I think I need separate receipts that will show individual ticket costs.

Are any of those other competitors offering cheaper one-way fares doing so with a non-stop flight? If not are you willing to pay for that convenience and time saved??
Delta one-way tickets are $115 and are approximately 50% of the round trip tickets.

I forgot to mention that Delta flights are also non-stop flights. The only difference for me is my United gold status, which is handy when I have extra luggage. However, extra $160 for free bags is way too expensive.
