I’m not aware of any tools that will provide this information automatically. But so far the “dead end “ routes that you describe seem to be working fine for most people as out-and-backs. Eg, I did BOS-BUF-BOS-CHS-BOS this past Saturday, 2 easy turnarounds in BUF and CHS. If the two flights you mention are BDL-RSW-BDL i doubt you will have any problem. I think it is the flights going *into* major hubs where there would be a potential risk of a new aircraft being subbed to do the return flight.
