Special services

What should I do if I need special assistance for my trip?

Before your trip, please inform us that you require special assistance at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure of your flight. This will allow us to make the necessary planning to provide you with the service.

On the day of your flight, please show up at the airport in advance to activate the service (3 hours before for domestic flights and 4 hours before for international flights), then go to the counter to announce yourself.

Keep in mind:

    • If you require medical equipment, such as oxygen concentrators, wheelchairs, or portable dialysis equipment, you must inform us, regardless of the number of items you require.
    • When traveling with a group of 10 or more people with disabilities, you must contact us at least 48 hours in advance to guarantee assistance.
    • Check the channels where you can request your special assistance.
    • Mobility and assistance equipment is included in your baggage allowance.
    • Follow our recommendations for the day of your flight, our crew is trained to assist you.
    • In order to guarantee service, it is important that you make your reservation within the recommended times. 
General recommendations:
  1. You don't need a medical certificate to travel, unless you need oxygen or your health condition is such that you can't fly without special medical help. In some cases, we may require a medical certificate if the passenger has a communicable disease.
  2. If you are traveling with your own respiratory equipment, please report an hour in advance, in addition to the time required to start registration and security checks.
  3. For domestic flights in Peru, you must be at the airport counter one hour before departure time. Otherwise, due to operational times, your acceptance will be conditioned.
