LATAM Airlines offers passengers multiple convenient check-in options to suit different travel needs. The process varies slightly depending on your route and departure airport, but follows consistent guidelines across their network in South America and international destinations.

Online Check-In opens 48 hours before departure for most flights and remains available until 1 hour before scheduled flight time for domestic routes and 90 minutes for international flights. This service can be accessed through LATAM's official website or mobile app by entering your booking code and last name. During online check-in, passengers can select seats (within fare conditions), add frequent flyer information, and download mobile boarding passes. Those traveling with only carry-on luggage can proceed directly to security, while passengers with checked baggage must still visit airport drop-off counters.

Airport Check-In counters typically open 3 hours before departure for international flights and 2 hours for domestic routes within South America. At major airports like So Paulo-Guarulhos (GRU) and Santiago (SCL), self-service kiosks are available for faster processing. Premium Business passengers and LATAM Pass elite members enjoy access to priority check-in lanes.

For baggage, LATAM enforces strict deadlines:
- Checked bags must be received 60 minutes before departure for domestic flights
- 90 minutes before departure for international flights
- 45 minutes before departure for regional flights within South America

LATAM recommends arriving at the airport:
- 3 hours before international flights
- 2 hours before domestic flights
- Additional time during peak travel periods

Special Circumstances:
1. Unaccompanied minors must check in at airport counters
2. Passengers traveling with pets need additional documentation
3. Oversized items (sports equipment, musical instruments) require early check-in
4. International flights may require passport verification at counters

Mobile boarding passes are accepted at most airports, though some destinations may require printed documents. Always verify specific requirements for your route before traveling. LATAM's check-in system balances efficiency with necessary security protocols, ensuring a smooth start to your journey across their extensive South American network and beyond.
