Use farecompare.com/flyertalk to check prices from your departure city then use the month-long search on itasoftware.com to find specific dates that work for you. Note that the prices above are only valid on certain dates and often good only for Tues/Wed travel.
Although these are great fares, you might want to hold off until the spring if your schedule allows, because I suspect DEQM promotions will be back. But if you have some time to fly now, you will likely be able to find some good deals.
