Traveller Comments....
"Cleaning staff helpfully woke me several times to ensure i'd not miss my flight" (Heather)
"The bottom line: you're going to have a long layover in a nice airport that is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to sleep in." (?)
"We asked one of the workers about where "those crazy people that sleep in the food court" tend to congregate. They laughed and pointed straight across from them to the glass walls lining the largest section of the dining area of the food court." (?)

"I was excited to pass the night at an airport during a layover. We had to wait for a 5:30am flight, and we had to save money on hotels; so we decided to sleep at the airport. We could not rest anywhere on the airport until the crowds had subsided, around 10:30pm. We walked around for the best spot to take a nap. I found a perfect spot on the second floor, on a bridge-skywalk in the front of the airport. We were politely asked to leave, as it was a hazard. We asked for the best place to rest, and they told us in the second floor, left of the escalators, in a secluded area, in front of a phone store, and near a massage spa. We went there around 11:00pm, seeing other travelers sleeping in the same area. We slept on the floor (the music from the spa helped) until 1:30am, when they woke us up because the cleaning crew needed to wash the floors with a mini zamboni and mops. Tired and red-eyed, we move downstairs to the first floor. We find a small secluded area near the luggage lockers. We sleep the remaining two hours on the floor, and very lightly, as the cleaning crew was still moping the entire airport section by section.
In short, invest in a hotel stay in Lima."
