Thanks for posting Matt, I found JFK-MAD for $381 from Feb 14-21. While I prefer my MRs to be immediate turns, this might be a nice positioning fare if I can "nest" another MR from MAD. And at roughly 5.3 cents per mile, I can just about rationalize that as a legit MR!
Now, how do I convince Mrs. FNZFUND to let me do a MR on Valentine's Day??

MR is Mileage Run. It depends on the person. What I consider a MR, someone else may just consider a mini vacation run (cheap flight, weekend getaway). Ultimate goal is low CPM and no need to pay for a hotel. For some that is long flight with immediate turn around.

JFK/AMS $501 -> 6.88 cpm
JFK/MAD $542 -> 7.55 cpm
LAX/NRT $765 -> 7.02 cpm
that's....not worth it if you take them as MR deal.
4/4.5 cpm or below is the number you are looking for.
