Arrival: Lima Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) and getting into Lima
Arrival is at Lima Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM), and the first decision is how to reach the city. Lima is Peru's coastal capital, known for its colonial centre, clifftop seafront and one of the world's great food scenes. We provide airport transfers in Lima with a driver at arrivals, and we also tell you honestly if the train or metro from the airport is the better choice for where you are staying.
Onward flights or trains from Lima the same day can be added to the booking; let us know and we choose a Santiago to Lima departure that leaves a safe connection.
Baggage, seats and classes on the Santiago to Lima flight
Before you compare the Santiago to Lima flight prices, compare what they carry. A fare with hand luggage only can look cheapest and end up dearer once a bag is added. Haqqi Tours offers the fare that matches your bags: cabin bag only for a short trip, checked bag for a holiday, extra allowance for a long stay. Seat selection, meals and priority boarding are optional extras on many airlines; we tell you which are worth it.
- Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare; children have their own seat and fare
- Meals included on full-service airlines; special meals ordered in advance on request
- Business class: bigger seat, meal, lounge, priority boarding - we send the cost beside economy
- Cabin bag on every fare; checked bag included on full-service fares, optional on low-cost ones
Flying with children, families and groups from Santiago to Lima
Travelling with children? Put the ages on the form: infants and children have different fares and different baggage allowances, and we apply both. Groups - a company, a school, a wedding party - are booked together so everyone sits in the same section and one confirmation covers the whole party. Haqqi Tours also provides the minivans and Sprinters that carry a group between the airport and the hotel at both ends.
Things to do in Lima when you land
Lima is Peru's coastal capital, known for its colonial centre, clifftop seafront and one of the world's great food scenes. Start with Pachacamac, Ballestas Islands, day trip from Paracas and Plaza Mayor and the cathedral, then San Francisco Convent and catacombs and Parque del Amor and the Miraflores malecon. A tip from our desk: Allow one to two hours between the airport and Miraflores at peak times, use a pre-booked car or an official taxi, keep valuables out of sight, and if you continue to Cusco, remember that it sits at about 3,400 m and needs a day to adjust.
Haqqi Tours arranges guided tours, tickets, airport transfers and private drivers in Lima; ask when you book the flight and we send the options.
Best time to fly from Santiago to Lima
Flights from Santiago to Lima run all year, several a day. December to April is warm and sunny, the beach season; May to November brings a grey coastal mist that makes days cooler; Lima is heavy with traffic on weekday mornings and evenings, and the airport road can take an hour or more at peak times. If you can travel outside those weeks the same seat costs less and the airports are quieter. Whatever the month, early booking is the single biggest saving.
Return flight from Lima to Santiago
We book the return leg from Lima to Santiago just as easily, normally on the same ticket. Booking both directions together lets us compare a return fare against two singles - on some airlines the return is much cheaper, on others two one-ways with different carriers win. Tell us the day you want to come back on the form and we send both directions with the cost.
How much is a flight from Santiago to Lima?
The cost of a flight from Santiago to Lima depends on the date, the time of day, the airline, the fare class and how far ahead you book. Airlines sell seats in tiers that rise as the plane fills, so the same seat can cost several times more on a holiday weekend than on a quiet Tuesday. That is why Haqqi Tours does not print a price on this page: we check the live fares for your exact date across every airline on the route and send you the real cost in the WhatsApp chat, with the options side by side.
What the price we send includes: the ticket in the fare class you chose, the taxes and airport charges, the baggage that fare carries, and our service - comparing the airlines, booking, sending the electronic ticket and helping if the flight changes. We tell you clearly if a bag or a seat costs extra on that fare.
Cheapest flight from Santiago to Lima: how to pay less
Finding cheap flights from Santiago to Lima is timing plus flexibility. Here is how Haqqi Tours finds the lowest fare on the route:
- Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are generally cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
- Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
- Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
- Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
- Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
- Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we verify
Send us the form with your dates and we tell you which departure is the cheapest flight from Santiago to Lima that day and what a slightly different day would cost.
