  • Consider taking off from or landing at alternative airports for a cheaper fare. Enter your preferred departure and arrival airports in the form fields, then choose the 'Nearby airports' function below. It will list your options, if any.
  • If you're flexible with when you fly out, click on the 'Show flexible dates' link. It'll bring up flight deals for the days either side of your selected departure. Ticket prices often vary depending on what day of the week it is.

  • Firstly, you'll need to take all your travel documents and identification. How much depends on your place of departure. At the time of booking, you're encouraged to use the correct name, birth date and gender as listed on your current ID.
  • A well-packed carry-on bag is a must-have for any medium-haul journey. With several hours up your sleeve, you'll probably long for something to keep you amused while in the air. We suggest a good book (or trashy magazine), and something to nibble on.
  • Aircraft cabins often get chilly. Even if you're traveling during the height of the Panama City summer, make sure you carry a sweater on board with you.

  • Flexibility isn't just useful for your yoga. Avoid locking in your travel dates so you can pick up cheaper airfares when a big sale drops.
  • Look for a budget carrier that has seats in business class. They usually come with extra legroom and a glass of Champagne — and a more affordable price.
  • Take advantage of your airline's loyalty scheme and use points to upgrade your seat. You can also bid for an upgrade in online auctions.

How to get into Panama City from the airport?
If you enjoy the convenience of having your own wheels, reserve a Marcos A. Gelabert Intl. Airport (PAC) car rental with one of the two suppliers at Marcos A. Gelabert Intl. Airport (PAC).
