Once you filter out all the RedEye flights, 2+ hour lay overs you are looking at about $650 - $680 RT.

To get a decent flight time and to keep the price reasonable, I am looking at United SFO-ORD-LAN and back. (My final destination is actually Birch Run, MI)

I about pooped my self. Any idea on why the heck its so expensive to get from San Francisco to Michigan?
Closest airport to Birch Run would be Flint (FNT). Fares in and out of there can sometimes be cheaper than DTW. LAN rarely has decent fares. Occasionally you find a decent fare in/out of GRR but it is farther away.
