LAX-based flyer here who will be re-locating to Mexico City for a year starting in 2019. This came at an awful time for me airline wise since both United is (or is about it) pull their LAX-MEX route and Alaska airlines is dropping MEX as a destination completely. I don't care much for upgrades when I fly, and the only thing I use miles for are flights from LAX to Beijing for my family members and I generally try and book J for them since they are elderly. Should I switch to AA or Delta/AeroMexico is this situation? Would it make sense to stick with United if I'm having to commute through SFO or IAH each time I fly to LA? I haven't really considered Delta too much, but they seem to have more Chinese-based carries......

Thanks in advance for the input.
