"should be ashamed of their service"

(Czech Republic)

Trip Verified | Still did not receive money refund or voucher. So our case is still not solved, After five months of gross negligence and incompetence by LATAM call center (please read my previous post) they managed to issue some vouchers. Guess what happened. We were supposed to receive vouchers for taxes / fees vouchers in the amount of 160 USD per passenger. They managed to deliver two out of four vouchers. Reason unknown. We were supposed to receive vouchers for 20% of the fare (it was a voluntary pre Covid request) in the amount of 130 USD per passenger. They managed to send them out all but all of them state wrong amount of 10 USD. Reason unknown. Really, everything this company do, they do it wrong. This is an absolute incompetence or an intentional try to rip-off a customer. They should be ashamed of their service even when discounted for Covid circumstances.

"still did not receive money refund"

(Czech Republic)

Trip Verified | We were supposed to fly with this thing in March to Santiago. Due to corona related border closure between Czech Republic and Germany, we were not able to board our flight and we voluntarily cancelled our tickets on Mar 13th. Its five months later and we still did not receive money refund nor a voucher for our tickets. This by the way prohibits us from approaching insurance company and retrieve the rest of the money. Call centre service is apalling. During last five months I experienced passivity and unwilligness to solve our case - refund request mistreated multiple times when operators put wrong or uncomplete data into system - complete unwillingness to give this case some priority after five months - obvious lies or incompetence (constantly changing info bout form of refund and time schedule) - when promised to be called back, it never happened - one operator providing different info from the other I know airlines have a hard time now, but this airline customer service is in complete disarray. They even refused to provide refund calculation so I can take our case to the insurance company to retrieve the rest of the money we spent on the tickets. Im currently in state of awe how arrogant a corporation can be and will never ever board a LATAM plane.

"frustrated waiting for a refund"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | I have regularly used Latam Airlines in the past. After having my flight cancelled on the 2nd May 2020 due to Coronavirus. I am left extremely frustrated waiting for a refund. It has been 4 months now. I keep contacting my travel agency and all they have to say is Latam have authorised a full refund but have not issued the money. I wonder how long they will drag this on.

"Latam refuses a refund"

(United States)

Trip Verified | My Latam flights were all cancelled by Latam. I made the bookings via Expedia and I contacted Expedia to ask about a refund due to passengers when an airline cancels a flight. Expedia told me that I qualify for a refund but that Latam is not authorizing Expedia to refund any passenger. This is against international regulations requiring airlines to refund passengers when a flight is cancelled. They offer a voucher valid only until 12/2020. I am 78 years old and in poor health. This was to be my last vacation with my daughter. I cannot fly anywhere before 12/2020 and probably cannot fly anywhere in future. Yet Latam refuses a refund. May they cease operations!

"they charged me once again"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | On April I purchased a ticket from Latam and the money into my account was reduced, which, was clear that I was charged for the flight. I received an email from the company cancelling my flight and in the same day I notice that they charged me once again, so, I payed double for a flight that has been canceled. The customer service is terrible, really difficult for them to understand the situation and they need that to prove and error that they executed. For some reason I can’t clarify this into my statement, which makes the story even more confusing. I’m sure I payed for the amount a couple of months ago and now once again.

"I have had no refund"

(New Zealand)

Not Verified | I had a flight booked on the 8th April which was cancelled in March due to the pandemic. As flying is no longer an option, I submitted to have my travel vouchers refunded as cash into my bank account. Once this process was complete, I was told that this would take 30 days to show in my account. It has now been 12 weeks, I have had no refund and each time I call to speak to someone I get told "I don't know". All I want is a time frame and some reassurance but this is not possible from LATAM. I have been patient and understand the situation is out of the ordinary but I am disappointed in the lack of care and follow up from this Airline. I want to support this company but can no longer say I have faith in them

"the worst flight experience"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | LATAM is one of the worst businesses I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. While overseas I requested a change in flights from one of the ground staff and she said this was fine and she would organise that for us. Without letting us know LATAM then cancelled our flights totalling 2.5k dollars. They refused to accept their own staff members mistake and instead quoted us a flight home 3 weeks earlier than we were supposed to fly for another $2k. Then after over a week of back and forth they gave us back 2 of our 5 remaining flights for $1k (meaning we paid 3.5k for a return trip). The staff were unhelpful and the company has policies in place to abandon travellers in foreign countries with no contact information. They also managed to overbook the flight that they eventually gave us and tried to delay us for a day, without offering to pay for accomodation. I have travelled all over the world, through Europe, asia, south america and the middle east and LATAM is by far the worst flight experience I have ever had.

"never fly with Latam again"

(New Zealand)

Not Verified | I have been trying to get my refund since March 2020 when Latam canceled my flight 2 hours before the checkin time. It was not because of Covid 19, it was because there was not enough people in the flight. I drove 600km to get to the airport, lost a day in the road, the petrol money, the Airport parking tickets and Latam simply canceled my flight just like that. I have been trying to get my refund since. I was being patient due to the current world situation but I had enough. This company can not even follow up on emails. Since March I have opened several cases on their website and they never get solved, such a huge incompetence. I will never fly with Latam again. Latam is taking more then a month to reply to the case upload on their system and whey they do reply it does not even make sense. It seems that they don’t even take the consideration to read through your situation.

"extremely disappointed by LATAM"

(United States)

Trip Verified | I am extremely disappointed by LATAM. I've been trying to upgrade my cabin for more than a week calling and sending requests through the website link and when I get answers, it tells me that I would be contacted within 48 hours to tell me the price, but it never happened. Instead, I received a very rude e mail saying that "First of all you don't have a coupon. second, you don't have points..." Also, I sent my ESA docs and today I noticed that my case was closed (no e mail to inform, and I don't know the reasons, despite informing the animal's age and attaching ESA letter provided by a Nationally Certified and Licensed Psychologist. I phoned also several times and the costumer service has no answer, neither in Portuguese nor in English options. The only answer is "to wait for a contact within 48 hours (come on, you have an option on the calls "cabin upgrade" and when selected, you don't have the price for the service???? I will have a big surgery in Brazil and I am trying to prepare for my return with a little more comfort due to circumstances, but LATAM is making it impossible. All the aggravation is more than enough to say that this is not a serious company. Buy your ticket somewhere else.

"avoid business class"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Frankfurt to Sao Paulo. Business Class was a plastic bag of frozen sandwiches, a bottle of water and an apple. No blankets, no bedding, no coffee, no tea, not even a Coke or juice. No toiletries, no wine, no hot food. Nothing. LATAM have discovered a chance to save money in the coronavirus crisis. They charge the same high price, and give you nothing. Passengers were even forced to sleep on the airport floor while LATAM tried to fix their old plane. Please avoid business class, if you have to travel LATAM, book Economy
