LATAM allows passengers to bring 2 items on-board the aircraft: one 10 kg standard carry-on suitcase, and one smaller personal item (small backpack or purse). This applies to all passengers except "Basic" Fare passengers, for whom only a small personal item is allowed.
The maximum weight for your standard carry-on suitcase is 10 kg (22 lb) in Economy Clas and 16 kg (35 lb) in Premium Economy or Premium Business. If you’re flying in Economy Class on a route with it’s origin and/or destination in Brazil, the maximum weight is 10 kilos. [AMZ asins='B00LB7REFK,B082K8ZNQ1,B07ZWLQF9T,B00NW62PCA']
The maximum dimensions are 21 in (55 cm) x 13 in (35 cm) x 9 in (25 cm) (height, width and depth), including the pockets, wheels and handle.
Paying for a Carry-On Bag on LATAM "Basic" Flights
If you are flying on a LATAM "Basic" ticket that does not include a standard-sized carry-on bag allowance, you may add a 10 kg carry-on bag allowance either online or at the airport. It is cheaper to purchase your carry-on allowance earlier rather than later. Please see the prices below:

Gate-Checking of Hand Luggage on LATAM Flights
If your carry-on bag meets the size requirements but there is no room on board, it will be gate-checked free of charge. If your carry-on bag exceeds the size/weight restrictions, you will be able to gate-check the bag for the same fees as those listed above.
You can also put one personal item under the seat in front of you (except in emergency exit rows seats and front rows), such as:
A purse.
A laptop bag.
A diaper bag.
Maximum personal item dimensions are 18 in (45 cm) x 14 in (35 cm) x 8 in (20 cm) (length, height and width). If your fare does not include a carry-on allowance, may still bring this small personal item free of charge.
All LATAM checked bags are limited in size and weight as follows:
LATAM Checked Bag Size Limit: 158 cm / 62 Inches Linear Dimensions (width + height + length)
LATAM Checked Bag Weight Limit: 23kg/50lbs
Please note, LATAM has reduced the number of free checked bags on many routes, and will be charging for all checked bags including the first bag on most flights within South America. Some international routes still include 1 or 2 free checked bags, depending on the origin/destination.
In 2023, LATAM offers a lower 15 Kg Checked Bag option on some routes, so when adding a bag, be sure to check whether you are adding the small 15 Kg option or a standard 23 Kg bag.
As with most airlines, it is cheapest to purchase your luggage ahead of time (minimum 6 hours before your flight), otherwise the price of baggage will be much more expensive. Please note the increased prices for 2023. When prices are given in USD, they will be converted to the local currency on the date of the transaction.
