I've got two ~6 hour layovers next month in LIM and haven't decided if I should leave the airport yet. I'm assuming that the $30 per person is for each time you leave the airport, not just a one time payment that's good for a certain amount of time? I also have a two day stopover in between the two layovers so that payment should be included in the ticket, I think, and if I don't need to pay anything extra it would make my decision to exit the airport a lot easier. The lounges don't seem terribly interesting to me, but I should have access to all of them.

Aside from the Ramada hotel which contains an expensive, but above average restaurant within the compound walls of the airport property, there is nothing suitable for gringo or seasoned tourists in the immediate surrounding area of the Lima Airport.
If you have additional time, there is excellent food in Miraflores which is about 30 mins away by taxi.

I'm not a gringa or a tourist, so if I were to go and have lunch outside the airport, I'd go to El Grifo (open Mon-Fri 8am-5pm. It's on Faucett 2121, very near the airport). I haven't been there, but I have been meaning to pay it a visit for some time now.
It's the airport's departure fee (which you don't have to pay if you remain in transit). For departing passengers it's included in the ticket.

I know, I know. I went to Tanta a couple of weeks ago and now I keep dreaming of cebiche.
Gonna have to hit the Madrid location here and fuel up!!
It is too bad the catering in the LIM lounges is not representative of the cuisine of the country (at the same level)

Price for Sumaq Lounge
Would anyone know whats the price for purchasing access to the SUMAQ lounge.
We are arriving in Lima at midnight from Easter Island and have a 5 AM departure to Arequipa so will have to spend the hours at the airport and am thinking of buying access to one of the lounges for the duration.
