LATAM Airlines

Allowed dimensions: 55x35x25 cm · Maximum weight: 12 kg

The context in a few words

LATAM Airlines belongs to the heritage carriers of Aruba, the airlines that grew alongside commercial aviation and now run dense international networks. Carry-on policy reflects that pedigree: roomy allowances, broadly aligned with IATA standards.

Allowed format: 55x35x25 cm, 12 kg. That's generous compared with what most European low-costs publish — a real argument for travellers weighing options.

In concrete terms: a typical "cabin format" suitcase weighs 2–3 kg empty for 55×40×20 cm. On LATAM Airlines, once filled, the usable margin against the 12 kg ceiling shrinks to a few kilos. Frequent travellers tune the bag to exact spec to avoid gate-side reclassification fees.

Tip from the road: on these airlines, the cabin allowance is often paired with a personal item (handbag, laptop bag). Using both tiers properly maximizes capacity without overshooting.

Don't overlook the allowed personal item — it's often the trick that saves a light trip. Handbag, laptop sleeve or small backpack, as long as it slides under the seat in front. On LATAM Airlines, that's where books, headphones, water and flight essentials live without eating into the main carry-on.
