Good luck.
flyrights, you seem to be very unlucky, or have bad experiences in your travels. I hope you one day have a pleasant experience outside of your country. Your bad luck has to change!

To the OP, along the lines of the suggestions on Singapore or Malaysian, is Emirates an option? With generous miles and service up there with QS, even in Y, you might earn some decent miles sufficient for a holiday trip.
Gulf Air is offering double miles this month, but I'm unsure if itconnects with LAX. Good luck
