Huh? Does that work?
I would lean to the ATL<>LAX then CI route as first choice. If trying CI out of SFO make certain the metal is OK (CI still flies a lot of crap BE product, LAX flights are fine though).
EDIT: This might seam horrid, but you can consider a cheap paid flight to the west coast if need be. At least do the math before dropping more than a low award on this ticket.
