With Latam, Lan Argentina and being OW Emerald, OW is the only sensible option, even if I got a match to AR.
I didn't believe everything I had heard about AR but after flying them for 3 hours in Club Economy (their domestic first class), and not receiving a drink (No water!!!!) I can say they are definitely the worst airline I've ever flown. Absolutely horrible. Their status is worthless as well. Stick to Oneworld!
