Don't you have to do it as two separate (and thus "unprotected") bookings to do coach SJC-LAX and then LAX-LIM in business?

Anyway, as jamienbaker pointed out, the SFO-LAX-LIM may very well be "phantom" inventory. There's likely really no more than 1 seat currently released for the LAX-LIM leg, no matter what the BA site claims.
