  Brachycephalic breeds are ALLOWED in cabin

  Hi, just wanted to let everyone know that Brachycephalic breed are actually allowed in the cabin on LATAM airlines. They are not allowed in cargo. This totally makes sense since the issue is with breathing and traveling in the cabin eliminates that risk. It was a hassle to get the right agent on the line to add my Boston terrier to my flight. I think they were trying to add her as cargo so the system would not allow it. They only post breed restrictions for pets traveling in cargo. I told the customer service this and asked her to look up the rules for pets in cargo. She said the only restrictions are weight and carrier size. She then successfully added my little boston terrier to my flight!
