I'm interested; good weather, Porteńo ambiente, Malbec and grass-fed beef - it's all good. I just have to convince la jefa this is all in good cause.

I've added a wiki post so we don't have to put the onus on "Don Gauchísimo" to keep the tab; anyone with 90 days and 90 posts on FT can add, change, etc.

I'm checking dates, fares, etc. but I'd like to do COW DO again.

Perhaps the question should be "how bad" will the experience be....? From what I hear, AR can be a very volatile experience. If you are lucky and get a crew that feels like doing their job you may have an OK experience, else, the other reports Ive heard make most US carriers in J seem like an Asian carrier experience with you compare it to what AR has to offer.

Being the DL heavy flyer that you are, Im going to say that only if the J price plus the mileage bonuses make it (really) interesting then this may become a consideration.... but I would do some serious expectation management before boarding.

Getting in Sat am from MXP via JFK. Staying at the PH (points+cash with DSU confirmed.) I remember the first COW DO, so looking forward to some great Malbec (and maybe a steak or two.)

I'm interested.

No guarantees as this will depend if I have a job in September and whether my new boss likes me enough already to give me plenty of holiday.
