I am thinking of booking domestic LanPass award flights from Lima, outbound early July, inbound end of July. Although the sale covers flights until 16 July, it was still somewhat attractive till about two days ago, when they increased the required number of kms for all flights from 28 July until 10 August (I checked a number of routes, e.g. AQP and CUZ and it seems it applies throughout the country). I understand that 28-29 July is a busy period because of the national holiday, but what about early August? Is it also a busy travel period in Peru?

I am wondering whether to make a reservation now, when the offer is still on at least for the first half of July. Is my assumption correct that once they increased the number of kms for late July/early August, there's no turning back and that they will remain high?

I remember that at the end of April last year they ran an offer on the US website, which involved both LanPass km reduction and 20% discount on the domestic flights in a few South American countries. I can't recall whether late July/early August was a blackout period then though.
Tough to answer. They run a sale every few months, not sure you'll see another within comfortable time frame. Closer to the date costs/km go up generally of course.
