In Economy, LATAM Airlines allows a carry-on up to 55 x 35 x 25 cm (22 x 14 x 10 in) and 12 kg (26 lb), plus a 10 kg personal item of 45 x 35 x 20 cm. Each checked bag can weigh 23 kg (51 lb) and measure 158 linear cm. Premium Economy and Premium Business raise the carry-on weight to 16 kg (35 lb).
Economy passengers get a 12 kg (26 lb) carry-on, and Premium Economy and Premium Business raise that to 16 kg (35 lb), all in a 55 x 35 x 25 cm bag plus a 10 kg personal item. Every checked bag is capped at 23 kg (51 lb) and 158 linear cm. Free checked bags follow the fare: none on Basic or Light, 1 on Standard, 2 on Full and Premium Economy, and about 3 in Premium Business.
| CABIN | CARRY-ON | PERSONAL ITEM | FREE CHECKED BAGS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy | 12 kg (26 lb), 55 x 35 x 25 cm | 10 kg, 45 x 35 x 20 cm | 0 on Basic and Light, 1 on Standard, 2 on Full |
| Premium Economy | 16 kg (35 lb), 55 x 35 x 25 cm | 10 kg, 45 x 35 x 20 cm | 2 x 23 kg |
| Premium Business | 16 kg (35 lb), 55 x 35 x 25 cm | 10 kg, 45 x 35 x 20 cm | 3 x 23 kg |
The carry-on limit is 55 x 35 x 25 cm (22 x 14 x 10 in) and 12 kg (26 lb) in Economy, with wheels and handles counted in the size. The size stays the same in Premium Economy and Premium Business, where the weight allowance rises to 16 kg. Basic fares on domestic and regional flights include only the personal item, so the carry-on must be added for a fee.
LATAM sets the carry-on weight by cabin rather than by fare, so a Premium Business ticket gets 4 kg more than Economy in the same size bag.
A personal item, such as a small bag or backpack, can measure up to 45 x 35 x 20 cm (17.8 x 13.8 x 7.9 in) and weigh 10 kg (22 lb). LATAM counts pockets, wheels and handles in those measurements, so a small wheeled bag needs its wheels inside 45 cm.
LATAM does not say how often it weighs cabin bags, but it sets a limit for both pieces: 12 kg (26 lb) for an Economy carry-on and 10 kg (22 lb) for the personal item. Premium Economy and Premium Business passengers get 16 kg (35 lb) for the carry-on.
Your bag allowance rises with the fare brand. Basic includes a personal item only on domestic and regional flights, and Light adds the 12 kg carry-on but no checked bag. Standard includes 1 checked bag of 23 kg, Full and Premium Economy include 2, and Premium Business about 3. Counts can shift by route, so check the fare table when you book.
| FARE | CARRY-ON | FREE CHECKED BAGS (23 KG) |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Personal item only (domestic and regional) | 0 |
| Light | 12 kg | 0 |
| Standard | 12 kg | 1 |
| Full | 12 kg | 2 |
| Premium Economy | 16 kg | 2 |
| Premium Business | 16 kg | 3 |
The help center gives no fixed checked bag price. LATAM says the cost varies with the flight date (high or low season), how early you buy and the route, and shows the price in the Baggage section when you book. Buying online in advance can save up to 40%. If your fare has no carry-on, one can be added for a fee. Sports equipment and instruments have fixed prices per route.
Each checked bag can weigh up to 23 kg (51 lb) and measure up to 158 linear cm (62 in), counting length, width and height together. LATAM does not pool weight across bags, so one 25 kg bag pays excess even if a second bag is light. Sports and musical equipment follow a separate limit of up to 300 linear cm.
LATAM states that bag weights are not cumulative: each piece is judged on its own against 23 kg.

Above 23 kg you pay an extra cost, and the heaviest bag LATAM accepts is 45 kg (99.2 lb) per piece, up to 300 linear cm in size. On flights to, from or via Argentina, Aruba, Cuba, Europe, Oceania, South Africa or Venezuela the cap falls to 32 kg (70.5 lb) per piece. LATAM does not list the excess fee amounts in its FAQ.
| ROUTE | MAX WEIGHT PER BAG | MAX SIZE PER BAG |
|---|---|---|
| Most routes | 45 kg (99.2 lb) | 300 linear cm |
| Argentina, Aruba, Cuba, Europe, Oceania, South Africa, Venezuela | 32 kg (70.5 lb) | Not stated separately |
Sports, musical and audiovisual equipment can weigh up to 45 kg (99.2 lb) per piece and measure up to 300 linear cm. The weight cap drops to 32 kg (70.5 lb) on flights to, from or via Argentina, Aruba, Cuba, Europe, Oceania, South Africa or Venezuela.
The 32 kg cap follows a country list that mixes single destinations like Aruba with whole regions like Europe and Oceania.
