"it worked perfectly for me"
P Meyle (United Kingdom)
✅ Trip Verified | Flew both into, and out of, Lima airport. Arrival was a swift process with immigration taking about 15 minutes and then the bags arrived shortly after. Met my driver and it was a v short walk to the car. Departure was also a breeze: quiet LATAM premium check in and then through security and passport control quickly. Staff were friendly and helpful. The Sumaq lounge was pleasant with good options for food and drink. Boarding was on time. I’m sure the airport could do with some modernisation but it worked perfectly for me.

"reminds me of a bus station"
D Flavell (Italy)
✅ Trip Verified | After many years (since 2007 +/-) I frequent this airport I have seen NO improvement. My last visit was on JAN 2023. Why? - Almost no place to sit unless you are in a restaurant - bad choice of restaurants, even if the food is fine in a very few of them - Crampy and not comfortable bathrooms - No airport WiFi - Complicated and lengthy lines at customs (but here there is another responsibility too). In conclusion: it reminds me of a bus station instead of an airport.

"cannot feel safe at the airport"
A Kawlten (Sweden)
✅ Trip Verified | It was an airport official with a drug dog that sniffed me. He needed to search my backpack. I had a carry on and a backpack but he was only interested in the back pack. He opened it and started to empty it, I had smaller bags with things in it that he didn’t look at. I the back compartment I had my money belt with money that I didn’t wear yet because I was still good my to go through security for a domestic flight. He dove in to the backpack, opened the money belt and took my money into his sleeves. Luckily a face mask got stuck in the zipper so he could only open a small part of it and take some Costa Rican pocket money (was going there after Peru). Terrible that you cannot feel safe at the airport.

"need more staff"
Jessica Castro (Brazil)
Not Verified | It was the worst time lost in an airport queue that I ever experience in my life. It was about two hours to clear customs, a huge queue and just a few employees. I am very hungry now, although I do have money to spend on the airport and I thought I had time for a breaksfast there. But I ended up in a customs queue for two hours. Now I am inside the plane, I needed to run to be on time inside, even though I arrived 3 hours before my flight! You guys need more staff for the number of people in the queue.

"Over two hours to clear customs entering"
G Shaw (United States)
Not Verified | I have never had to give an airport review. This one was so bad I felt the need to alert other travelers. I will never come to Peru again as a result of Lima Airport. Over two hours to clear customs entering. Two and a half hours leaving.

"Worst experience within LA"
Henry Sanders (United States)
Not Verified | Worst experience within LA. Spent 95 mins to go through immigration. No one could guide us through afterwards and luggage took another 30 mins to come out.

"97 minutes to pass immigration"
Denis Holmes (United States)
Not Verified | 97 minutes to pass immigration. No one monitoring the line. Complete chaos. I was then sent to wrong luggage carousel. Twice. Officials kept disappearing from their desks at immigration.

"You can’t find someone to help"
M Gómez (Colombia)
✅ Trip Verified | I can’t believe this airport was considered best in Latin America. It’s so hot in here, it smells badly, it’s not clean, there’s no good facilities. The line of immigration is always ridiculous and there is no order, the WiFi is terrible. You can’t find someone to help. You can’t leave it easily because there is no trustable transport and its chaos outside, tourists feel unsafe even inside the airport.

"by far the worst airport"
Pablo Garcia (United States)
✅ Trip Verified | I’ve traveled all over the world and this is by far the worst airport I’ve ever been at. Let’s say you are traveling from Dallas to Arequipa, via Lima; well, make sure you consider at least four hours (maybe even six just to be safe). You’ll have to take your suitcases, exit the airport, and then check in again (this applies whether you are entering or exiting the country). The lines are endless, and you have to do this two-hour line just to give them your checked suitcases (even if you already have your tickets). But once you finally drop your bags, it isn’t over: you now have to make a new line for security, which is another good one-two hours. Every single time I’ve been here I lost my connecting flights. I’m not sure who was the brainless engineer who designed the system at this airport, but they should probably fire him/her and do it the way is done everywhere else.

"it was four hours too long"
Mike Mains (Canada)
✅ Trip Verified | I don’t ever write airport reviews (or reviews in general for that matter), but I was in transit for 4 hours there and it was four hours too long! I am a model and dietician so I bring my food with me, at any rate you can’t drink the water in Lima and there are no purified taps and your only option is buying a $12 USD 1.5 liter Evian water, that’s insane. As I said I had my meals so I needed some water as I like to stay hydrated but that price for water was by far the biggest scam I have ever seen in my life! I would bring an empty 1.5 liter next time and have them fill it in the plane if I had a layover. Water is essential for human survival, there is not integrity in leaving people with no options but to scam them with a $12USD bottle of water. I could go on but that is enough for now.
