I still think you are better off flying FLL-YYZ-YVR on fully flat AC seats. You will have to buy a separate YVR-ANC ticket though, but YVR-ANC is shorter than from LAX.

ETA: Never mind; CO is using the 753 mostly this summer.

You want flight #299 that leaves MIA at 8:40 AM. That's the 777. You could try the 763 but those seats are flat at an angle. Depending on your back issue those seats may or may not work for you.
I feel your pain becaue I also have back problems. I had to endure the 767 & 757 on UA for LAX-OGG recently. Don't get me wrong, I was VERY grateful to be in F, but the seats were so cramped with so little recline, I can't imagine what it was like for those (with back problems) in coach.
I understand your need for lie flat seats and am ecstatic that I was able to get AA saver awards in F on the 777 for my upcoming LAX-MIA.
Good luck to you!

It would be a very long trip, especially since the Sunset Limited no longer operates between Florida and New Orleans. Routing would be via Washington, DC, or New York. A bedroom from Florida to Seattle could be had for 50,000 Amtrak Guest Rewards points (or 50,000 Continental OnePass miles converted to AGR points) if one did not want to pay cash; a roomette would cost 35,000 AGR points. All meals included on board; booze is extra.
