Start with Google Flights — enter "LIM" and use the calendar view to find the cheapest travel dates. Then cross-check on Skyscanner and the Kiwi.com widget on this page. Each platform sources different fares, and the cheapest one changes depending on the route, date, and airline.
If your dates are flexible, try searching a 3-day window around your preferred departure — fares to Lima can vary by 20–30% between adjacent days. Set price alerts on 2–3 platforms and give it a week before committing, unless you spot an unusually low fare worth locking in immediately.
Use these rankings to narrow your options, then compare 2–3 finalists on your actual dates and route. Performance varies by corridor, season, and aircraft — a carrier that tops our rankings may not be the best on every single flight.
If you are deciding between two closely ranked options, go with whichever has the more generous change and cancellation policy. Travel plans shift, and flexibility has real value that does not show up in a ranking score.
Rankings shift as airlines update their products and new competitors enter the market. We refresh this list regularly, but always cross-reference with recent reviews if you are making a significant booking — a carrier may have upgraded (or downgraded) its service since our last update.
