Process to execute

It is allowed to not use flights operated by other airlines, while keeping the flights operated by LATAM. For example:

 

If a TKT is issued with the route SCL-MAD-TLV-MAD-SCL, the passenger can keep the SCL-MAD-SCL flights (operated by LATAM) and leave the MAD-TLV-MAD flights (operated by another airline) unused.

 

- Once the trip is completed, the passenger may request a penalty-free refund for the unused segments.

DO NOT reissue the ticket.

CHANGE is allowed for LATAM  TICKET if it has a separate TKT connecting with a flight to/from TEL AVIV (TLV)

- The refund is subject to the conditions of the purchased fare.

- Confirm that the LATAM ticket has been issued in connection* with a ticket from another airline.

 

- Provide travel alternatives maintaining the route and reissue the ticket as involuntary including the message  TLVOCT23 and the ticket number of the other airline in the endorsement

 

Action is only taken on the LATAM ticket

* A connection corresponds to an  interruption of the journey between origin and destination, in order to change flights, without leaving the airport’s transit area. Usually this is less than 24 hours on international routes and 4 hours on domestic routes.

Additional considerations:

Details:

Customers with cancelled or rescheduled flights may apply for the options established in the LATAM’s protection policy.

 

If the passenger does not have a flight from Israel on their LATAM ticket, they must prove at the airport or through the Contact Center that they are coming from there (showing train/plane tickets/etc.) and may be exempt of penalty fee but subject to availability on the aircraft.

 

(*) Change subject to cabin availability on LATAM flights implies that the travel agent must make the reservation in the original booking class. If the class is not available, the agent must reserve in the lowest booking class available in the same cabin of the LATAM flight and complete the involuntary ticket reissue. In other words, it is no longer necessary to contact the LATAM Sales Support Agent to request the original booking class.

Important:

Changes of date/flight/rerouting apply maintaining the same origin/destination | Change of origin or destination means flying to/from a city different than the one printed on the original flight coupon |  Ancillaries associated to the ticket are subject to changes and/or refund depending on the action taken with the ticket.
