I see availability on AA for both the 26th and 27th in economy MAD - MIA for 30K. Just find a flight from MIA to LAX and you should be in like Flint. Then call AA and give them the flight numbers and route that you wish to take. The entire trip MAD to LAX should just cost you 30K. When using miles you need to be a little creative and sometimes take routes that you normally wouldn't think of. Don't count on the airlines to check all routes. I check flights out of BUD and into JFK, ORD and MIA. there are others as well. Hope this helps.
