How to book cheap flights to Lima

Book your flight 3 to 5 months in advance to secure the best rates to Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM). Use Google Flights with price tracking enabled, and prioritize flying mid-week on Tuesdays or Wednesdays to save up to 20% on your fare.

  1. Set up price tracking. Go to Google Flights, enter your home city and Lima (LIM), and toggle the 'Track prices' button. Set this up at least 4 months before your intended travel dates to get email alerts when prices drop.
  2. Use the calendar view. Click on the departure date box in Google Flights to reveal the price calendar. Look for green-colored dates, which indicate the lowest fares for the month. Often, shifting your travel by just two days can save you $150 or more.
  3. Consider indirect routes. If flying from North America or Europe, check flights to major hubs like Miami, Bogota, or Panama City first. Sometimes booking a separate flight from these hubs to Lima is significantly cheaper than a single ticket from your origin.
  4. Check regional carriers. Once you have a baseline price, check the websites of regional airlines like LATAM or SKY Airline directly. They occasionally offer 'web-only' discounts that don't show up on aggregators.
