Airline overview
LATAM is South America's largest airline group, flying from hubs in Santiago, Lima, São Paulo, and Bogotá to 166 destinations. The group filed for US Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May 2020 and emerged in 2022; it left oneworld the same month it filed (May 2020) and is now anchored instead by a Delta Air Lines partnership — Delta holds a 10% equity stake alongside an active codeshare agreement. Premium Business on the 787 fleet is a genuine lie-flat reverse-herringbone product with a standout South American wine list.
Founded in 2012, LATAM Airlines is headquartered in Chile/Brazil and operates to 166+ destinations across 80+ countries. The fleet is built around Boeing 787-9, Boeing 787-8, Boeing 777-300ER and Boeing 767-300ER for long-haul operations, with additional narrowbody types on regional routes. LATAM Airlines operates independently of major global alliances, with select bilateral partnerships for codesharing.
The business class experience
LATAM Premium Business features Lie-flat reverse herringbone with direct aisle access (787). Seat width is 22 inches and fully extended bed length is 78 inches — comfortable for passengers up to about 6'3" (190cm) to sleep fully flat. The seat layout on LATAM Airlines's long-haul widebody aircraft typically offers direct aisle access for every business class passenger, so you never have to climb over a seatmate.
In-flight entertainment is delivered via Seatback touchscreen IFE. Dining on LATAM Airlines: South American cuisine, Chilean and Argentine wines. Baggage allowance in business class: 2 × 32kg checked. All flights include amenity kits, premium bedding, and priority boarding/baggage handling.
Lounges and ground experience
At the home hub: LATAM VIP Lounge (SCL/GRU/LIM). At other airports worldwide: Contract lounges at US airports. Lounge access is included with your business class ticket — you show your boarding pass at the lounge entrance and receive food, drinks, WiFi, and dedicated workspaces until boarding time.
On the ground at departure, LATAM Airlines business class passengers get dedicated check-in counters, fast-track security lanes where available, and priority boarding. At arrival, baggage is tagged with priority labels and comes out first — typically saving 15-30 minutes versus economy on heavily-loaded flights.
What travelers say
“Widely regarded as the best choice for South America travel — the network genuinely covers the continent. The 787 product is very good, and the Chilean/Argentine wine selection is a real highlight. Worth knowing the airline's recent history: 2020 Chapter 11 filing and emergence in 2022, oneworld exit the same year, and a now-central Delta Air Lines partnership (10% stake + codeshare) rather than alliance membership.”

LATAM Airlines aircraft we book
LATAM Airlines latam premium business on each aircraft type — cabin product, seat configuration, and route examples.
- Boeing 787-9Boeing
The most-deployed long-haul widebody in current production. Cabin pressurization (~6,000 ft) and humidity (10-15%) better than older 777 metal. Composite fuselage allows larger windows.
- Boeing 787-8Boeing
Original 787 variant — shorter than the -9 and -10. Cabin technology is the same. Many carriers retired or downgraded their -8 fleet in favor of -9 deliveries.
- Boeing 777-300ERBoeing
The dominant long-haul widebody for the past two decades. Most carriers operate two cabin generations on this airframe: older 2-3-2 Business (avoid where possible) and newer 1-2-1 sliding-door cabins (Emirates Game Changer, BA Club Suite, Qatar Qsuite, AA Flagship Suite).
- Boeing 767-300ERBoeing
Older twin-engine widebody. Cabin is significantly narrower than 777 or 787 — Business class typically 2-1-2 or 1-1-1 reverse herringbone (United Polaris, AA Flagship Business).
