Ticket 1: AAA-ORD-MKE
Ticket 2: MKE-ORD-BBB

Then, a few days later...
Ticket 2: BBB-ORD-MKE
Ticket 1: MKE-ORD-AAA

Cost is $343 rt ai.

It is quite a bit more expensive to simply fly AAA-ORD-BBB-ORD-AAA, $427. But there's no way to avoid two visits to ORD in one day. .bomb wouldn't let me construct the fare as multi-city for that reason, I assume.

Thoughts? I don't want to get voted off the UA island, but I also can't afford to pay usurious fares unless I have to.
You would only be able to get away with skipping the last segment: either ORD-BBB or ORD-AAA
