LATAM Airlines carries dogs and cats in the cabin and in the hold up to 32 kg. The pet's place is booked in advance — at least 48 h before departure.
Snub-nosed breeds are not accepted in the hold. Direct flights reach 26 countries, but flying there and taking a pet are different questions: the destination country has its own entry rules.
A personal plan combines the airline's rules with the destination's
The conditions that send people back to the ticket desk: closed destinations, breeds, heat limits and how early the pet must be booked.
THE HOLD accepts neither snub-nosed (brachycephalic) nor potentially dangerous breeds — the carrier states both restrictions in one sentence, together with the requirement for a rigid carrier and the maximum weight. For the CABIN no breed restriction is stated: the limit there is size — the pet must be able to stand up and move naturally inside its carrier without touching the walls, and the carrier goes under the seat in front. If the pet exceeds the weight limit or is another species, LATAM Cargo remains — a separate service, not a place on the passenger flight. The carrier publishes no lists of breeds by name.
LATAM Airlines flies direct to 26 countries according to the schedules. Flying there is not the same as taking a pet: the destination country has its own entry rules, and the carrier itself closes some routes to animals.
