Jorge Chávez International Airport

The airport uses a single central passenger terminal that contains both international and domestic operations under one roof; check‑in, security and passport control are arranged in the central hall with gates in adjoining concourses. Airlines operate from assigned check‑in zones and gates within the same building - connections between domestic and international flights are handled airside where possible.

Because there is one main terminal, passengers move between check‑in, security and gates on foot; internal signage is clear and transfer times are generally short, though peak hours can add walking time between distant gates.

Main transport options are taxi/ride‑share, private shuttle or car; the airport sits in Callao roughly 10-15 km from central Lima, and typical travel time to Miraflores or the historic centre is 30-60 minutes depending on traffic.

• Taxis / official airport taxis: Use the prepay taxi booths in arrivals for fixed fares and a printed voucher; journey to central Lima is commonly S/25-60 (approximate) and 30-60 minutes depending on traffic.
• Ride‑share: Apps such as Uber, Beat and Cabify operate in Lima and can pick up/drop off at the airport; fares vary by demand but are often similar to official taxis.
• Airport shuttle / private transfers: Many hotels and private companies offer prepaid shared or private shuttles - prebooking is recommended for early or late flights.
• Public buses and local colectivos: Local buses serve Callao and nearby districts but require transfers and are less convenient with luggage; expect longer travel times and variable comfort.
• Driving: From central Lima the distance is about 10-15 km; allow ample extra time during morning and evening peaks.

Jorge Chávez offers a compact set of passenger facilities for international and domestic travelers. The terminal includes lounges, retail and dining options, free Wi‑Fi (may require registration), charging points and services for passengers with reduced mobility.

• Lounges: There are airline and pay‑per‑use lounges airside, including LATAM’s lounge; access depends on class of travel, status or paid entry.
• Food & drink: A mix of sit‑down restaurants, cafés and fast‑food outlets are available both landside and airside; most services are concentrated around the main concourse and departure areas.
• Wi‑Fi: Free Wi‑Fi is available in the terminal but often requires a short registration and may have session limits.
• Charging: Charging points and power outlets are available in gate areas and some seating zones; availability may vary by gate.
• Luggage storage & showers: Short‑term luggage storage and pay showers are not consistently available at all times; if essential, check with airline desks or the airport information counters on arrival.
• Accessibility: The terminal provides ramps, elevators and assistance for passengers with reduced mobility; request support from your airline in advance.

Accommodation close to the airport is limited but convenient. There is at least one international-brand hotel adjacent to the terminal and several options within a short drive; many provide airport shuttles.

• Costa del Sol Wyndham Lima Airport - adjacent to the airport, typically a 5-10 minute drive with hotel shuttle; recommended for early departures or late arrivals. wyndhamhotels.com
