phatteus: yes. i used to use "NYC" but now i use "nyc," "lga," "ewr," and "jfk" (those airport codes stand for New York City airports, LaGuardia Airport, Newark International Airport, and John F. Kennedy (a.k.a., Kennedy) International Airport, respectively) and many times i get cheaper results by typing in the airport codes individually.
the problem with using individual airport codes is that sometimes you can get a better fare if you fly into one airport and return to another, which would be fine with me. you would assume that orbitz would try every possible iteration (and i am certainly not going to do that).
isn't that what the $5 is for?
