Mileage runs out of ORF?
Has anyone ever come across mileage run opportunities out of the ORF area? We ALWAYS seem to have high fares from here. Despite all the tips I've picked up while lurking around FT for a while, I can't seem to find any steals for CO or NW. Hopefully, WN's entry onto our scene this fall will spur something exciting. . .

Here's the ORF-MSY flight Watchful referred to:
Norfolk to New Orleans: $126 RT

Not from ORF, but worth noting:
Washington, DC to San Francisco $160 RT

Richmond to Denver $156 RT

I believe these fares were instigated by Midway Airlines; snoop around to see who is matching them.

Thanks for the help. I was able to book a RT ORF-MSY with same day return for $177 on NW. The run should give me enough miles to get my wife and me to the west coast for free later this year to take advantage of cheap(er) tix to OGG. The $126 fare required a Saturday night stayover. For $50 more, I can return same day, get the same miles, and skip the hotel cost--works out a little better for me overall.
