I hope I don't get run off the forum for this as I've seen others, but I have read the help features all over, including the ITA instructions, farbuckets, etc. and I just can't seem to figure any of this out.

Here is my situation: I am in need of 8,400 miles to reach my goal but need to leave from MSP. Is the fact that I am in a central U.S. hub city the reason this is impossible to find anything that works. Ideally, I'd like to spend under $400 but also don't know if this is reasonable. I'd be willing to spend up to $600 if the flight works. I also would like to do it in one day, preferably not a weekend.

I've tried routing to other hub cities thinking these will be the cheapest flights, but no luck whatsoever.

In summary, I'm not looking for the answer (although I'll take it) but I just don't understand why i can't get anything to work.

Thanks!
