This post is actually about a year old, so I already took the trip. We ended up flying LAN from LAX to Lima and had a great experience the whole time. Thanks for all the recommendations!

I have to make at least one stop because there is no NON STOP flights to Lima from SLC. So where are you flying from? -If you flight from ATL then your best option is a non stop flight with Delta. -If you flight from Texas then probably your best option is a non stop flight with Continental - If you flight from LAX then LAN is problably your best option with a non stop flight to Lima... but this flight could be a little too long... it's about 9 hours long..(that's TOO much for me) If you flight from MIA then you may want to flight with AA or there is a new airline that files from FLL to LIMA for cheap, it is called SPIRIT AIRLINES, (not the most comfortable one but definitely the best price) or LAN (which gives one of the best services to Latin America) has a non stop flight to Lima too If you flight from JFK I would definitely NOT take a non stop flight to lima.... i did it once... and i will never do it again... 11and a half hours in a plane is just TOO MUCH for me... i was going NUTS! Non stop flights from MIA, ATL AND TEXAS take about 6 hours and i strongly recommend them. LAN gives the best service to South America, Spirit Airlines is the cheapest one to lima from FLL. Delta has good deals from ATL, so it's up to you! I fly to Peru two or three times a year, I flight from SLC each time.

We were both impressed with the comfort and the service after suffering through Continental. I'm going to Lima in July, and plan to use them again if their price is competitive.

I flew them last december, via El Salvador. The aircraft was pretty new, but it is no-frills carrier, and I got a good price. I actually bought a ticket to Sao Paulo, and got a free layover for 3 days in Lima, for around $800 with taxes. How about TACA? I flew them last december, via El Salvador.

The chance to spot in El Dorado International Airport is probably worth it. Coincidentally, I am planning a trip myself to the Sacred Valley, from May 10-20, 2008. Since I will be coming from Buffalo, my choices are limited, but if my friend who resides in New York City chooses to join me, then I might hop over to New York City and take Avianca instead of going on a US carrier straight from Buffalo. AV's schedules from JFK to LIM via BOG provides a 9-hour lay-over (there is a shorter one, but is way too short for comfort, which is 30 minutes), so I might as well get out of the airport and do some sight-seeing in La Candelaria and visit the Museo del Oro in Bogota. Besides, I would have to stay overnight in Lima anyways since all flights to Cusco leave only in the mornings, so there's no point in rushing to Lima. I’d say Avianca.
