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.
  • Note that you can subscribe to this thread: go to "Thread Tools" at the top of the thread and click on "Subscribe to this thread".
  • This is not a fare request thread. Any fare requests will be deleted.
  • This is not a how to book a fare thread.

Dl den-koa $367

DL is matching UA, which has a bunch of west coast cities to HI for about the same amount.

(same day turnarounds possible, to make a MR).

Forgive me if I posted this twice, but it didn't seem to go through the first time.

Economy LHR-PER with QR for 667€ return.

With a bit of planning you can have A380 for 3 out of 4 legs. Also the transfer times are rather decent at around 2 hours both ways.

Booking class W so not good for any mileage run.

Why would you sit in an aiplane for pretty much the whole day if you won't earn miles

And since it's basic economy quite possibly in middle seat. Or is AA's version of BE more lenient than UA?
