And when I search for fares on their site it always tries to route me though Detroit instead of going direct![This message has been edited by Diamond Dog (edited 02-25-2002).]</font>
Orange County to Detroit is $192 round trip on America West-- that's about the best domestic fare today from SNA, miles per dollars paid.
Separately, in the future, keep your eye on Long Beach to Dallas fares.... AA flies from Long Beach nonstop, so that may be another option.
