"refuses to issue a full refund"
E Marlez (Chile)
✅ Trip Verified | I bought a ticket with an agency for a LATAM flight and had to cancel because of illness. Even though the airline policy is to issue a full refund in case of medical inability, they have refused to do so for over 2 months now. They keep playing the talk to the agency game, even after the agency has confirmed that the airline refuses to issue a full refund and will only give the taxes back (less than 10% of ticket amount).

"I would strongly recommend LATAM"
Salvo La Mantia (Australia)
✅ Trip Verified | I flew a total of 5 flights with LATAM the last two weeks. Mexico-Santiago (Business) Santiago-Calama-Santiago (Economy) Santiago-Auckland-Sydney (Business) All flights were on time and the ground and cabin crew were so professional and polite. I wasn’t expected much by reading the review but honestly LATAM became probably the best airline for me. Food was great, drinks choice pretty good. Service onboard was impeccable and seat were comfortable. Entertainment on long haul business was perfect and had lot of choice. Baggage not lost and check in always easy and fast. I would strongly recommend LATAM and give them a chance.

"service is terrible"
Javier Santos (United States)
Not Verified | If I could rate the service of this company in numbers, I would give it a -10 and no less than zero stars. On August 11 2023 I traveled through LATAM airlines, flight 4402 to connect my connection in Miami on an international flight. My odyssey began when I arrived at the El Dorado airport in Bogota to check in. The number of passengers, the chaos, disorder was like a movie. Very few airport staff do not have the training and even to my surprise almost no one speaks English. Continuing with my checking, it could not be done electronically, so I was redirected to the counters personally. When entering the checking line we had an average of 20 people with only 2 people from customer service. Ask a LATAM employee why you were waiting and if there was no staff for international passengers to attend to them directly. He replied no, that the same waiting line was for national and international passengers. I explained to him that in my opinion it was not right and the ticket costs were different (obviously the international tickets were more expensive) and in the case of connections they were more harmful for me. He told me that he couldn't do anything. My ODYSSEY really started there since when I checked the lady at the counter told me that my luggage had exceeded 20 Kilograms (approximately 40 pounds) and that I had to pay the excess. I answered that the suitcase had already been paid for at the place of origin in the United States and that I did not understand why I had to pay for it again. The lady from LATAM told me that I only had it for 10 pounds and OH my surprise when she told me that I have to pay an extra US$177.00 if I wanted to send it with my flight. I decided not to do it and tried to talk to a supervisor who never showed up and shone by his absence. When checking the prices of the suitcases on the website, costs between US$ 14 and up to US$ 25 appear on domestic flights but nothing is indicated for international flights. No one gave me an answer to what happened, so I filed a complaint on the LATAM website. In addition, the cabin service was of poor quality since there is no empathy or sympathy with the flight employees, low quality food and low communication too. My conclusion, if this review is of any use, do not travel with this airline since its service is terrible, unprofessional and the only thing they want is your money.

"Boarding was a mess"
Ruben Espitia (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | Boarding was a mess, they have some people in training but it was like everyone was in training and no one knew anything. It took more than two hours and at the last minute I was told that my luggage was not included and I needed it to pay again. We were running out of time and they ask for this ridiculous amount of money $355.49 for two bags about 35 lbs e/a they assured me that if it was already included they will refund the money in Miami but this never happened. Basically, they held us hostage, until the last minute to make us pay. We paid the full amount for the trip to Delta Airlines and the luggage was included both ways we flew in with four bags and came back with only two bags. I made the claim and they said that I agreed to pay, but it was no other option at the last minute if they told us it before I could leave the bags with my brother but after all this time he was gone.

"Sad experience"
Roman Sapia (Argentina)
✅ Trip Verified | Boarding was a mess, there was no room for those of us who had the correct luggage, and we put small things in the front seat, the compartments were full of other passengers' small things. Why make rules if then they don't enforce them? The food was completely cold, impossible to eat. The flight was delayed by more than 1:30 pm, for a "medical" reason. That was the only comment after keeping us on the plane for that time without any explanation. Then in Lima, with a 5:00 p.m. wait for the next flight, they could not explain to us whether or not we should pay the airport tax of more than 30USD per person if we wanted to re-enter the airport after going out to the city to a nearby hotel. The best response we got from the airline was that it was "random." Sad experience, unfortunately not the first with this airline, I will do my best to avoid it in the future. | El embarque fue un caos, no habia lugar para quienes teniamos el equipaje correcto, y poniamos las cosas pequeñas en el asiento delanterio, los compartimientos estaban llenos de pequeñas cosas de otros pasajeros. Para que ponen reglas si luego no las hacen cumplir? La comida estaba completamente fria, imposible de comer. El vuelo estuvo retrasado mas de 1:30hs, por una razon "medica" Ese fue el único comentario luego de mantenernos ese tiempo dentro del avión sin ninguna explicación. Luego en Lima, con 17hs de espera al vuelo siguiente, no pudieron explicarnos si debiamos o no pagar la tasa del aeropuerto de mas de 30USD por persona si queriamos volver a entrar al mismo luego de salir a la ciudad a un hotel cercano. La mejor respuesta que logramos de la aerolinea fue que era "aleatorio". Triste experiencia, lamentablemente no la primera con esta aerolinea, haré lo posible por evitarla en el futuro.

"I will never fly LATAM again"
Arturs Stay (Canada)
✅ Trip Verified | Very disappointed by the level of service provided for flight LA 2435 Lima to Mendoza, caused over 2 hours delay! The Pilot failed to show up and LATAM failed to take responsibility for unprofessional service. Waiting area we’re all stuck was completely inadequate conditions. LATAM website doesn’t except complains forms. I was trying to submit the complaint form three times to submit still failing. I will never fly LATAM again.

"worst airline I ever flown with"
Marco Navia (United States)
Not Verified | By far LATAM is the worst airline I ever flown with. Not only the flight departed over 1:30 hour late, but they charged a ridiculous amount of money per luggage for a family of 3. I paid $120 per check in bag each weighted 20 kilos one way, and $80 per bag for the return flight. I go to Bolivia every year and whenever I purchase international tickets. Bags are included. I will never flight or recommend LATAM to anyone.

"Still haven’t received the luggage"
Rob Des (Canada)
Not Verified | Checked in 3 suitcases and at arrival only 1 arrived. Filled out the lost luggage claim. Day after confirmed luggage had arrived and would be delivered shortly. Still haven’t received the luggage. Have been exchanging with the WhatsApp page useless. Tried calling number but can’t leave message because voice message is full over 20 exchanges. This company should not be in the airline service useless!

"Very nice experience"
Irenej Kolsek (Slovenia)
✅ Trip Verified | Very nice experience. Staff was very friendly and helpful at the airport. They also offered to check in our slightly big hand luggage which made the trip easier. I was just very surprised and happy with how friendly they were, and how pleasant then the whole experience was. Flight was comfy and snacks were good.
