Happy 2018!

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'.

Very nice. I need a routing home from a one way award so might use this as a throw away.
I am seeing K fares operated by LH/OS so little mileage earning opportunity, also no free checked bag ($60/each way).

Thanks. I picked one up, paying a few $ extra to use united.com. Many, many flight options.

Updated to add: As of August 30 it's dead. I was thinking of refunding and rebooking for slightly different dates, but $972 is the new $279.

As of September 1 it's $559. United may be signaling the competition, but this is a code I can't understand.

Also, please note that the free baggage allowance for *A Gold on Economy Light fares between Europe and USA/Canada is "free for the time being" as a "goodwill measure" by LH: https://www.lufthansa.com/uk/en/economy-light-fare

Air Serbia (JU) cheap promos (e.g. SVO - CDG one way ~50eur)

Just bought super cheap SVO to CDG with air serbia through Belgrade for less than 50 eur (bags included) for Nov 30th. A nice alternative if you need to get to Belgrade for cheap. Last leg could be dropped if Beg is your intended destination for the savings of ~150eur.

There are plenty of other deals advertised on JU website. Maybe someone will find it usefull.

sokolov and HarbourGent like this.
