Same experience exiting Peru with MigraCheck registration. The line minder just insisted only Peruvian citizens could use the e-Gates and even when I showed him my e-mail registration stating that I "must" use the e-Gates at exit immigration he just shrugged and pointed me to the (thankfully not busy) staffed desks line.

About 40 minutes from arrival at the curb to entering the Club at LIM lounge due to international security delays (2 scanners temporarily offline) without any checked bags.

Less than 30 minutes from Miraflores to the airport at 8am on a Sunday morning.

Separately, as another tip, if flying LATAM, my international flight's gate was posted a good 40 minutes earlier on the mobile app than on the airport departure boards.
