How does a same-day flight change work with LATAM?
The service is available through LATAM’s website, app and airport offices; its published description uses a market-dependent service charge without an additional replacement-flight fare difference. The trip must still fit the service’s route and connection rules. You cannot simply replace a connecting itinerary with a nonstop one. The policy includes a specific exception for airports serving the same city, so have any airport substitution checked rather than assuming all airports are interchangeable. The change applies to all passengers in the reservation. Eligibility also depends on baggage and services. LATAM lists exclusions for purchased baggage, baggage already checked on the original flight, special services, other-airline flights and group bookings. Check this before going to the airport expecting an automatic switch. Ask which flights are actually available and which request deadline applies to your channel and route. Confirm the new itinerary and seat after the transaction. A change to a different calendar date is assessed under ordinary fare rules instead.
Important unknowns
