My home airport is Columbia, SC - CAE. What is the best way to investigate a segment run at a good price, other than just typing in various destination airports in the AA site over and over in the flight finder field? Any advice for a segment run newbie?

Plug in CAE. Pick a date that works for you, filter to oneworld, and look for the cheapest roundtrip price. I see r/t to CLT at $147/152 on many dates, as well as PHL/LGA and DFW. For some reason the northeastern ports want to connect in CRW and PHL. With some good searching you can hopefully find ~100 r/t.
