On this page, you’ll find a clear overview of LATAM’s different fare types. This information is essential to help you confidently guide your customers, choose the most suitable fare for each need, and avoid misunderstandings during the sales process. |
There are 2 types of published fares:
| IATA | CARRIER |
|---|---|
Fares published by the industry and agreed upon during traffic conferences that may be sold by all IATA carriers. |
Specific fares published by a particular carrier, which usually limit sales to this carrier. |
All IATA and "CARRIER" fares displayed in an itinerary can be sold only when LATAM participates in the itinerary and there is no published LATAM fare for the origin-destination. All regulations must be observed and tickets may only be issued for carriers with which an interline agreement (MITA) is in place.
All domestic and international LATAM routes are sold under the Branded Fares concept.
Selling by Branded Fares allows to passengers to choose if they require a ticket that has certain benefits incorporated (attributes). However, if a passenger does not acquire it in his purchase, s/he may do so later, this being an additional and optional service to the purchase of his air ticket.
If what you need is the details of the attributes and benefits of each family/cabin, access the ticket route agreement below:
These are special fares created by the company to be viewed and sold by specific Travel Agencies and/or specific operators.
Independently of the private fares that exist in each market, it should be taken into account that any fare issued with account code is also considered a private fare.
Consider that in Colombia, private fares are available only for sales in conjunction with land programs.
Example of a private fare:

For those POS or classes that require the possession of LATAM international ticket, the must comply with the following:
In the Endorsements/Restrictions field for ticket issues of LATAM Airpass (SAA) must include the correct LATAM ticket number of the Long Haul trip. Example: NONEND NONREF CHG FEE APPLIES CONX 0451233089775
