I’m living close to the Miss. State Univerisity. It’s close to the airports of Columbus, MS, also Tupelo, MS and Tuscloosa, AL. I search almost all ticket websites but the prices are much to high.
Sure I know the way to buy tickets from Jackson, MS or Birmingham or Memphis. However these cities are a little far away and the gas would cost a lot if I drive there.
When I was in northwest, it was easy to find cheap tickets from internet, even small airports.

I would suggest the following:
1) Find out all of the airlines that fly to those small airports. Many times there are airlines that flights do not appear on Expedia and Orbitz. For example, if your small airport has a United Express float, fly to destinations where United flies, that will be cheaper than if you try to fly to Atlanta (Delta) or Houston (Continental) have their hubs. That is why it is important to know which airlines fly to your airports.
2) I recommend the following sites to compare prices:

http://www.kayak.com

3) Flights are cheaper if you fly on weekdays, also search for flights during the day, not at night as you wont have that many options.
4)have you consifdered taking public transit to a place where Southwest flies? Greyhound is not a bad option and you get student discounts.
Small airports are always expensive as they cant give you volume discount.
