It allows up to 8 Segments (4 each way), which is a good value for segment runners at under 25/segment. I've priced a lot of options at under $200 All-In.

Example of a routing: LAS-LAS-SFO-SAN-IAD (redeye) then IAD-DEN-SAN-SFO-LAS. That comes out of 7050ish EQMs for under $200, or 2.8 c/EQM. Plus only the LAS legs are on Ted. DEN-SAN is about 2h15m - which might mean a meal in FC as well (not sure).

Just out of curiosity - How do you find combinations like these? Manually inputting them and then changing dates to minimize fares seems to take forever and the odds of hitting it by chance are almost lotto quality ;-) Is there a tool that you use?
