Lima International Airport
Lasting Impressions....
"Cleaning staff helpfully woke me several times to ensure i'd not miss my flight" (Heather)
"The bottom line: you're going to have a long layover in a nice airport that is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to sleep in." (?)
"We asked one of the workers about where "those crazy people that sleep in the food court" tend to congregate. They laughed and pointed straight across from them to the glass walls lining the largest section of the dining area of the food court." (?)
Good times

I have slept dozens of times in the Lima airport. Not the easiest, but not impossible! If you want to keep total access to food, sleep at the little sit down restaurant cafe. I can sleep in a chair and they will ask for a wake up time to help. If you are exhausted and just want to crash, go ahead and check in and go through security. You can usually do this quite a lot beforehand. At the gates downstairs, there are backed benches with no arms that are quite comfortable and I fall so deeply asleep I've nearly missed flights! Announcements are awful so bring headphones.

Not a bad place, but not great either

We spent 20 hours in the in transit area which included a night. Luckily, we made friends with the waiters of the smoking lounge and they let us sleep in the couches there. Though the noise was somewhat bothering, we had a great night.The borrowed blankets from the previous night were helpful. The waiters even gave us a free coffee for breakfast.
During the day we were about to die of boredom (the shopping area is really small) we found a sudoku book and a novel to be life savers.
Um, you may want to rethink sleeping in this place

"We had a 6 hour transit in Lima in the night and barely made it to the hotel to sleep for four hours before being back there again. On the way back we had a 10 hour daytime transit in Lima which was much better. Make a day of it.Get a cab to the shopping centre Largo Mar in Miraflores. Do not pay more than US10 (s/25). Have a full buffet meal at Mangos for s/40 then play a round of ten-pin bowling before heading back to Lima Airport."
