Hawaiian Air Sale - Many Cities, e.g. PDX-OGG 281.20a/i
Found it on Travelzoo tonight. Discount available for travel by June 10th. I came up with the fare in the title for 1/28-1/29, but it works for many other dates. Checked for fare matches on UA and Alaskan, but both more $$ for now...

SU STO-HAV
I think STO is currently the last market SU has somewhat low fully unresticted economy fares (Middle East market prices have been increased significantly this month). Check S [USD2,250++] and Y fares. This is a good deal for travel during peak seasons, especially for Russians [just check the avilability and prices for MOW-HAV for the peak New Year season] as these are full-fare economy rates with stopovers permitted in MOW w/o HIP a check. Business class are also lower than average.

SFO-LIM on AA in Feb, March, April -- ~$344 a/i
Just booked three trips SFO-LIM, each at $335-345.
MRers can book through JFK or ORD, then MIA for $5 more.
I read on another thread that this fare goes away at midnight tonight.

I hope that unless the trick thread is reopened that we don't see this thread taken over by the fd/pl/aa/mad/about/you crowd.
I read that 230 page thread 3 times, lost about 10 hours trying to figure out order/site/time...blah blah before I lost my mind
I thought I had it, but could never make it work. Got to the point I was obsessed to just make it work once, but not so much
So I does the MR the old skool way, I try every possible combination in every possible search.....
I have a full winter for sure! Don't have any sub 5cpm, but should I find one, I will post it!
btw, I fly from YYZ and am part of Star Alliance which is why the trick might not work for me, or at least that's what I tell myself....:P

Try originating your trip on UA in BUF or ROC and then return to your home city. Cost a little in energy to take bus to USA but you will make it up.
How do you feel about saving $ 225 on trip to Madrid.
For example $ 769 on UA YYZ -MAD-YYZ $ 444 on UA BUF-MAD-YYZ

Don't tell yourself the wrong thing. You live in a perfect location, because you actually live in the city of of your actual itinerary destination

Thanks WingedWorldExplorer. Your suggestions helped me as well. Was trying to fly back to LHR next week for school and flying out of BUF and back to YYZ shaves off a few hundred dollars for a *Alliance flight. ^

Hi all, thought this is preety decent but not a die hard mileage run...comes up to .04c/mile
SAN-SFO/ORD/IAH/IAD-FRA-VCE-FRA-LAX/IAH/ORD-SAN-XXXXXXXX...just shy of 13k for $ 574-600 a/i on UA,LH combinations and occasionally CO...
Tried Jan 20-25...books into L class (LLXNC20S)...used .bomb...
Don't forget, you also get a free flight
For those that would like to expand, here is some info on the fare:
"4 TRANSFERS PERMITTED IN EACH DIRECTION FREE 2 FREE IN AREA 2/AREA 3 IN EACH DIRECTION 2 FREE IN AREA 1 IN EACH DIRECTION FARE BREAK AND EMBEDDED SURFACE SECTORS NOT PERMITTED ON THE FARE COMPONENT. "
so if someone is interested you can probably add more sectors...
