Multiple Segments from DCA to CLE Needed
 

I am looking for a multi-segment flight that eventually gets me to Cleveland from DCA this coming Sunday and would appreciate any recommendations on how to search for such a flight. I have found reasonable 3- and 4- segment possibilities (multiple tickets ending up in CLE), though found these through brunt force as opposed to a replicable method. Any input would be great on how to search for this type of flight.

Thanks.

I would think 1 stop in each direction will be the max, if youd do say a DCA-IAH-EWR-CLE CO will most likely Kill you fare wise Just guessing based on my experience with CO

you could put in DCA-CLE and see if it will throw up any connections or use Multi-city and put in each segemnt

I am attempting to reach Platinum on CO and currently need 8.5 segments. I will not need to achieve all of them on this leg, though would like to check as many off as possible. I need to be in CLE for business on Monday AM, so am planning to dedicate CAK is an alternative destination and I can do any of the regional Sunday to travel. Miles are not an issue as my best bet to qualify is via segments. The best alternative that I have found is a fare with two separate flights - CO: DCA-EWR-BOS and US: BOS-CLT-CAK. Total Miles: 1,518; Cost: $371. 24 CPM and $92.75 per segment.

Feedback and ideas are welcome. ATL offered some interesting flight options as well. I would like to keep the budget around $400 or less.

Thanks
