They took that away! Now, all you can do is select "search nearby airports".

I don't know the exact number of miles, but it isn't 100. COS to DEN is 93 miles, but it won't search both! Very frustrating.

They have changed the language on the Orbitz site to "Also search airports within 70 miles."

Well, that helps to know what it is, but I don't see why they had to do away with the old option: Search 25, 50, or 100 miles away.

That was so ideal for good control of your search. Another software "enhancement" that reduces functionality!

And if COS/DEN aren't a logical search pair, I don't know what is. Fort Colins (FNL) is also introducing commercial service, so it would be very desirable to be able to search DEN +100 miles which would cover all three.
