Do I still have to pay airport fee in Lima?

Last time we went, 2 years ago, they even increased it to $80 per person (I think). It’s a rip-off. We had a stop over. You go out, but when you come back they make you pay this ridiculous fee.

I live in Peru. Since 2011, the tax has been added to the ticket price (as has long been practiced by American Airlines). Once in a while, a travel agent will forget to add the TUUA and you will have to pay it at the airport; but this is very rare.
So, there is a departure tax ($30.74 for international and $8.72 for domestic), but you shouldn’t have to pay it in cash at the airport anymore.

At Lima airport there is a sort of gate for this, with a few turnstiles attended by 2 or 3 Lima airport employees.

When I left Lima airport a few weeks ago, at this sort of gate an employee just scanned my boarding pass and told me to pass (without paying the fee). I was flying Iberia, in a LAN plane.

I am under the impression that nowadays at Lima airport the fee is usually included in ticket price.

Most airlines have been collecting the airport tax (sometimes labeled departure tax, embarkation tax or TUUA) since October 2010 or January 2011, so you should already have paid for it when you bought your ticket.

This is at least the case with the main scheduled carriers (inc. Air Canada, American, Continental (now United), Delta, TACA, StarPerú, and LAN). The LIM website does advise double checking your with your airline.

When leaving Lima

If you are flying out of Lima internationally, the airport tax is
US$31, US$7.40 for domestic flights. As of January 2011 this tax has
been rolled into the purchase price of the tickets at this airport.
Ensure you receive a sticker on the back of each ticket from the
check-in counter to attest to this at the security checkpoint.
