Nice service!

If you are the programmer, I have a suggestion that would make this HUGELY better (tho perhaps the suggestion isn't so easy to implement).
--- Allow the airline to be specified as well as the destination and price.
This would mean following some links to get the prices for each airline.

DEN-IAD-SFO-ORD-MKE
You get the idea. Find the fare, and then play with the route.

Thanks for the suggestion tho.

Anywhere on the east coast or midwest will typically allow you to route through somewhere in the south. The further south it is, the more miles you get. Great runs are COS-DEN-DFW-ORD-FLL, for example.
Whenever I do a run, I typically go COS-DEN-DFW-ORD-xxx and back other alternatives are IAH, MSY (great for bumps), and sometimes ATL. I've come to prefer DFW even though it cheats me out of a few miles -- it's BusinessOne service now on DFW-ORD, they have 737's and A319's (as opposed to the E170 that flies into IAH thorughout the day) with hot meals in F, and if I do get bumped there are lots of alternatives for them to put me on AA!

For DEN-MKE you would be lucky to be able to throw in a connection at ORD, and keep that fare.

Have never yet routed to the East Coast through MSY, nor flown through IAH on anything other than a 737. The change to a E170 servicing IAH must be recent?
