if FT posts things quicker that would be best.

That guy/girl is a genius. Unfortunately after SF posted it, many people had got emails from the airlines saying their flight was cancelled.

Thanks for posting. I made use. Did some playing around, but couldn't get it to trigger the pricing unless I used BKK and TYO/FUK/KIX. Any other combinations you found? Had another look today, and the fares are still there, but now with another 0 at the end.

I actually got one of these AY bookings for 240 EUR and am still kicking myself that I could have got it for 220 EUR

I bagged BUD-HEL-HKG/ITM-NRT-HEL-BUD, and even considered booking BUD-BKK/NRT-BUD for 215 EUR as well (wish I had now!).

Incidentally, if anyone is crediting to BAEC it might be worth crediting to Iberia Plus instead as some of these book into higher earnings on their FFP. That is of course if you don't need the Tier Points.

OTA: Expedia
Fare: $718
Availability: between Oct 15 and Nov 31

I started playing with fare deal spotted on blog (theflightdeal). You can add another US leg (before ending at DFW) but Expedia limits to 5 segment only.

Hi folks,

Lufthansa has great sub €450 roundtrips over Easter from BRU-FRA-IAH-LIB. IAH-LIB operated by UA. If you prefer flying UA the whole way there are also fares around €410 for the same route.

http://www.momondo.co.uk/flightsearc...false&NA=false

There are also other good deals around this price with the same route but to other Central American countries e.g. Nicaragua, Panama.
