Segment Run Advice Please
Hi Guys,
I need to book 18 segments out of DTW the week of 12/25 to hit EP on AA. 3 round trips with 2 connections each way should do it. Trying to find the cheapest way to do this is tricky. Any way to trick Google into showing only flights with 2+ stops? Recommendations on other software / sites to use?

I'm assuming American Eagle flights count same as any - you'll want to double-check.
4 segments - https://goo.gl/flights/7w5U $262 DTW-DCA-BNA-CLT-DTW 12/24 same day turnaround
5 segments - https://goo.gl/flights/B27D $187 DTW-PHL-SBY-**CLT-ORD-DTW 12/25 same day turnaround, **note SBY-CLT is a Dash 8 prop plane.
(i skipped 12/26 because prices were too nuts - take a break)
5 segments - https://goo.gl/flights/tWSW $358 DTW-DCA-CLT-BNA-ORD-DTW 12/27 same day turnaround
5 segments - https://goo.gl/flights/is2f $345 DTW-DCA-CLT-ATL-ORD-DTW 12/28 same day turnaround
Well, I've got you 19 segments there and still home in plenty of time to recuperate and prep for new years - and only $1152 spent, plus you may come to be on a first name basis with the morning shift crew at the Starbucks at National. So if you want you can skip the Dash-8 segment if you don't like prop planes. Or keep it and you can shorten one of your later flights by a segment. I just kinda had to leave it in there for how good a deal that ticket was per segment.

thanks daniel949 !
So I got everything planned out thanks to you. Sometimes AA will reject the google flights I pick, im not sure why. Also I noticed in Economy fare I get 1/2 the segments that I would get in standard. The SBY trip was showing 2.5 EQS. . Managed to get 18 segments in for around 1100 dollars. hopefully I don't miss any connections!
