Can you bring a pack and play on a plane with LATAM Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Can I bring a pack and play on LATAM when traveling with a baby?

 

Short answer: Usually yes. Airlines, including LATAM, commonly accept a pack‑and‑play (portable playard/crib) as checked or gate‑checked baby equipment, but policies can vary by route and fare—so confirm with LATAM before travel.

  • Check allowance: Look up the infant/baby baggage allowance on your booking or call LATAM to confirm whether the pack‑and‑play is exempt from regular baggage fees.
  • Measure and weigh: Make sure its dimensions and weight meet LATAM’s checked‑baggage rules if it won’t be gate‑checked.
  • Gate‑check when possible: If it collapses, ask to gate‑check it at boarding so you can use it in the airport and retrieve it at the aircraft door on arrival.
  • Protect it: Use a travel bag or wrap it to avoid damage when checked.
  • Arrive early: Allow extra time at check‑in to tag and arrange gate‑check if needed.

If you want, I can draft a short script to use when calling LATAM or check typical dimensions that might cause problems—tell me the pack‑and‑play model or size.
