What Information is Shown in Flight Status
- Scheduled departure & arrival times.
- Real-time updates: delays, early departures, cancellations.
- Gate number & terminal changes.
- Estimated time of arrival (ETA) vs actual arrival.
- Possible route changes or diversions, if applicable.
When to Check Flight Status
- 48 hours before scheduled departure: LATAM’s site becomes reliable for departure/arrival times as itinerary is confirmed.
- Day of departure: Begin checking 2-3 hours beforehand, especially for international flights, or flights during peak times.
- During disruptions (weather, strikes, etc.): Continuous checks are important.
Tips to Ensure Accurate Information
- Always enter the correct flight number or both departure & destination airports.
- Double-check dates: Flight status can be different for same flight number on different days.
- Use the official LATAM source first; third-party sources may lag behind.
- If travelling internationally, check customs/immigration or third party airport delays that may not be shown on airline status.
Common Problems & Solutions
| Issue | Possible Cause | What You Can Do |
|---|---|---|
| Delay | Weather, technical issue, air traffic | Monitor status, contact airline; allow buffer time at airport |
| Gate changed | Last-minute operational adjustments | Verify gate close to boarding time; check airport displays |
| Flight cancelled | Operational constraints or external factors | Check for rebooking options via LATAM’s “My Trips” or contact customer service |
| No status info | Flight too far ahead, system glitches, incomplete data | Use official website, try again closer to travel time |
