I've looked at BOS-DFW-BOS which is AA1001 leaving at 5:00am and returning on AA1094 after a three hour layover getting in at 4:28pm, that works in terms of miles and the cost isn't crazy (AA offered a buy-up for $1,200), just curious if there are tools that might help me find something better.

I doubt I can afford to do connections and still be back in BOS in the afternoon but would value any suggestions folks may have.

Thanks in advance,

Chris.
