Domestic to international transfer
Leaving CUZ tomorrow at 715 am, then 152 pm on to PTY on Copa. Bags should check to PTY since the same ticket. If I leave the airport for a bit to go to la punta what time should I get back to the airport for security and immigration?

Depending on the time of the day, you can go through security and immigration in a breeze. If you have no bags/children, I would suggest 1.5 to 2h before your flight. Just make sure to have your forms ready (the form you presented upon entry? Make sure you have the lower part that was ripped off).
Have a nice trip!
PS: La Punta is relatively close to the airport, so it should take you 20-30 mins to get there.

Avianca would only check bags to Lima. So I had to pick up recheck bags at the Copa desk. Seems unnecessary but Lima airport rules I guess

Security+immigration-wise, I usually go through between 9:30-10:30pm, and I can take AT MOST 10 minutes. However, coming INTO Peru, it took about 45mins last time. But going out of has always been like a breeze.
