Pet Policy Overview
LATAM Airlines is South America's largest carrier group, with subsidiaries operating across Chile, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and Peru. The airline offers cabin and hold pet transport on most domestic and international routes, making it the primary option for cat owners traveling within or from South America. LATAM's extensive network connects major South American cities with destinations in North America, Europe, and the Pacific, providing valuable routing options for international pet relocations.
Key Details
Pet Fee
From $50–200 (cabin, varies by route)
Pro Tip
LATAM requires pet reservations through their Contact Centre — book at least 4 hours before departure, though booking as early as possible is strongly recommended due to strict per-flight limits. The airline's weight limit for cabin pets varies slightly by subsidiary (LATAM Chile, LATAM Brazil, etc.), so always confirm with the specific operating carrier. Pets must be accompanied by a passenger aged 12 or older, which is stricter than most carriers.
Restrictions
Brachycephalic breeds restricted from hold travel. Cabin pet limits are strict — typically 2–4 per flight depending on aircraft. Not available on all codeshare or partner-operated flights. UK-bound travel requires cargo-only transport. Minimum age for pets is 8 weeks domestically, varies internationally. Health certificate and rabies vaccination always required.
