Next time, immediately ask for the international reissue desk. These are experienced agents that will take care of it quickly.

The other way around your problem would have been to have a stopover and use a low F return from LAX to complete another trip you are taking to LA.

Not sure if you have plans like that, but it would have got you up front if you were already planning it.
