LATAM Pass is the frequent flyer program for LATAM, and it’s free to join. Whereas points are primarily earned by flying with LATAM, they can also be acquired by spending nights in certain hotels, such as Hyatt and Starwood, or by booking car rentals. Unlike other loyalty programmes, you can’t earn miles by spending with selected credit cards.

Points can be redeemed in several ways, including on airfare, cabin upgrades or holiday services. However, as with most frequent flyer programmes, buying flights generally represents the best value for money.

Passengers who spend enough time in the air with LATAM can gain elite status. This is done in one of two ways, either by flying a certain number of qualifying segments, or racking up qualifying points, which can only be earned by spending money on airfare with LATAM. There are five tiers to the elite status, each providing progressively better perks and benefits, such as free upgrades and lounge access.
