In fact, there is a simple DAB-CLT-PWM sold by US as well as dozens of two-segment routings through EWR/ORD/PHL/DCA.

I withdraw my generalization that both cities must be CO served, but it seems there are certain complexities.

It's not really complex, it's just that there's nothing available that day. Getting an error is correct, just the error message language is not accurate.

Punch in another set of dates with availability, and you'll get results.
