This chapter takes into consideration information regarding bookings, fares and issuance for Infant passengers (INF) and Minors (CHD).

Each type of passenger corresponds to:

SSR TEEN

Minors (between ages 12 and 17) traveling by themselves must be identified in the system with the code SSR TEEN on all LATAM flights.

The SSR TEEN must be entered at the time of ticket purchase or later if a minor between 12 and 17 years is traveling alone* without an optional UMNR service.

In these cases the Travel Agent must contact their Support in order to them insert the SSR element in the PNR.

* Also applies to school or other groups that travel accompanied to a guide person, such as Study Tours.

Double discount considerations

From April 15, 2021, The discount for Minors (CHD/INF) is now authorized if allowed by the applicable fare regulation for fares especially negotiated to meet market needs (e.g. fares for Tour Operators, net private fares, CAT, etc.) and is not subject to any penalty due to double discount for CHD passengers. With the negotiated fare, minor passengers must be ticketed applying the discount with the code CHD/INF next to the passenger’s name on the ticket.
Important note: Double discount for group reservation is not allowed.

All children between the ages of 2 and 12 years minus one day are considered minors(CHD); the age applies on the date of departure

General Considerations

• Passengers over 18 have no restrictions on the amount of minors under their responsibility. This applies for all LATAM domestic and international routes.
• Special meal services for children (CHML) must be requested on the booking; otherwise the child will receive an adult meal.
• There are articles for the comfort of minor passengers that might be transported in the aircraft cabin
  
• All minors between 8 and 11 years old must travel with an adult companion (over 18 years old) or emancipated adolescent* in the same or different cabin on the aircraft (if travelling with one of his or her parents the accompanying minor can be under 18).
• If the minor is travelling alone he or she must travel under the conditions stipulated for Unaccompanied Minor (UMNR).

CHD passengers cannot be seated in emergency exit rows. They must be seated next to an adult in the family group (in a seat immediately next to the responsible adult), always in the same row.

Airbelt seats cannot be assigned to:

• The fare applicable to a CHD passenger corresponds to a percentage of the adult fare and may vary depending on the route and corresponding class. This is reflected in the fare regulation.
• The fare applies on the first date of travel, i.e. it applies to the entire trip regardless of whether the child may turn 12 during the trip.
• There is no discount in Premium Cabins.

Minors  (between the ages of 8 and 11 years minus one day) travelling on LATAM flights with their parents or responsible adult on different cabins are considered for all intents and purposes accompanied minors (UMNR does not apply). However, to facilitate boarding procedures certain considerations have been established: The bookings of the minors must have an SSR CKIN with the PNR code of the responsible adult. Example: SSR CKIN MINOR TRAVELING WITH ADULT PNR XXXXX.
