LATAM's general table is 2 hours for a domestic departure and 3 hours for an international one; CUZ is not in the exception list. The 05:00–07:00 Lima bank is when check-in and the single staffed scanner stack up.

MTC's passenger FAQ is the same 2 h / 3 h buffer. Carry-on-only locals sometimes cut it tighter; do not copy leftover LIM new-terminal 3–5 hour advice onto this field.

Check-in is upstairs; after security, stairs drop you toward the domestic gates and the Hanaq lounge. International departures (SCL / BOG / LPB) do not get that lounge.

Priority Pass and Amex Platinum both say domestic boarding passes only, 3-hour max stay, children under 2 free. Leftover DragonPass leftover-unverified — the live CUZ airport page is empty.

Landside kiosks in the small parking apron in front of the terminal door are the honest cheap bottles and sandwiches. Airside café prices are the mark-up.

CORPAC has no published fountain map. On domestic CUZ screening, a sealed bottle can stay in the bag — that is a Peru domestic filter, not an international 100 ml rule.

The live airport is still Velasco Astete. Chinchero's 12-million-passenger / 11-bridge design is not in passenger service.

Do not sit leftover 'opens 2021' Sleeping-in-Airports copy, leftover minister 2027 ops as a live date, or leftover contractor 2028 completion as an opening day.
