Multi-City Award (DCA-ATL-MSY-DCA)
Does anyone know how many miles it costs to do a domestic multi-city award on US Air? I can't seem to find anything on their site about it, and before I call the general reservations #, I'd like to know whether or not it's even feasible.
I'm looking to book three tickets from the DC area (either DCA or IAD) to Atlanta for a couple of days, then on to New Orleans for two days before coming back to Washington.
Thanks for any help and/or suggestions.

You would be better off booking an open-jaw domestic award (ATL-MSY-DCA) and then buying the cheapest available one-way ticket on any carrier DCA-ATL. That, or just buy tix for the multi-city travel.
Domestic award redemption is often a relatively poor way to spend miles. Given that it would cost you more than one award per traveler for your proposed itinerary, you should definitely not try to do this with miles alone.
