DFW to OKC/DSM/STL/MCI/ICT/TUL/XNA/COU/IAH/AUS/SAT to ORD or vice versa.
Much easier to do than DFW - ORD direct.
Though the Texas outstations of IAH/AUS/SAT could be harder than just going to ORD directly.

I even considered flying SFO-LHR-IAH since I couldn't get literally anywhere out of SFO as a nonrev coming back from ICN. On my last big trip just before covid my backup plan was to do DEN-RIC and drive to IAD to get to TLV because DEN-IAD didn't look so hot. But I lucked out with the nonstop.

Flexibility was - is - the key when non-revving. I remember using TYS a few times to get from IAH to EWR and back. Used PIT for that trip once, too.
EDIT: Just remembered, I used LAS once for that commute as well.
