That does help, thanks. I figured MIA might be a WEE bit of an issue so that's why I tried Pit (thinking who would wanna go to Pittsburgh other than me...for a hockey game!) so I searched random dates far in advance. I didn't know it was a OW hotspot.

Now I tried using the ANA tool for the first time today, familiarized myself with that, had a bit of success using multi city doing YVR-IAH-PTY. PTY-MDE worked, though YVR-MDE wouldn't, neither would YVR-BOG. When PTY-MDE worked it also said Madellin which was wrong and Colombia wasn't in the "south America" portion of the list. Anyone have any troubles finding destinations on that thing?

That'll be my last question, the clarification from both you guys did help a bunch, from what I can tell I'm not that far off I just needed to make sure I guess!
