:: In-Transit Passengers
When deplaning, those passengers who are in transit or who have connections to other international flights must walk through the hall of international arrivals, go down to the first level and, without entering the immigration control area, return to the international terminal; otherwise, they will lose their in-transit/ connecting passenger status. We recommend that passengers contact airline personnel when their flight arrives.

Those passengers whose final destination is Peru must go to the Immigration area and present a completed country entry form or Andean Immigration Card (provided on board the aircraft by airline personnel), as well as their passports or identity documents.
