Los Angeles → Lima flights

Budget $310 for LAX–LIM — median fares sit at $309

Key takeaways

• Median fare is $309 across 11 daily snapshots of the cheapest cached prices on this route.
• Floor sits at $290 — that's also the 25th percentile, meaning roughly a quarter of observed fares hit this level or below.
• Top of the range is $347, giving a spread of about 20% from low to high — moderate volatility, worth monitoring before committing.
• The interquartile range runs $290–$325, so targeting anything at or below $310 puts you solidly in the lower half of observed prices.
• Sample size is thin at 11 days — treat these figures as directional, not definitive; a few more weeks of data could shift the picture.

The full picture

Los Angeles to Lima is a roughly 8-hour nonstop haul, and the fare data we have suggests it's not a budget-busting route. The median of $309 is notably tight to the $290 floor, and the 25th percentile lands right at that same $290 mark — meaning when prices dip, they tend to dip decisively rather than gradually. The $347 high represents a 20% premium over the low, which counts as moderate spread: enough to reward patience, but not so volatile that you need to obsessively refresh fares every hour.

For booking timing, the narrow gap between the median ($309) and the bottom quartile ($290) suggests that fares on this route don't spend a lot of time at bargain levels — they either are cheap or they're not. That argues for acting when you spot something at or below $300, rather than waiting for a further drop that may not materialize. Generally on long-haul Latin America routes, the sweet spot tends to be somewhere in the 4-to-8-week booking window, though this dataset doesn't include departure-date metadata to confirm that pattern specifically for LAX–LIM.

No dominant carrier emerged clearly from the snapshot data, so it isn't possible to point to a specific airline as a consistent price leader on this route. What the data does support is a practical target range: if you see a fare under $310, it's at or below the historical median; under $290 and you're capturing what this dataset defines as a genuinely low fare. One honest caveat: with only 11 daily samples, these statistics carry wider uncertainty than a 30-day dataset would. Monitor for a couple of additional weeks if your travel dates are flexible — or book confidently at $300 or below if they aren't.
