I booked the BWI-ORD-CMH flights for $116 on Sept 7-8 (Sun-Mon). I had hoped for a same-day turn-around on the weekend, but I could not find UA flights leaving CMH -- they were all US codeshares.
I had wanted to do the IAD-LGA flights for $146 on Sun, Sept 7. Although it was more expensive, it did not require a hotel stay. BUT I violated rule #1 of MR -- I waited too long and the fare was no longer available.
Thanks to all for you help and support.
