PS = $3,000 for ONE leg seems high. From Z - D on the SFO route (if D is available) should be around £900 ish one way, so around $3,500 RETURN...

I guess I'll have to pay USD 2,994 more just to experience the Drive Thru Check-in service at LHR if I want fly LHR-SFO, or pay USD 1,528 more and do LHR-JFK and suffer from JFK-SFO on a domestic flight.
