Aerolineas might just be the worst flying experience of my life, and that includes pre-Glasnost Aeroflot, Ethiopian and Avianca. I was stuck flying them for almost a year during an Argentinean consulting assignment, and their Buenos Aires -Mendoza (equivalent to New Yor-Chicago) route, was two hours plus late or outright cancelled about 93% of the time.
