VIP Lounge for LAN Flyer in MIA??

We are flying on LAN from MIA to LIM next month. I'd like to go to the Lounge before the flight. Where is the nearest Lounge to the LAN Gates at MIA?

"Club America*

Location details: Terminal E, Concourse E

Opening hours: Daily 10:00-22:00

Operated by a third party on behalf of: Iberia, LAN"

It's small, but decent.

this lounge is not airside, so you have to consider that the queues at the security control could be very long and you should not stay in the lounge until the last minute.

So, in other words, is there no VIP Lounge airside for those traveling on LAN from Miami??!! I'd be shocked...

If so, don't you think this is a major oversight on LAN's part considering the large amount of traffic they get from MIA?

First of all, the E Club America is not the one that LAN uses. In fact it is a good 15 minute walk from LANs ticket counters in the new South Terminal (H/J). LAN uses the J Club America, but indeed it is lanside.

As far as why there is not a LAN lounge airside, it is because the H terminal is only LANs home temporarily. They were forced out of A due to construction, but will move back (along with all the OneWorld airlines), once the North Terminal is complete (it will not longer be called A). There is an Admiral's Club and BA Lounge already in A that LAN paxs can use.

MIA lounge...

followup question...
in May I'm flying Lan Peru from NYC connecting via MIA... AA to MIA then LA to LIM... how much time do I need for the connection? I was thinking of staying at the FL in the AA terminal as long as I can...
so how much time should the connection take? It's a MR so I'll only carry my backpack...

From E to H (Lan's current Concourse), should not take more than 10 minutes. Since you are arriving from NYC on AA, you will be able to go to the FL without going through security.

You will have to go through security at J, but there is usually no line at that time of night.

I stand corrected. Sorry, I wasn't paying attention when I copied and pasted!

Thanks.

So, what is the nearest AIRSIDE Lounge (that a LAN passenger can use) to the LAN gates in H/J?

there is no airside lounge in H/J which lan passengers could use.
