Agreed - also (I can't quote the original post for some reason!) - but the CLT portion of that ticket looks TERRIBLE - 6am arrival then a 6pm leaving the next day. This is awful for hotel bookings - you might get away with early check-in but probably not late check-out. No lounge access as AA domestic (non-flagship flight). From my time in Charlotte it wasn't a particularly exciting place to visit either...
