I flew from Honolulu, Hawaii to Lima, Peru for only 30,000 American Airlines miles. I had to stopover in DFW & MIA for a few hours but free is free! I was charged a slightly higher air tax than usual but later discovered that it included the departure tax from Lima Airport.

That's excellent. At the moment the whole of August is 70,000 miles on AA if you leave from Sex Prison. Plus, now, a "passenger" fee of $100. Twats.

Suerte!

Frequent travellers may already have this knowledge but for us naifs it may be useful:

Delta has a partnership with Northwest (and may merge), and with Continental airlines. Northwest has a partnership with Continental as well. Continental has a partnership with Copa airlines. Copa is an "associate" with Delta's skyteam alliance.

Which means that you can often persuade any of the above using their frequent flyer miles to get you booked on any of the above flights.

One for instance is that if Delta is offering you a trip from the Sex Prison to Lima for 52,500 miles you can often get onto Continental for 35,000 miles. Another, if Northwest offer you a coach for 70,000 miles you can sometimes get a first class on Copa for the same. (Note that Northwest's South American routes suck and they invariably book you on Delta or Continental "codeshare" flight anyway.)

Worth trying. The collective may not catch up!

Suerte!

Hi,

Just booked a flight to Lima via LAN from Miami nonstop RT for $358.

Am really looking forward to visiting Lima. I am still undecided on where to stay, the Maria-Luisa or an Apart-Hotel. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks, and hope to see you there.

Just returned to Lima from Medellin. At the Maria Luisa for 3 days.

Flights on LAN to Medellin via Quito are still a great value. PM me if you are in town or have suggestions.

Hi Psychman,

Sorry you couldn't come down to the lobby to see Naty and Sara (Tabu's Friends) so that you could add an opinion to Tabu's credibility or the quality of girls he had that day.

My group had the time of our lives- trust me, we were not without...we have a great time with each of us finding our own non pros (meaning, no payment at all), semi pros, and pros..... I will write more later. Thanks to David for introducing us to A and J. I very much loved my couple of hours with sweet 18 year old A- a very nice GFE, who is very coachable..

I normally stay at the San Marten Hotel in Miraflores. They recently raised thier prices, so I'm looking for alternatives.

Can I find a nice apartment or apart-type hotel in this area of Miraflores for @ $50 U.S.? Obviously it needs to be Girl friendly and internet in the room, a/c is not a must now.

Thanks

Generally when booking an hotel always book double occupancy. When booking an apartment always put 2 people in the online form and state that your girlfriend will be staying with you. If they object to overnight guests find a different apartment. Most have internet, rarely A/C (exception apart hotels).

Should be no problem finding what you want at your price point.

In the future you should post in the Hotel thread! Too answer your question, there are loads of apts in the $40-$50 price range. Actually if you stay for a few weeks or months the prices get better. Aparthotels are generally more expensive about $85.00 per night but offer more services and in most cases A/C (in that price range).

It has already gotten cold in (Miraflores) and as it is another La Nina projections are that it will be colder than last winter. I would recommend that you look for a apartment with heat or buy a couple of space heaters when you arrive!
