Concur with UA959. However, IAD-CLE is an express route. So, if there are any delays or issues at IAD, you can bet your dollar that the UX flights are going to be delayed/held/canceled to make room for the mainline flights.
UA7158 12/1 CLE 6:20 AM IAD 7:32 AM CRJ 1h12m
UA7159 12/1 CLE 10:25AM IAD 11:34AM CRJ 1h09m
UA7163 12/1 CLE 2:26 PM IAD 3:46 PM CRJ 1h20m
UA7135 12/1 CLE 7:05 PM IAD 8:28 PM CRJ 1h23m
I'd book the 10.25 if you can. Otherwise, the 2.26 flight, but then you might hit some rush-hour traffic getting from IAD to DCA. Don't book the 7.05, that'd be too late to drive there (from CLE) if something goes wrong.
