Glad it helped!

2:10 travelators in the uk or "moving walkway" most everywhere else, in english anyway

Question: My friend transited though panama airport and she gave her fingerprint at the airport. Does US has access to the fingerprint?

Basically arrival and departure are T1 but everything aside from boarding/disembarking is at T2? Which terminal connects to the new metro line?

Well now you will have to make an update to the new immigration updates. No automatic 90 days, you might get 15. Also cash at entry increases from 500 to 1,000.

Thanks for the heads-up. Where did you learn that from? I must be missing something, I have seen nothing from Migracion or lawyers on that. Also there is no fixed cash sum, there is a minimum of $500 (or if it has changed then $1000) which they use only as a starting point, but the requirement is “enough” cash, credit, or bank balance on a card, for you particular stay in Panama.

Not all moving walk ways work. I always get wrong directions.

this was useful. thanks. how is the signage landside from either t1 or t2 to the metro station between the terminals these days?

Nothing inspiring. But everyone is helpful usually. But all you do is take this bus kzread.info/dash/bejne/hH2G0Zmeg7GtpdY.html

Great video! I will be flying through Tocumen later this year on COPA. I will have a 3-hour layover. It would be great if I could leave the airport to see a few sights in Panama, that are not too far from the airport. Even if it's just to get some authentic Panamanian cuisine, and then return to make my flight. Based on security when coming and going, and based on the airport location, is this such a far-fetched plan?

I always allow a big margin of safety when it comes to flights, because the cost of missing one can be significant. I would recommend keeping to the immediate vicinity and you could get some local food to eat. I would not go further than Metromall (about 10mins drive in perfect conditions). And I would check local news and traffic pages for any adverse conditions like protests, heavy rain, strikes. If I had 3hrs I would want to be back after 1hr.

Hi .. Sorry still a bit confused. I am flying from New York to Ecuador via Panama. I arrived to T2 Copa and then I am supposed to transfer to T1, should I need to pass customs and collect my baggage in T2 and recheck in T1?

Why wouldn't your luggage be moved by your airline to the next plane?

I apologize if this is off task but I have a question that you could possibly answer. I've looked into flights to boquete and they are pretty expensive from the states roughly $1,500 round trip. But if you fly into Panama City and then catch a connecting flight to David, it seems to be a lot less expensive. Is this something that you can speak to?

You’re right, however depending where your David flight departs, bear in mind you may need to travel between airports (although this is a breeze normally but check for weather, flooding, protests etc). The only benefit of connecting flights in same airport bought on one ticket with one airline as one trip with same or partner airline is that if your initial flight is delayed or cancelled they will have the problem of arranging your connecting journey, and sometimes they will even delay connecting flight for you to catch or get you a hotel if that’s the case.

How did the layover go? Can you update?

Hi. If I understood well, it is mandatory to pass immigration control to be allowed to walk to take a departure flight in the other terminal ?.
