Lima Peru Airport Lounge
 
I have a long layover in Lima (approx. 9 hours) on my way back to the U.S. I am traveling economy but belong to United Red Carpet Club. Is anyone aware whether the VIP Lounge at the Lima Airport has a reciprocity agreement with United for use of the club. United has not been very helpful on this issue.

Thanks for any experience anyone has had.

Continental always flew to Lima. I take it United now has taken over the route?

I think the strict answer to our question is there's no automatic access to the lounge based on your membership in another airline's club. You need to get a pass when you check in for your flight. Whether the counter agent will say you're eligible, I don't know. I would E-mail or call the lounge using the link above to see what the story is.

We entered the Lima lounge based on my status with CO. Since United and COntinental are now the sharing access to all their lounges, I don't know why they'd turn you away.

I take back that last post...We flew first class, so it may have been that we were first class, or it may have been my Platinum status. I can't remember. It's a pretty crowded lounge, but the bartender is excellent and they had decent snacks. Not a huge variety of foods, though.
