I did SFO-MGA for the PLT challenge back in late August. Try SFO-JFK-MIA-MGA. It may even let you book SFO-LAX-JFK-MIA-MGA. Nice ride, especially the LAX-JFK. I believe that I got about 14-15K EQP. Make sure you use "Multi City" to get decent schedule.
I used the F&F rate & booked the Mangua IC for $58. Nice hotel. Have to book at least 7 days in advance to get that rate, if available.
