Price/convenience versus possibly more miles
OK, I have never done a MR.
I am looking at a quick TPA-DCA where I have time to spare in my actual travel time. As long as I am in town for the next day, I can leave a day early and allow myself time.
I see:
Jetblue $59.00 Non stop, no challenges. 2:10 in travel time.
United $67.00. Plane change in CLE. 5:33 in travel time. In the WINTER.
What do I get from UA for this? Actual mileage of 1237 miles or 500 miles on the OW?
Thanks for any guidance.

Yes to getting at least 12xx miles - of course, if you're an Elite, you'll get even more.
Of course, this is assuming your flight is prior to March 1.
