With my travel planned I will be ending up 700miles short of 1K. Trying to spend as little and as little time away from home as possible. Thanks!
How about mixing Basic Econ with Regular Econ? Something like this, with two tickets:

UA:$292 EWR-CHS (BE+Econ) 942PQM
Sat 14 Dec EWR-CHS in BE

Sat 14 Dec CHS-EWR in Econ
Link: https://flights.app.goo.gl/s7ZCu

I would tend to think the outbound in BE is the better option, as this gives SDC flexibility on the return, in case you need it. And seems the flights are ERJ-145, so there's no middle seats to worry about.
