Before you pack
2 points
- Confirm the exact route-based fee before flying since it differs by country pair, not by a single global rate.
- Pack the kite, bar, harness and board together as one bag to fit LATAM's single 'kitesurf equipment' definition instead of paying for multiple special items.
What riders report at the counter
2 reports
- Gate agents do not reliably know LATAM's kiteboard and board-bag fees — on return legs they are sometimes unsure of their own airline's rate.
- Region-specific fee exceptions on LATAM often surface only at the check-in counter, not at booking.
