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'.

A few requests for posting in the thread:

When posting 'Good deals' fares: please post the city pairs/airport codes and pricing in the body of the post and not just in the post title as it isn't visible for those reading it on mobile devices.

I think you don’t get tier points for any fare on Aer Lingus, even though it’s owned by IAG now. As for miles, you should get a few Avios. And it will count as an activity which will prolong the life of your Avios.

I just saw the cheapest ever economy return fare on JFK-DEL route. I thought I would post it here, but it seems I can't post URLs till I've a few posts.

$463 on China Eastern is truly steal of a deal. Saw it on Matrix Airfare Search for middle of April

I can't see the prices quoted by vmlmnn, but there are some good prices in September and October. They show up as 603 USD on Google Flights but you can shave over 50 USD off that by booking through online travel agents. Quite a good price I'd say. Seems to book into Z for the New York-Gaungzhou legs, but the Delhi sectors book into K which earns 100% miles in many programmes....that's 2x 2,272 = 4,544 by my reckoning. Not exactly a mile run, but a nice bonus if you want to travel this route cheaply anyway.

Virgin/Delta pricing in at just over 100 USD more.
