Not sure it was the cheapest way but I booked it using 58,000 MR transferred to VS. If you know of a better way please share.

AA that's all in one zone. Wouldn't be more then 15k if you can find a routing that's not through SA zone 2

Need to fly ORD-LAX RT with 4 in September.  I can book on VX for just under 75k points.  Worth it to transfer 60k SPG to get the 4 flights?

Yeah, it's $400+ RT on VX (and $350+ on other airlines).  Thanks !
