What are the main airlines inside of Peru? (Opinion about airlines in Peru).

Peru is a country undergoing rapid economic and tourist development, and in recent years has seen exponential growth in its domestic and international air travel.

The long distances between certain destinations, and the geography of the country, often require at least one domestic flight during your trip.

Luggage

Most airlines distinguish three categories of baggage:

Small baggage, a backpack or handbag, which must fit under the seat and whose maximum dimensions are 45 x 35cm x 20cm, 

Hand luggage, with dimensions not exceeding 55 x 35 x 25 and weighing less than 10 kg.

Hold baggage: total dimensions must be less than 158 cm and weigh 23 kg.

Please note that the cost of your ticket depends on the type of baggage you need. The lowest fares simply include the smallest piece. It is therefore advisable to check the airline's website to see what baggage you are entitled to.

Transit

If you're in transit at Lima airport between your international flight and a domestic flight, it's imperative that you collect your baggage and pass through the controls, before rebooking on the domestic flight.

This is the case even if you were told in your home country that your baggage was checked through to your final destination.

Lima airport is one of the few not to offer baggage tracking in transit.

If you fail to comply with this rule, you'll be held solely responsible, and may find your luggage held up at the airport for several days.
