Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Flights within Panama are inexpensive and short - few are longer than one hour.
However, if traveling to the Darién, Isla Contadora or Comarca de Kuna Yala, it's quite
possible that the plane may make multiple stops. You'll find that prices vary according to
season and availability.

BUS
Albrook airport, is a convenient and modern one-stop location for most buses leaving
Panama City. The terminal includes a food court, banks, shops, a sports bar, storage
room, bathrooms and showers. A mall lies next door, complete with a supermarket and
cinema.
Passengers must buy a multiuse card or
tarjeta
to pay the US$0.10 terminal tax before
entering the bus area by turnstile (it also serves to use bus terminal bathrooms). You can
avoid this inconvenience by offering another person in line cash to swipe their card for
you.
