A Word from the Chef:

El Salon was the only lounge in the domestic departure hall at Lima Airport. It was a Priority Pass lounge, and I absolutely will not arrive early to use this lounge.

Plat Principal:

Once you were admitted, the lounge was just one giant room with different seating arrangements. It was a pretty basic lounge, and what you see is what you get.

There was a small bar and some abysmal food options towards the back of the lounge. Not that I expected much from a domestic Priority Pass loungeā€¦

Digestif:

The cleanliness of the lounge was a bit concerning. We ended up just making a few laps within the concourse area, as it was much more pleasant than sitting in some sticky leather chairs. One redeeming quality of the lounge was that it was never overcrowded, unlike any other lounge in the world these days.
