Could someone please help me with a creative routing so I can hit my goal of 3,200 miles with any *A airline?
My routing is as follows - ORD to Washington, DC (DCA, IAD, or BWI).
My budget is $400-$450.
My dates are 6/13 or 6/14 - 6/17 or 6/18.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Just outside of your budget, and these are the best layovers ITA is showing, but, I'm not finding much elsewhere for your mileage purposes (also, it's $490 to avoid overnight in FLL which may outdo cost of hotel)
