Routes flown changing one letter origin -> destination
I’m sure you’re familiar with puzzles in which the object is to go from one word to another by changing one letter at a time, such as
CAT -> COT -> COG -> DOG
That got me wondering how many “change one letter” flights FTers have done, and whether anyone has done a multi-flight chain itinerary a la SAN-JAN-JAX.
Personally, I’ve flown
DFW-DTW
ORF-ORD
PHL-PHX
CAT -> COT -> COG -> DOG

This is perhaps somewhat easier to do in Canada — for instance I have flown YYZ-YYT, in addition to your ORD-ORF.
I also remember turning down a direct MSY-MSP flight option on DL in favor of doing MSY-DEN-MSP on UA...

I have been trying to go from EAT -> FAT -> FIT, but unfortunately the latter does not have commercial service anymore.

LAS—LAX
STT—STX
MCO—MCI (haven’t actually done this, but it’s probably feasible ... Southwest perhaps?)

I've only done LAS-LAX and ORD-ORF. Surprisingly despite all my United flying, I've never flown IAD-IAH.
Edit: Also done KWA-KSA as listed below.
Edit Again: Did fly IAD-IND once for a medical diversion.
