Sports baggage
To travel with your sports equipment, you must pack it properly, as described for each item below, to avoid damaging it during the trip. If you need to transport very large items that cannot be transported as baggage (such as kayaks, canoes and paddles, hang gliders and poles), you can do so via LATAM Cargo.
Important: From April 5, 2024, every golf, Wakeboard, Bodyboard, Boogie Board and Snowboard equipment will be transported as checked baggage weighing no more than 23 kg. Thus, you no longer need to purchase special baggage for transporting these equipments on flights from this date on. However, you must have a 23 kg piece of baggage available in order to transport these equipments or purchase an additional 23 kg piece of baggage. Special baggage purchased before April 5, 2024, will not be refunded.
