Agreed - but don't always trust the results. With the Fare Calendar I have found different results (lower prices) on certain dates when I drill down. Kind of like the color coding bug with the reward availability calendar.
BTW aacharya EWR-TUS ~$280 ai is back for the same time frame if you were looking for something ex. fortress Newark.

For $7 more you can get another few miles...
The fare apparently allows you to book two stops... SJC-IAH-ORD-LGA or you can toss in CLE instead of ORD and you can even get creative and get DCA in there. Extra mileage isn't that much, but it gives you great possbilities for bumps if things go wrong (and it's kinda fun visiting airports).

Still, this route is currently the cheapest way to get trans-con with very little advance purchase.
$185 one way with a one day advance - great for last minute needs. If anyone knows of anything cheaper, please post...
