If you miss a LATAM Airlines flight, the implications and available options depend on the specifics of your ticket and the nature of your itinerary:
Missed Outbound Flight:
Domestic Flights Operated Exclusively by LATAM: For trips entirely within a single country (e.g., Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, or Peru), if you miss your outbound flight, you can still board the return flight without prior notice. Simply arrive on time for check-in and boarding for your return segment.
International Flights: If you miss your outbound international flight, LATAM's policies vary based on local regulations:
- From Colombia: Contact LATAM before the missed flight's departure or within one hour afterward to confirm your intention to take the return flight. Delayed notification may subject you to fare conditions.
- From Peru: Notify LATAM before the departure of the missed flight to confirm your seat on the return leg. Late notification may result in restrictions based on fare conditions.
- From Europe (Germany, Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, or the United Kingdom): Inform LATAM before the missed flight's departure or within 24 hours. If the next flight departs within 24 hours, notify at least 2 hours prior. Failure to do so may subject you to fare conditions.
Missed Connecting Flight:
If you miss a connecting flight due to a delay or other issues caused by LATAM, the airline offers solutions such as changing the time or date of your flight at no additional cost or requesting a refund for the ticket.
General Recommendations:
- Immediate Communication: If you anticipate missing a flight, promptly contact LATAM Airlines to explore rebooking options or alternative arrangements.
- Review Fare Conditions: Understand the terms associated with your specific fare, as policies regarding changes and missed flights can vary.
