Lima, Peru airport
My wife and I will be flying to Lima on Lan Peru, using (AA) miles, in Business Class. In addition, I am an Admiral's Club member. My question, then: Is there an airline club at LIM for which I have eligibility?

I only know of one lounge there - it is a shared lounge, which since LAN uses it, I imagine it is the same one AA uses. You will get an invitiation at check-in. It is a perfectly ok lounge - one caveat - I ordered a drink, and when I ordered the 2d one, I was asked to pay, and told that guests only receive 1 complimentary drink. No one tells you this until you order the next drink. LIM has a new airport, which even if you had to wait w/o lounge in the general area is about 10000% better than what was there a few years ago - the airport was a certified 3d world pit. Now, it is a pleasant place.

Yes, the airport is vastly improved, and yes they charge for the second drink on. When me and my buddy heard this we walked over to the duty free and purchased a bottle of Jack, returned to the club and helped ourselves to as many free cokes as we needed

Thank you Eastbay1K and Russell345. In my case, the second helping (and beyond) is likely to come from the wine purchased in Duty Free.

Since the US "liquids ban" (which was early August, no?) you can't hand-carry liquids onto the plane. Duty Free delivered to the plane is an exception. I haven't tried to buy anything there recently (and was only in the terminal recently on a southbound to Chile flight), but this seems to be the rule with all airports/terminals with flights to the US.
