The fix.would be to extend more than 4 hours between flights, or book two one-ways.
Very interesting...don't remember seeing this previously.
The only exceptions I have found from LAX in September and October are PBI, MIA, FLL, MCO, TPA. RSW, OGG and KOA, where fares price out under (and sometimes well under) 5 cpm. I found one as low as 3.111 cpm. They involve a red eye and spending most of the day in a club, but there are a few exceptions out there!
