The chart says 7500 miles each way. Seems like they reduce it for short distances, in a quite non-obvious way. BOS-IAD is 7000, even though it's shorter than SAN-SFO.

80k LM can be used for a $4000+ international business class fare (5+c/mile), but you're considering using 9k LM for a $163 fare (1.8c/mile). It's quite possible that there are no experts in spending LM that way.
