One of our favorite deals is back, this time with more options! Pisco Sours, the ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, exquisite cuisine, and so much more are all waiting to be discovered in Peru. Now, you can get there for a lot less, thanks to this awesome business class deal to the South American country.

Our team has found excellent award availability on nonstop flights from cities around the U.S. to Lima, the Peruvian capital, in business class for just 25,000 miles each way!

While many of Peru’s treasures are found outside the capital, Lima is the international gateway to the country and a city worth exploring thanks to its rich history and incredible food scene. Let’s take a look at the details.

Award Deal — Details

We are seeing solid availability in each direction of travel in the first half of 2025, with some routes flying LATAM’s new lie-flat business class for 50,000 points when booking via Virgin Atlantic Flying Club.

If you don’t have Virgin points, you could book a business class seat on American Airlines for just 25,000 AAdvantage miles, but it won’t be a lie-flat seat.

And if you are really flush with Virgin points, you could spend 80,000 to fly Delta One lie-flat business class.

Alternatively, there are seats for as few as 13,500 miles in the economy cabin.

  • Class: Business
  • Route: Atlanta (ATL), Miami (MIA), and New York (JFK) to Lima (LIM)
  • Cost: From 25,000 American Airlines AAdvantage miles plus $20.60 in taxes and fees
  • Travel Dates: February 2025 to June 2025
  • Award Seats: Up to 4 passengers per route

With up to 4 seats per flight, this is a great opportunity to fly your family to South America in business class — a destination that’s notoriously difficult to find lie-flat availability.

How To Book

If you have some Virgin points sitting around, we’re seeing a bunch of dates available to and from Lima, with up to 4 award seats available per flight!

Here are some quick examples:

  • Atlanta (ATL) to Lima (LIM): 100+ dates available between December 2024 and June 2025
  • New York (JFK) to Lima (LIM): 150+ dates available between December 2024 and June 2025

These prices are fantastic, especially because it is quite easy to earn Virgin points.

Hot Tip:

Wondering when you should use points and when you should pay for a flight? Our transfer partner calculator can do the math for you.

Final Thoughts

Now’s the time to check off some items on your bucket list — like hiking Machu Picchu or dining at one of the world’s top restaurants — thanks to these spectacular business class (and economy) deals to Lima!

Getting to South America for just 25-50,000 miles in business class is a fantastic deal. So if you’re interested, book now and ask questions later. You can always cancel for free!
