I’m entitled to a refund per LATAM due to the mid flight itinerary change and being stuck in São Paulo for 24 hours and needing to get a hotel. The airline was dismissive and of no help.

I’m entitled to a refund per LATAM due to the mid flight itinerary change and being stuck in São Paulo for 24 hours and needing to get a hotel. The airline was dismissive and of no help.

The flight was late. Please do not delay next time.

I couldn't travel, now I can't get a refund and to change the date I have to pay an absurd fine.

Boarding was confusing with a delayed flight because there was no English translation

My biggest complaint is the comfort. I am not tall and there was no legroom. It was very uncomfortable. During my transfer in Sao Paola, the flight was slightly delayed so boarding was confusing because there were no instructions in English.

Bought a ticket that included a bag and they still charged me to check it in, latam is the worst airline.

I never got this flight. You sent me to Chile!!! And from Chile I got the other flight to São Paulo... I've arrived 7h latter than I was supposed to arrive because of Delta delays.

Lost ,y connection due to a mechanical delay, huge line to get new connection and vouchers

It’s a delta flight operated by LATAM. The whole ticket sale is a mess, delta changed my flight but didn’t update it in LATAM system, I couldn’t get my boarding pass, it took me hours to resolve this issue with delta. I had to change my travel plan. No apology from Delta even though it’s their fault.

The boarding and new bag drop-off process was confusing and causing massive delays.

The crew was polite, the Captain specially was cool! But the onboard service was nonexistent: No entertainment, no food, no reclining seats. I know it is a low cost, but the cost of the ticket was not so low for just the transport service.

Was a good flight, no delays and good customer service.

Customer service is horrible. Our flight was at 9pm and we were at check in counter by 7pm. The crew strolls in at 7.30 without even an apology. We were suppose to get our boarding passes online but the website was not working at expected and the staff kept arguing with us saying that is not possible.

There was no entertainment but everyone just used their phones.

The app told us that carry on luggage was included but we were made to pay for it again at the check in counter, making it a very expensive flight. Not happy

I was charged 168 soles for kids stroller. We have travelled across the world and have never charged for the stroller. Horrific airlines and the staff was extremely rude. They wouldn’t let us board unless we pay the extra baggage cost. Never ever flying this airline and I would recommend the same for the others.

Avoid this airline. They are unprofessional. The captain left several passengers on ground due to covid restrictions which were never communicated. As a chilean, I am ashamed that this low level airline comes from my country. Remember this horrible brand and avoid it... Jetsmart

This airline scams people into paying multiple times for their baggage. I prepaid $150 for my son's baggage roundtrip from Miami to Cusco. We he checked in at Miami, they said it was not paid for in their system and they would not let him board the plane unless he paid $88 for the baggage despite him showing the receipt that I had already paid. THEN, when he landed in Lima, they told him he had to pay another $73 for his bag to get to Cusco or they would not let him board...even though he now had 2 receipts showing he paid! I called to let them know of this error and that I wanted to be refunded for the additional $161 they charged him. I also wanted to make sure that it was showing in the system that we had already paid for the baggage so that this would not happen again on his return flight. They assured me it was in the system, but when we went to check in for his return flight, they said it was not in the system (despite me showing all 3 of our previous receipts and where it had come out of my bank account) and made us pay another $73 for his baggage or they would not let him on his return flight! I have called twice and emailed twice with no resolution. We paid $384 for one normal size and weight bag. They did the same thing to my mom on a flight the week before! I truly believe that they are scamming customers out of hundreds of dollars. I would like to know what agency I can report this fraud to as trying to address it with the airline has not worked.

Disorganized. Multiple flight time changes both ways and double dipping charging for carry on bags/checked bags. We booked directly through Sky to avoid 3rd party agent hassle. Unlikely to fly again with this airline.

Changed schedule without notice , canceled flight, mediocre competition, no help with the lost connecting flights.

Bare bones flight no entertainment minimal, if any food or beverage. warm beer only if you want a cocktail

Sky canceled our 8 am flight at 1 am. However Kiwi.com, who we used to book our flight (because sky airways online system would always give us an error message when we entered our payment information ) didn’t claim it was a cancellation but simply a 12.5 hour delay, and rescheduled our flight for 8:30 pm. This would have left us stuckk at the airport for 12.5 more hours, as we we staying at the Wyndham hotel at the airport. We were unable to request a refund this through kiwi because they don’t allow refunds for any schedule changes with less than 24 hours difference. Kayak and sky airline’s own websites showed the flight as cancelled. Only kiwi showed it as a very very very delayed flight. This way kiwi can keep our money. Ugh. We tried for hours to request a refund at the sky airlines website, but there was always an error at the very last step where you enter your refund credit card information. We ended up being forced to request refund vouchers which are good for 12 months but which we will likely never use. We ended up booking new flights with Latam airlines that got us out at 8:40 am. We will never use kiwi.com again.

my flight was canceled without reason or possibility of resuming another flight within the time frame of my trip I could not contact an adviser either by email or by telephone because no communication possible on the website I could not have the flight reimbursed I find this way of doing things by the company inadmissible I have lost €250 it is theft I do not recommend this company and I consider that you have not done your job because I have not obtained any help from your part

J’ai réservé avec Kayak. Sur mon billet de confirmation il était noté que j’avais droit à des bagages pour chaque passager mais on m’a fait payer 36 dolllars pour l’un des passagers.

Flight check in Lima to Cusco all went very smoothly and plane boarded on time. All in all a great experience for a low cost fare.

Don’t ever book with them. They are worse than Ryanair and you will end up paying more for the worse possible airline and deal with ignorant people who don’t know what “customer” is. Avoid at all costs
