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.

FWIW, my experience is that NYC does not normally include EWR, just JFK/LGA. Even so, I agree with your strategy of checking on separate codes as the best way to go. You can also score an occassional deal by checking HPN, too.
