The route is

- LHR-MAN-PHL
- PHL-SFO
- LAX-LHR

But the flight from PHL leaves 2hr 45mins after it lands (arr. 14:10 & dep. 15:55). If I book the later ticket, I will end up waiting in PHL for far too long.

If anybody has a way around this, then I would be most appreciative!
You can book this online as one ticket with American, 1 hr 45m doesn't give you much wiggle room though - do you have Global Entry and carry on only? AA will protect you in case of IRROPS however.
