FAQs - booking Peru flights

  • Are there any hotels at or near LIM?

    If you are exhausted after your red-eye flight to Jorge Chavez International Airport (LIM) and do not wish to head into the downtown area, you can book a room at Costa del Sol Wyndham Lima Aeropuerto. The airport hotel is nestled at the terminal exit. The establishment's night and day rooms feature noise-canceling panels plus complimentary breakfast. Alternatively, the Holiday Inn Lima Airport is roughly eight minutes away by foot.

  • What are the car rental options at LIM?

    Public transportation can be frustrating and exhausting, particularly for visitors with baggage. If you want to discover the Peruvian city without hassle, motor away on a car rental from Jorge Chavez Airport right after you arrive. The car rental kiosks are stationed at the arrivals area, and the car rental garage is adjacent to the terminal. If the car rental counters are not staffed upon arriving, proceed to the garage, where an assistant will attend to you.

  • What are the stopover airports for flights to Alejandro Astete Velasco Airport (CUZ)?

    Passengers with a thirst for adventure should choose flights to Cusco with layovers. Note that stopovers vary based on your origin airport and airline choice. If you depart from New York (JFK) via United Airlines, you will break at George Bush Airport (IAH) in Texas, while LATAM Airlines users stop at Jorge Chavez International Airport (LIM). Passengers departing Los Angeles (LAX) with JetBlue have a stopover at Miami (MIA), while those using Aeromexico Airlines have layovers at LIM and Mexico City (MEX).

  • Does CUZ offer any concierge services?

    Consider scheduling butler services with Airssist if you want first-class airport services. This concierge service will have a dedicated personal assistant ready for you right after you depart your Cusco plane. To make your airport navigation easier, your airport concierge will aid you with fast-track clearances at arrivals, do your personal shopping, purchase your lounge pass, organize your transit, and haul your luggage.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Peru

  • Enter your preferred departure airport and travel dates into the search form above to unlock the latest Peru flight deals.
  • Visitors yearning for luxury while in Alejandro Astete Velasco Airport (CUZ) should visit one of the airport's two lounges. Kuntur VIP Lounge and VIP Lounge Cusco provide many of the same lounge facilities, including complimentary meals and drinks, television, and magazines. Kuntur VIP Lounge is before security, while the VIP Lounge Cusco is located inside the security area.
  • When booking a flight to Peru, be sure to reserve flights landing close to your destination. Globetrotters heading to Lima are likely to book flights to Jorge Chavez Airport (LIM); those heading to Cusco flights to Alejandro Astete Velasco Airport (CUZ), while those heading to Arequipa should use Rodriguez Ballon International Airport (AQP).
  • The airport in Arequipa features a two-story terminal. LATAM Airlines’ information kiosk and check-in desks 1 to 9 are on the right-hand side, ground floor. The arrivals hall, food and drink options, and shops are on the left. Boarding gates 1-4 are on the terminal's first floor.
  • The PromPeru desk on the landside of CUZ offers recommendations to those who would like to explore Cusco so they can make the most out of their visits. These helpful professionals can address any inquiries you have regarding Cusco or Peru in general.
  • Pamper yourself with a massage after an exhausting flight to the airport in Lima. Jorge Chavez Airport hosts a spa on the first floor.
  • As you’re booking your flight to Peru, you’ll have a handful of different destinations to choose from. The capital city of Lima sees most of the international flight traffic from the US, but there are many available flights also serving destinations like Cusco, Iquitos, Juliaca and a handful of others.
  • The most common way to get to Macchu Picchu is to fly to Cusco, then take a train from a nearby village to Aguas Calientes and either trek or catch a shuttle bus to Macchu Picchu.
  • US Dollars are accepted in some of the popular tourist areas in Peru, but you will need the local currency of Soles for smaller businesses and areas outside of large cities like Lima. There are ATMs that accept US bank cards in Peru’s larger cities, where you can obtain Soles for your stay.
  • If you’re heading to Macchu Picchu after spending some time in Lima, the most popular route is by bus. The buses have several stops along the way and enable tourists to hop on and hop off to see a good portion of central Peru in a short amount of time.
  • Aside from the bus to Lima to Cusco, there are few long-distance buses in Peru. There are a handful of destinations that are not accessible by bus or cars altogether. Regional flights can be affordable and are the most convenient way to get around the country.

Airline reviews

I've flown many many times on Northwest and then Delta. The crew on this flight were absolutely the best I've had the pleasure of being looked after by.

10.0 ExcellentAnonymous, May 2024MSP - YVR

I've flown many many times on Northwest and then Delta. The crew on this flight were absolutely the best I've had the pleasure of being looked after by.

Flew first class so everything was great. But maybe because the flights were red eye, no meals were served, just chips. I flew Alaska Air 1st class at 9PM (2 hour flight) and they served beef short rib sliders!

Had to change aircraft due to a faulty door. Surprisingly it only caused about an hour and a half of delay. Delta handled this situation as well as can be expected.

Awful. Flight was continuously getting delayed and gates kept changing without any reason. Flight was delayed for more then 3 hours

Paid premium for Delta only to be on safe but tired old 767 with ancient cabin in mediocre condition. Poor wifi and horrible inflight entertainment. Hardly a premium experience. Should have flown SW and had fun flight crew and no pretense

Our flight to Zurich was delayed by almost 3 hours, so we missed our next flight. There was no indication it would be delayed this much. We were told the gate had changed and then it apparently took over 2 hours to load the "catering" on the plane. We were not compensated in any way for the trouble.

Rated entertainment as Mediocre as there were major problems with the Infotainment system that took probably a half hour for them to fix.

Your crew could maybe answer the call bell at least one of the times I pressed it. I pressed it first time with 2.5 hours left in our flight bc my partner was hungry and wanted a sandwich. We finally got the sandwich with 40 mins left in the flight.

Half the bathrooms assigned to economy were out of action

Delta crushed it. Flight attendant in first was attentive and just never stopped. Honestly one of the best domestic flights I’ve been on.

The seats had plenty of leg room and the staff were very nice.

Copa performed as expected for the amount of money I was willing to spend for the flight; it wasn’t exceptional but it was not bad in any way either. The crew was good; friendly and straightforward. The food was airplane food, so no expectations there and the entertainment was lacking but that was my fault for owning an IPhone with a charging port that’s not compatible with the rest of the world. I’d fly Copa again.

Left my bags in origin city on a business class ticket , spent about 2-3 days in the same clothes plus the flight .

the planes are not modern there are no phone chargers

As usual, the flight with normal legroom was not very comfortable, but the second flight was much better because we had paid for extra legroom. It was very nice to check our bags without an extra fee.

LOCKED MY BAG WITHOUT CONSENT. Had to have my zippers cut upon arrival in Costa Rica.

Pros: "The seats in economy were confortable. The best thing was Copa gave us seats in the second line and my family traveled together."
Cons: "Coffe service could better the experience"
Pros: "Boarding was organized"
Cons: "They didn’t turn on AC until we landed in Lima, during bording they were hurrying people to get on their seats fast"
Pros: "The crew was very interested on help and attentive with the passengers. But the seat wasn't comfortable. The design of the cushion is not the best to be seating"
Pros: "You were on time, that is the most important thing in a fly"
Cons: "You could improve your entertainment, you are not a cheap company"

Everything was as you would expect in coach - fine. Flight was close to on time.

No air in the middle rows. Had a hard time breathing. Was dying of heat.

Not very good, they nickel & dime you for better seats & pay extra for the checking in bag, bad service all the way around

Flight from Lima to São Paulo didn’t have USB plug to charge the cellphone.

It was a good experience, the flight was a little too long & the food was ok

Check in of my luggage which needed to be paid for was excellent. Thanks to Nora

As usual, LATAM tried to rip me off as a Gringo. They ignored the fact that having paid for my assigned seats, I was entitled to one free luggage per person, up to 10kg, and tried to charge me USD40 per item. While they ripped me off by $160 on my outbound flight (4 luggage pieces, which should have been free), I vehemently protested this time around. Note that they only request this from gringos, not from Spanish speakers. LATAM behaves like a racist extortion organization.

This airline is full of junk fees. After paying to get my kids to sit with me, we were asked at the gate to check in our roller bags and pay $40 for each one. Peruvian passengers all took their roller bag in the plane. I don’t appreciate airlines who spot the gringos to tax them more.

Pros: "Nothing as we could not take the flight."
Cons: "Allowing the option to change your ticket date, but failing all debit and credit cards payments offered, actually means that they are not allowing flight changes due to COVID related issues like they say they do. We had to book new tickets with another airline to get home."
Cons: "I needed to change my ticket and Kayak had another agency issue the ticket. Kayak does not change tickets and the third party and the airline said only Kayak could make the change. Having to purchase a whole new ticket from the airline, save the money and frustration and avoid Kayak and just book directly with the airline. The ticket would have and should have been changed with no fees. $325 lesson learned."

No water for a 5 hour flight entertainment not working seats with little room for knees when person in front of me reclined kept bumping my knees.

I don't think anyone actually reads these comments, so I won't spend much time on this submission. If you want to talk, you know how to reach me. The D/FW manager of Avianca (self-identified), Juan Calderon, insisted I buy an onward ticket from San Salvador even though I have diplomatic status in El Salvador and live here. It cost me $1,393 and Mr Calderon would not let me make the ticked flexible so I could get a refund. He went out of his way to be rude to me. He gave me seat 32K -- windowless window seat in the last row and did not offer to let me upgrade even though there were plenty of seats. I have flown well over a million miles in my life and this is the worst experience I have ever had. I would like a refund on the ticket I was forced to buy. Just awful!

This is the Spirit of Latino travel. And don’t even get me started on customer service.

Awful. I checked in online and there was no option to pay for baggage, at the airport when I checked in my baggage was received and Iwas not charged. When I got to LA during the boarding process I was told I didn't pay for baggage, the crew resolved I was let in the plane. When I got to my final destination my baggage was not there. It took me two days to receive my baggage. Bad service ever!

There was no food or drink service, couldn’t even get a glass of water for free. It was a long and expensive flight to not offer food or beverage on the plane.

It is better at the jfk than my home country. It was very easy and everything was on time.

There is no food. There is no in-inflight entertainment. The seats are cardboard. The airline is a living hellscape.

My experience was amazing! They helped my elderly mother board on early through a wheelchair and were accommodating to have us sit together since our seats were in different locations. When landing at the airport in GUA they were very helpful with full of hospitality.

No complimentary snacks food, beverage (not even water), pillow and blanket on a 6 hours long flight (including economy comfort). A low form of nickeling an diming. Lost a recurring passanger over a soda. Avianca never again.

Flight departure late. Got late in Colombia making us take a different flight next day. Avianca airport crew messed up my ticket so when a I got in Brazil I didn’t have a ticket for my destination. Had to buy a new ticket out of my pocket.

There were delays on both ends. It made it less than excellent. This plane was great though

AA1537 the AC was not working properly. It was very hot and uncomfortable.

So uncomfortable to sit in the tiny space on a long, international. Food was rough. Please, less white flour and processed food.

Worst experience flying American Airlines. I fly with them often, so I was super disappointed in the service I received at gate 30 in LGA on May 24, mid-day. The flight was delayed twice. I was patiently waiting in the American Airlines lounge when I received the notice on my app that the plane was boarding 45 minutes before its newly re-scheduled take off of 4 pm (from the orginal 1:45 pm then 3:00 pm). It took me 5 min to travel from the lounge to the gate and when I arrived there at 3:20 flight gate attendant told me the flight had closed and that they announced for passengers multiple times. I showed them the notification on my app and they were really rude and unempathetic. The person who rescheduled my flight at customer service wasn't any happier but was at least helpful in getting me on the next flight.

Flight was 1/2 hour delayed leaving Phoenix. Otherwise it was an average flight. Flight crew on this trip was very nice.

Our flight was delayed 2.5 hrs due to plane being too hot! After 1.5 hrs, airline decided to use another plane but had to wait for gate, baggage transfer & beverage transfer. Anyone could tell after first half hour that another plane was required and although did not affect us many would miss connecting flights at Heathrow. I have found the stewards are not the friendliest in the industry and the food is questionable, even as I like airplane food normally, the best of the 2 flights was the yogurt & granola for breakfast.

Everything was great except for the wifi was junk. Crew was super friendly and helpful

Was lucky to have a employee at the AA checkin counter that had compassion and understood they ordeal that we went through with our original flight being diverted, needing to stay in the aircraft and then flying to the original destination; adding hours to the trip and forcing us to miss our connection and our rebooked connection. She was able to get up on standby on the highest priority on the next flight to the closest airport we need to be at and it all worked out despite being many hours late.

Delayed so that missed connecting flight. Connecting flight was also delayed on the tarmac but they closed the gate before the rescheduled time.

Attendants were rude. Scowling. Seats were miserable and we paid extra.
