Can you bring baby wipes on a plane with LATAM Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing baby wipes on a LATAM flight

 

You can bring baby wipes when flying with LATAM Airlines. Standard disposable baby wipes (pre-moistened cloths) are allowed both in your carry-on/diaper bag and in checked luggage. They are treated as a solid/household item by airport security and are not normally subject to the 100 ml/3.4 oz liquids rule that applies to liquids, gels and aerosols.

Key points to keep in mind:

• At security, wipes in a sealed or open packet are normally fine and do not need to be placed in a liquids bag.
• If a security officer asks, you can show the wipes or open a packet for inspection; that’s a routine check and nothing to worry about.
• If you carry liquid baby products (for example cleansing water in a bottle, baby lotion, or spray disinfectant wipes), those may be treated as liquids or aerosols and must follow the usual liquid limits for carry-on. Consider packing those in checked baggage or in containers that meet the airport’s liquid rules unless they qualify as medically or infant-necessary items and are declared at screening.
• If you’re traveling internationally or connecting through a country with different security rules, follow the screening instructions at each airport. Local security may request additional checks, so keep the wipes accessible in your carry-on or diaper bag.
• For large quantities of wipes (for example travel-size refills or bulk packs), pack what you need in carry-on for immediate use and place the rest in checked baggage to avoid any questions at security due to volume.

Practical tips for a smooth experience:

• Keep a small pack of wipes in your carry-on/diaper bag for easy access during the flight.
• Place wipes in an outer pocket or at the top of your bag so you can retrieve them quickly at security if asked.
• If you use disposable wipes with alcohol or strong chemicals, read the label—very high alcohol content or flammable ingredients might attract extra attention. When in doubt, pack those items in checked luggage.
• Inform security staff if you also have other infant necessities (breast milk, formula, medicines) since those may have special allowances and screening procedures; this often helps speed up the process.
