What is LATAM Pass?
LATAM Pass is the loyalty program of LATAM Airlines, one of the leading airline groups in Latin America. The program allows members to earn miles through flights with LATAM and partner airlines, as well as through various financial and retail partnerships. These miles can be redeemed for flight tickets, upgrades, and other services. LATAM Pass features multiple membership tiers, including Gold, Platinum, Black, and Black Signature, each offering progressively more benefits such as priority boarding, lounge access, and increased mileage accrual.
Key changes to LATAM Pass in 2025
- Introduction of LATAM Pass Bonuses: Starting January 2025, LATAM Pass introduced a new feature called LATAM Pass Bonuses. This system allows members to unlock additional benefits upon reaching specific Qualifying Points milestones, without affecting their progress toward higher Elite categories. Benefits include extra miles, additional Qualifying Points, free seat selection vouchers, and the ability to earn miles on ancillary services. Members can select their preferred benefits through the LATAM Pass app.
- Discontinuation of Gold Plus Category: As of 2025, the Gold Plus category has been discontinued. The Elite tiers now include Gold, Platinum, Black, and Black Signature. Members can achieve these statuses by accumulating Qualifying Points or through the LATAM Pass Club subscription.
- Earning Miles on Ancillary Services: With the introduction of LATAM Pass Bonuses, members now have the opportunity to earn miles and Qualifying Points when purchasing ancillary services for flights, providing more ways to accumulate rewards.
- Extra Miles for South American Flights: Members can earn 3,000 extra LATAM Pass Miles on their next flight within South America, enhancing the value of regional travel.
- Credit Card Partnerships: LATAM Pass has partnered with financial institutions to offer co-branded credit cards, allowing members to earn up to 60,000 bonus miles through promotional offers. These cards provide additional avenues to accumulate miles through everyday spending.
How many LATAM Pass miles for a flight?
LATAM Pass utilizes a dynamic award pricing system, meaning the number of miles required for a flight redemption varies based on factors such as route, demand, and booking time. While specific mileage requirements can fluctuate, members can generally expect the following ranges:
Cabin Class | Short-Haul Flight (Miles) | Long-Haul Flight (Miles) |
---|---|---|
Economy | 6,000 - 25,000 | 30,000 - 70,000 |
Premium Economy | 12,000 - 35,000 | 45,000 - 90,000 |
Business | 20,000 - 50,000 | 60,000 - 150,000 |
How much are LATAM Pass miles worth?
The value of LATAM Pass miles can vary depending on how you use them. However, the reference value (based on the direct purchase price) is USD 0.032 per mile. This value can serve as a starting point to evaluate whether a redemption is appropriate. For example, if a flight costs 50,000 miles, its estimated value would be USD 1,600 (50,000 x 0.032). If the cash price of the same flight is lower, it may be more convenient to pay with cash.
Strategies to maximize the value of your LATAM Pass miles
- Redemptions in Business or Premium Economy cabin: These typically offer a higher value per mile, especially on long-haul routes.
- Redemption promotions: LATAM Pass frequently offers mileage discounts for certain destinations or seasons.
- Miles + Cash: This option allows you to combine miles and cash, which can be useful if you don't have enough miles for a full redemption.
- Avoid low-value redemptions: Using miles for low-cost products or additional services may not be the best option in terms of value per mile.
To get the maximum benefit, it's a good idea to compare the cash value of the product or service with the number of miles required for the redemption.
