HELP: NYC-CHI Cheap RT?
 

Howdy,
I THINK this is the place to post this now, as the MR forum is not. :-) I am trying to get the cheapest airfare from any NY airport (ISP, JFK, LGA, EWR) to Any Chicago airport (MDW, ORD) leaving on 5/8 at any time, or on 5/9 but arriving before 2PM and returning on 5/11, leaving after 7PM from CHI. I am not an ITA pro, but I would think there would be a good back to back or throw away with the Mothers day sales and IAD fare wars...can anyone help? Best I can do is Airtran for 260+. Thanks a ton!

See if two separate tickets would do the trick: one NYC to Dulles and a second Dulles to Chicago. Sometimes this can be cheaper than a through fare.
