So now that the big 3 legacy carriers are all on this $$$ for RDM and all have a minimum spend requirement for status...Mileage running for the sake of miles is becoming a thing of the past, are there (or should there be) a new threshold for what goes in this thread vs. what is a true MR that would have its own thread?
in other words now what goes in here and and what is its own thread for MR purposes isn't quite as clear as it used to be.

I'm glad to see a 2017 version of this thread, but "Good Deals" in quotes always bugs me. It's not like it's innuendo... or is it?

This thread is for Good Deals only. Discussions do not belong in this thread. There are several other threads in the Discusson subforum that bring up the topic of the big 3 US carriers and Mileage Runs. Please continue any similar discussions there, not this thread.
Thank you.

Personally, I took it as a YMMV statement.
Let's get back to the topic of Good Deals!

F9, MSP - MCO for $90 in late Jan. You'll have to stay a few days.
You won't earn any miles and the seats are probably going to suck, but if the weather dips...

Boston - Gatwick $74 one way Jan-Mar with Norwegian.
a return flight would be $161
That's $235 for a Bos-Lgw return flight
Excludes meals, baggage etc.
Now that is a fantastic price for direct flights.
