I think the terms say they can charge you $180 more if they determine you're not a resident, but as long as you check in online and dont check a bag at the airport, you'll be fine (sometimes even if you had the pay the $180 fee it would still be cheaper). I've flown 8 or 10 resident only fares and never had a problem....printed my boarding pass at home and went straight to the gate.
You can also check availability with Avois, 9k RT.
Thanks for the input. This is Peruvian Airlines that I was looking at and the fare does not mention anything about resident status. Just that it is sold only in Peru.

Sounds like I am good to go, right?
