What is the cheapest month to fly to Lima?

On average, April is the cheapest month to fly to Lima, with return fares around £770, and September is another good-value option at about £784. Prices peak in July, when return tickets average around £1,244 because of higher demand. If your travel dates are flexible, shifting your trip into a cheaper month can save you a meaningful amount.

How far in advance should I book a flight to Lima?

To get a below-average price to Lima, aim to book roughly 26 weeks before departure, when fares tend to dip to around £750. Leaving it to the final week is usually the most expensive time to buy, costing about 39% more, as availability tightens. Booking extremely far ahead isn't always cheaper either, so a few weeks to a couple of months out is typically the sweet spot.

What are the most popular airlines flying to Lima?

The most popular airlines flying to Lima are British Airways, Avianca, Virgin Atlantic and Air France, based on how often they appear across searches for this route. Each offers different schedules, baggage allowances and service levels, so it's worth comparing them alongside price. A well-served airline usually means more departure options and easier rebooking if your plans change.

Which airlines provide the cheapest flights to Lima?

Recently, the cheapest return tickets to Lima were found on Iberia (from £750) and British Airways (from £760), with Air France also competitive. The lowest-priced carrier can change from week to week depending on availability and demand. Comparing a few airlines for your exact dates is the best way to secure the cheapest fare.

Which cabin classes are available to Lima?

Flights to Lima are offered in Economy, Premium Economy, Business and First, though availability varies by airline. Economy is the most affordable option (from around £786), while premium cabins cost significantly more in exchange for extra space, baggage and comfort — Business fares start from about £2,804. Choose the cabin that best balances your budget with how much comfort you want on the journey.

How many flights fly to Lima per week?

The most flights to Lima are scheduled on Wednesday (around 7 per day), while Friday has the fewest (around 3) — roughly 26 flights a week in total. Travelling on a busier day gives you more choice of times and, often, better prices. If you can, avoid the quietest days when seats are more limited.

How long is the flight to Lima?

On average, a flight from London to Lima takes around 25h 47m, covering roughly 6,305 miles. Total travel time depends on whether you fly direct or connect, and which UK airport you leave from — from Manchester, for example, it's typically about 21h 30m. Direct services are the fastest, while connecting flights add the length of the layover.

What time do flights to Lima depart?

Flights to Lima depart London from as early as 6:00 AM (arriving 7:25 PM) right through to a latest departure of 10:30 PM (arriving 5:50 PM). That spread lets you choose an early start to make the most of your first day, or a later flight if you'd rather not rush. Exact departure times vary by airline and day, so check the schedule for your specific dates.

What is the rainfall in Lima by month?

February is typically the wettest month in Lima, with around 18 mm of rain, while June is the driest at roughly 0 mm. If you'd rather avoid the wet season, planning your trip around the drier months makes for easier sightseeing. Either way, packing light rain gear for the wetter months is always worth doing.

What is the temperature in Lima by month?

Lima is warmest around April, when temperatures average about 23.9°C, and coolest around September at roughly 18.3°C. If you're chasing warm weather aim for the hotter months; if you prefer milder conditions, the cooler part of the year is more comfortable.

Fares are usually lowest outside the December festive peak. Check the When to book chart above for the cheapest days for your dates.

About flights to Lima

Overview

Lima, Peru's coastal capital, is a sprawling Pacific city that pairs Spanish colonial grandeur with a globally celebrated food scene and a springboard to Machu Picchu and the Andes. Its clifftop Miraflores district, historic centre and world-ranked restaurants make it an essential stop for UK travellers heading to South America — served by Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM). Comparing fares in one place makes finding the right flight to Lima quick and simple.

Best time to fly to Lima

Lima has an unusual desert-coast climate with little rain. The warm, sunny summer runs from December to April, ideal for the coast, while May to November brings cooler, greyer skies with a persistent coastal mist known locally as garúa. If you are continuing to Cusco and Machu Picchu, the dry Andean season (May to September) is best. Fares usually ease outside the festive peak — check the price charts on this page for your dates.

Airlines and routes

British Airways flies direct from London Gatwick to Lima in around 12–13 hours on selected schedules. Reliable connecting routes run with Iberia and Air Europa (via Madrid), KLM (via Amsterdam), Air France (via Paris) and American Airlines (via Miami), serving the UK from London and Manchester. Comparing carriers for your exact dates is the surest way to secure the lowest fare.

Things to do in Lima

Lima blends history, coastline and extraordinary cuisine:

Historic Centre (Plaza Mayor): a UNESCO-listed core of grand cathedrals and balconied mansions.
Miraflores & the Malecón: clifftop parks and ocean views above the Pacific.
Barranco: a bohemian district of street art, galleries and lively bars.
Larco Museum: a superb private collection of pre-Columbian art and ceramics.
Food scene: home to some of the world's best restaurants and the birthplace of ceviche.

At Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM)

Jorge Chávez is Peru's main gateway, in Callao about 12 km north-west of central Lima (roughly 30–45 minutes from Miraflores). Facilities include duty-free shopping, currency exchange, ATMs, lounges and dining. Official airport taxis and pre-booked transfers are the safest way into the city; use authorised desks rather than informal drivers.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Lima

Book roughly 2–5 months ahead — long-haul fares to Peru rise close to departure.
Avoid the December festive peak; the quieter weeks are noticeably cheaper.
Be flexible with dates — midweek departures often beat weekend prices.
Compare direct and one-stop routings; a connection can sometimes cut the cost.

Travel essentials

UK passport holders do not need a visa for tourist stays in Peru of up to 90 days.
If travelling on to Cusco or Machu Picchu, allow time to acclimatise to the altitude.
The local currency is the Peruvian sol (PEN).

Baggage

Baggage & hand-luggage allowance for flights to Lima

Your allowance to Lima depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.

Typical hand and checked baggage allowance by fare type for flights to Lima.
Fare type	Hand baggage	Checked baggage
Basic / Light economy	1 small under-seat bag	Usually none — add for a fee
Standard economy	1 cabin bag + 1 personal item	Typically 1 × 23 kg
Premium economy	1–2 cabin bags + personal item	Typically 2 × 23 kg
Business / First	2 cabin bags + personal item	Typically 2 × 32 kg

Indicative only. Allowances vary by airline, route and fare — always check your airline's baggage policy.

Packing & baggage tips

Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
