Intl to Domestic connection in LIM and baggage
I'm flying PHL-MIA-LIM-CUZ next week. All on one single AA ticket with AA flight numbers. The first two flights are on AA metal, and the last flight is on LA metal. I have an overnight connection in LIM before flying to CUZ on LA. I understand that AA generally won't short-check my bags to LIM. Two questions:
1. Is this like the US, where I will get my bags in LIM, clear customs, then have to recheck my bags?
2. I'm planning on storing most of my luggage when I arrive in LIM at left luggage for a couple days while I'm in CUZ and collecting it when I return to LIM. Does anyone foresee a problem with this?
Thanks!

You will collect your bags in Lima, clear customs, and exit land-side, so short-checking won't be an issue.
Where are you planning on storing your bags? AFAIK, there are no facilities to do this at the airport.

Thank you for this. I was under the impression that there is a left luggage desk at LIM. The below is copied from a webpage I came across. Is this facility no longer there?
Left Luggage (Luggage Storage, Lockers & Facilities)
The left luggage (luggage storage) at the Lima International Airport is located in the domestic arrivals area. It is opened 24 hours and costs S/. 24.00 (Peruvian Soles) per day (24 hours) and S/. 4.00 per hour and piece of luggage. Big items (like surf boards) set you back with S/. 8.00 per hour. The service has to be paid in cash (no credit cards are accepted for this service), but payment can be made in US$ or Peruvian Soles.
Left Luggage Price per piece: S/. 4.00 per hour - S/. 24.00 per day
Additionally you have the option to store smaller luggage pieces in lockers. A locker costs S/. 38 per day (24 hours) or S/. 8 per hour for all you can fit in. The dimensions of the lockers are 45 cm (wide) x 60 cm (long) x 75 cm (high).
Left Luggage Price in a locker: S/. 8.00 per hour - S/. 38.00 per day
Please note that discounts are offered for the storage of lots of luggage or for the storage for an expanded period of time.

A number of sources reflect the left luggage in the Domestic Arrivals, and I suspect they’d store the baggage at the adjacent Costa Del Sol Wyndham hotel on the airport grounds (it’s a Wyndham, but I’ve used it for overnight connections because it’s convenient and clean).
I often refer to sleepinginairports.net for airport information. LIM https://www.sleepinginairports.net/g...port-guide.htm

This is from the official airport website:
https://www.lima-airport.com/eng/for...age-protection
And apparently it is right outside international arrivals
One would hope that the official airport website has current and correct info.
Personally, I have never used the service.
