I found away around this. Leave LAX one day early and stay the night in MIA on the way down. Same price
No problem on the way back.
Sure it means an extra night in a hotel room, but we have plenty of points and we will arrive refreshed. For us it is a vacation we would have done anyway. This will be our third year in a row in Tamarindo & Papagayo.

We are doing the same thing this July. How are you getting to LAX? I did not realize purchasing a 2nd AA ticket SFO-LAX would not allow us to thru-check bags, so now am looking at overnight in LAX on the outbound (in addition to overnight in MIA) in order to ensure making our LAX-MIA (77W) flight in the morning.
