Plus explain to us how come the runway repairs mean that only half the immigration desks can be manned.
Go and have a lie down and a Trujillana
Yes, that comment about 1/2 the desks being manned surprised me, not my experience. Been thru LIM about 20 times international and 30 times domestics this year. It can get busy at peak times, but when the crowds form more agents seem to appear magically, now and BC (before construction jeje). But for sure, the congestion of flights before the runways close and after they open is quite evident and is clearly a current problem. Explain to me how this constriction of flights would not cause problems?
In my experience (or good luck) wait time at inmigraciones averages 10 minutes or less. I am generally at the luggage belt before it cranks on and that after a washroom stop to put on the hidden money belts etc. Hope I haven't jinxed myself by saying that, I have a bad arrival time in Jan.
FT tip: get over to the right hand side desks, there 2 agents look after one line.
ps Trujillana? Quiz: which Peruvian city has produced the most Miss Peru and Miss World contestants? Hint: starts with Ferreņafe
