Agreement between Latam and Iberia for frequent flyer programs
Since 2016, LATAM Airlines Group and Iberia – together with their subsidiary Iberia Express – have been working together to offer benefits to their respective frequent flyers. At the beginning of 2026, this partnership takes a decisive step: the two companies will introduce the mutual recognition of the benefits of the LATAM Pass and Iberia Club loyalty programs, in compliance with applicable local regulations.
In practice, LATAM passengers flying with Iberia – and vice versa – will be able to access benefits equivalent to those of their own company, based on the status they hold in the relevant loyalty program. A change designed to make travel between Europe and South America even smoother and more advantageous.
What changes for passengers
Mutual recognition of status translates into a number of concrete benefits throughout the journey:
- priority in the main stages of the airport experience, from check-in to boarding to baggage claim,
- greater comfort, with lounge access and seat selection at no additional cost,
- More flexibility, thanks to the extra baggage allowance valid regardless of the company you are flying with.
Earning points and miles
- LATAM Pass members will continue to earn miles and qualifying points on Iberia flights.
- Iberia Club members will earn Avios and Elite points when travelling with LATAM Airlines.
More value on flights between Europe and Latin America
Frequent Travellers expand their access to premium services, benefits and loyalty rewards. Each trip thus becomes an opportunity to obtain more benefits even when changing companies. In addition, from February 1, 2026, LATAM Pass members will receive – according to their category – an extra mileage bonus on tickets sold by Iberia and operated by LATAM Airlines and its affiliates. For passengers, more comfort, more recognition and more awards, whether flying in Europe or crossing the Atlantic to South America.
