OK. I give. How do you get 10 segments when you originate in EFD? What tricks do you use? How do you get Continetal.com to do multi-segments?

Actually, I would like more tips like Happymob provided. Any other ideas out there?

I have used the following tricks (with varying degrees of success):
1) ITN and Trip.com (to see which hub to hub and other segments are the cheapest -- so I can book them on a web site)
2) NWA.com and plugging in a secondary hub within part of a multi-segment trip (ex: Searched for MCI-DTW-SAN, by available flights and got MCI-MEM-DTW-MSP-SAN -- choose each flight manually and picked the ones with extra segments through hub airports). A lot of trial and error to find a decent fare.
3) I have also had some success with Happymob's suggestion of doing a multi-segment search with a non-hub as the second destination ... By the way, using CLE as the second segment on NWA.com also works well sometimes. Gets you on CO metal too!

But alas! Despite these tricks, my success has been hit and miss (usually the fare comes back several times the normal rate). I have particularly had problems finding multi-segment trips on Continental.com. NWA.com has been easier.

Any tips on using Continental.com for finding multi segment trips? Any other tricks out there for multi-segs (regardless of web site or source)? I gave you my tricks.
