Lounge Access in LIM with Business Ticket to JFK?
I am booked on a flight from LIM to JFK in business with LAN Peru (departs a little after midnight on a Monday morning).
With such a ticket would I gain complimentary access to a lounge in LIM airport? The only two lounges I have found online do not seem to be associated with a specific airline...
If I do have access, does anyone know if they have complimentary showers located on site? If I do not have complimentary access, any idea on how much it would cost for a one-time pass?
Thanks in advance.

You will first go to the SUMAQ lounge and show your BP. They have showers. However, if they are full, they'll send you to the VIP lounge down the way. I do not believe that SUMAQ has showers.

SUMAQ has showers,VIP Lounge doesn't but if you get sent to VIP you can ask about using the shower over in SUMAQ. I haven't had any issues using the SUMAQ showers when LAN screws up and fills up SUMAQ when they have a problem with connections and sends the cattle class people to SUMAQ and me (in J) to VIP. The lounge people are usually pretty good about making arrangements if you give them enough time to put you in the shower line.

Lounge Shower Wait
Thank you for all the info guys, really appreciate it!
Given it is a Sunday night, it is probably going to be busy for business travelers. How long do you think the wait could potentially be for showers in the lounge?

If I recall correctly there were two or three showers in Sumaq (pre-rennovation era). I didn't have to wait more than 30 minutes the last time I went through.

GeneralShamu welcome to FT (sorry I missed that earlier)
I've never had more than about a 30 minute wait for a shower without them saying things are slow or there's a long wait. Just to be safe ask when you get to the lounge and they'll get you set up.

Thank you ttuna3 and worldtraveller73, appreciate the info confirm!
As a side note, it's remarkable to see how much some of you have traveled and the status you have built. I am always forced to fly the cheapest route so will have 50,000+ miles this year and elite status on zero airlines.
