I hate to say this, but the phrase that comes to mind is, "same s_h_it, different name"...

4 segments on AUSTRAL / 1 on Aerolineas---All of my AUSTRAL flights were on aging MD-83s with no Bus. class. They did serve small meals. My Aerolineas flight was a nice new-ish 737-500 with a Bus. class.
All in all, the Aerolineas segment was nicer.
