Any advantages/disadvantages doing business between the three?

And if I need a flight from Buenos Aires to SCL, is the game any different?
I'd prefer the airline that can most protect me in an IROPS situation, and also the one where my DL status will give me lounge access . The game may be different from BUE and I'd read the rules carefully before completing a transaction with any airline, and then there's the point of sale and currency exchange matter. I'd be surprised if anyone other than AR is issuing tickets in Argentina.
