Lima international airport VIP lounge voted world's best by travell

The Sumaq VIP Lounge & Business Center of Peru's Jorge Chavez International Airport has been voted the world's best for 2010 by independent airport lounge programme Priority Pass.

More than 30,000 passengers from all over the world were asked by Priority Pass to pick their favourite lounge from among a 600-strong list.

The lounge at Lima's Jorge Chavez International Airport came up tops, reclaiming its 2009 position, with travellers praising its business facilities and relaxation rooms that have blankets, pillows and showers.

"The awards reflect truly exemplary service standards from the Sumaq VIP Lounge and our other award winners," Jonathan French, head of brand at Priority Pass, said in a statement.

By region, Continental Presidents Club, Terminal E, Houston, Texas, United States, was voted the best lounge in North America and Zurich's Panorama Lounge (Switzerland) the best in Europe.

In the Asia Pacific, KAL Lounge, Concourse A, in Seoul's Incheon Airport (South Korea) was in first place while Bahrain's Dilmun Lounge (Bahrain), was the top in the Middle East and Africa.

Priority Pass is the world's biggest membership programme that gives frequent travellers access to airport lounges regardless of their class of travel or which airline they've flown.
