The new scheme of Latam is to offer options of passages between 20 and 40% cheaper during the year, regardless of the promotions. It will offer four tariff options: Promo, Light, Plus and Top.
Options

At any of these rates the passenger is entitled to carry hand luggage.

The Promo and Light rates do not include hold baggage, so the user will have the option to buy it at rates starting at $ 10.

In Plus and Top , cellar baggage is included and the traveler will be able to purchase additional baggage space if they need it.

This strategy of Latam to attract more passengers arrives at a time when low-cost airlines, called ‘low cost’, land slowly in the region. This type of airlines, consolidated model in Europe, offers cheaper rates in exchange for eliminating many of the services that passengers receive traditional airlines. Latam will also apply its new tariffs in Argentina, Colombia, Peru and Brazil.
