One example:
IAH-LIS
Dep: 1-Jan-10,
Ret: 4-Jan-10

You can even pick the CO flights between IAH/FRA if you prefer BizFirst:

Outbound: LH7600(CO)/LH4532
Inbound: LH2175(TAP)/LH7601(CO)

Total: (before actually buying): USD 1898.96

(And all those EQM's count for 2010!)

Italian carrier fares ex Ukraine and Belarus

Maybe someone needs this (I am not even able to use it by myself, as already have too much tickets to fly and ... no job at the moment).

1) IEV-SIN: DRTCE, USD 1,410++, routing - MPM (7866), D RBD (second highest), bookable (with AF or KL long-haul metal), maybe even f.dumpable (let me know please if it is via PM). HIP should not apply, but stopovers in some cities are not permitted because of "TR" status of the code-share flights.

2) MSQ-BKK: JRTCE, EUR 1,460++, routing unknown (maybe not bookable), J (!) RBD

Maybe someone will be lucky to find more interesting fares. Do not know if a transit via these countries is a piece of cake for non-CIS passports.

IATA

There is also good offer from SITA (IATA fare) from IEV:

IEV-MLE: YY:CIF, ~USD 1,800++. Travel is via FE, bookable, for example, on SU and UL (via MOW, DEL, CMB). Not good for travel via Europe.

DL/NW: BOS-SEA $780 a/i through eos

not the greatest, but not too bad out of BOS. Can be AS metal for e.g. ATL-SEA. Came out @ ~$780 before any cashbacks.

about 10k EQMs, so not a great cpm, but at least guaranteed up front.

Hoping UA will match

This is a FC fare, right?

yep, it's HUP booking into A ... so it should be 150% based on DL's earnings.

How are you getting 10k EQMs from this? Some DL/NW promo?

I would be a little careful with DL on UP tickets. The have been a lot of reports of people riding in the back because of schedule changes and irrops. That's why it's nice to have the fare code mentioned in the op.

BOS-ATL-SEA-ATL-BOS @ 150% gives something like 10k.

guess I never had this issue, it always directly booked into A and I usually book through priceline (for the 3% cashback) and HUP is usually not even displayed.
I booked this twice so far and no issues.

Yes. "I" Fares are almost always business class fares. "I" is also used by some airlines for award buckets in C.
