Peru Lima to Mexico City 2022 Flight
I had booked the flight from Lima to Peru a few weeks before leaving, upon arrival at the gate the flight attendant told me that I would not be allowed to get on the plane if I did not have proof of onward travel!
This really confused me as I had not been asked for it when landing in Mexico from the UK!
I had to book a flight there and then using terrible airport WIFI 45 minutes before boarding began. That was achievable, what kept it on a knife edge was that the confirmation from the provider could take up to 24 hours to receive. The flight assistant stated he would only be able to let me on once I had the confirmation and it has shown up on their system!!!
Fortunately, it only took 30 minutes to come through, believe me that 30 minutes felt like forever! Make sure you check this requirment before flying from Peru to your next destination!
