LATAM clearly does not have well-established policies re: luggage for international flights to Lima followed by domestic flights within Peru (in my case, from Lima to Cuzco). On the way in, they forced me to pay $50 in Lima to check my second carry on bag (the three bags were included in the fare from JFK to Lima). On the return trip, they told me at check in that I would have to pay $50 again at the gate (she said they couldn't accept the money at check in) Then, at the gate, they initially told me I would have to pay several hundred dollars to check the big bag through to JFK. I protested, and showed them a print out of an email saying the checked bag was included between LIM and JFK. Than a second woman showed up, and told me I wouldn't have to pay anything at all -- which was great news, of course -- but that means I was incorrectly charged the extra $50 on the incoming flight. Basically, just a mess. Also, their website is completely non-functional -- it was very cleear that all the airport staff knew the website was nonfunctional, too.

Good check in process Poor information on payments at Lima airport
Latam may be the worst airline in the world, far worse than even the lowest of low cost airlines in the USA. I wasted hours trying to PAY THEM TO CHECK A BAG! Then they misled me at the terminal, sent me through the wrong security line, the list goes on and on... Just absolutely terrible in every way. Avoid at all costs.
I was in the last row and they sent me to check in my luggage last minute after boarding. I had to go through the crowd.
Although the flight is goof and the crew is good, the way the airline charges you for every service is ridiculous.
Only complaint is that the entertainment system wasn’t working on our seats and some others.
Routine and on time flight with pleasant stewards and decent food. Nice experience!
You delayed my trip three days for no reason other than your lack of preparedness, did not offer any compensation, including food or a bed. I couldn’t trust you so I moved up my return flight and lost another day at the end of my trip to hopefully make sure I make my next flight. I will never fly LATAM again. You have the worse accountability and reliability and clearly do not care that your clients have lives and what it cost to fly to another country.
No air in the middle rows. Had a hard time breathing. Was dying of heat.
It was a good experience, the flight was a little too long & the food was ok
It was hot and not as comfortable as the flight to Chicago. Must have been a different plane that needs to be worked on or replaced.
My flight was delayed so bad i missed u it so i just said never mind
Wonderful flight! The crew was good, check-in was good and orderly and the flight was uneventful and good.
Gluten free snack options and meals that offer both gluten free and dairy free.
The pilot was late so we didn’t take off til almost 2 hours late.
The SFO lounge closes at 12 midnight. My flight took off at 2AM
Not a bad flight but a long delay boarding and taking off due to the pilot not arriving on time.
The experience with United Airlines was excellent; however, the experience with Houston Intercontinental Airport (IAH) was horrible. Although our flight departed from Terminal B, we had to go through security in Terminal C and then get on a train for travel to Terminal B. Additionally, there was significant walking required to get to the boarding location.
Late FA meant slow boarding. WiFi did not work. I’m a medium plus sized passenger. The seatbelt was for the first time ever barely fitting. And we delayed on the tarmac 40 min
Some of these FA’s need attitude check. Snarky bitches
