The honest take

Andes Salon VIP is the Priority Pass lounge at Alfredo Rodríguez Ballón International (AQP), Arequipa. Priority Pass places it airside after security in the Domestic Departure Hall: turn right through the lounge access door, take the stairs, and continue to the 1st-floor reception.

Hours on PP (research day 2026-09-19): 05:00-22:00 daily, subject to flight schedules; maximum stay 4 hours; children under 5 free; digital cards accepted; no smoking including vaping.

PP Important Information warns that some card issuers may not include complimentary access for domestic passengers in Peru - cardholders should confirm benefits before visiting. AAP's Arequipa page also markets the Andes VIP Lounge (Wi-Fi, snacks, drinks) with hours tied to flight schedules.

CORPAC's technical fiche places the airport in Cerro Colorado at 2,350 msnm with a 06:00-22:00 ops window - this is a daytime highland gateway, not a 24h hub lounge.

Verdict depends: solid daytime PP coverage for domestic-hall waits, but issuer caveats, domestic-hall placement, and evening close keep it from an automatic worth-it.
