LATAM Pass
IndependentHUBSSCL · GRU · LIM · BOGLast reviewed May 2026
LATAM Pass is the loyalty program of LATAM Airlines Group, the largest airline group in Latin America with about 340 aircraft across hubs in Santiago, Sao Paulo, Lima, and Bogota. LATAM left oneworld in 2020 and is not currently a member of any alliance. Its joint venture with Delta and Aeromexico continues. Eligible Delta and Aeromexico flights earn Qualifying Points. Other partner earning depends on the airline, marketing carrier and fare.
For US travelers, LATAM Pass is a niche currency. There is no Amex MR or Chase UR transfer relationship, and Capital One does not list LATAM as a transfer partner. Marriott Bonvoy 3:1 is the most reliable bridge in. Choice and Accor also transfer to LATAM Pass. Own-metal awards moved to dynamic pricing years ago, capping per-point value at a low level. Treat LATAM Pass as a transfer target of last resort unless you have a specific Delta partner play in mind.

Where this currency genuinely shines.
- Delta US domestic by phone via LATAM Pass - per-sector pricing can occasionally beat Delta SkyMiles dynamic pricing.
- Off-peak own-metal South America economy - rare but possible, though at modest value.
- Marriott Bonvoy 3:1 transfer as the most reliable US bridge in.
- 36-month expiry from earn (rolling) is moderately generous.
