Panama Province Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Don't ask! I am someone who has been fined at this airport before!

❇️ This airport is not very big, and there is a new plan for this visit~ The overall impression is very modern, but because it left me with a not so good impression before, I am not very fond of this airport~🫣 However, it is the only airport in Central America with two runways in use, and it is also the busiest and largest in terms of passenger flow in 🇵🇦 and Central America.🫣 • 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 ❇️ Arrival: If you are traveling in the morning, or it is your first time arriving in 🇵🇦, then here are a few pieces of advice~ 💚①: Do not bring too many things like catalogs or samples, the customs here do not like these things very much, or you need to declare them, and pay a certain amount of fees~ 💚②: Don't be timid and scared of these customs officers, you are just entering normally to do business, or to attract business, not to do something bad, don't let the customs officers think you are there to do bad things, if they ask you and you get scared and then dodge, then just wait to be called into the little black room for questioning~ • 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 ❇️ Departure: The process of departure is quite fast, this is something I can say for sure~ • ❇️ Dining: There are not many dining options in the airport, just some simple meals, cafes, fast food, etc. • ❇️ Shopping: There is not much shopping at this airport, it feels like you could walk from one end of the airport to the other in about half an hour haha~ So if you are planning to buy something here to take back to your country, just forget it~ Better buy in advance in the city~

Copa Airlines Business Class GRU-PTY

#fallishere In the confined space of the smaller plane, Copa Airlines managed to create a business class environment that defied expectations. The decision to opt for a 2-2 configuration, while reflective of the aircraft's limitations, did not compromise on the overall design and comfort. The standout feature was undoubtedly the stunning blue leather used for the seats, adding a touch of elegance and class. The color choice not only contributed to a sophisticated aesthetic but also created a distinctive ambiance within the cabin. It showcased Copa Airlines' commitment to providing a premium experience, even on smaller aircraft. The design and furnishing of the plane spoke volumes about the airline's attention to detail. Every element seemed carefully curated, from the layout of the seats to the choice of materials, creating an environment that transcended the limitations of the aircraft's size. Despite the challenges posed by the 2-2 configuration on a small plane, Copa Airlines managed to turn this journey into a visually pleasing and comfortable experience. It demonstrated that, with thoughtful design, even the constraints of space can be transformed into an opportunity for style and sophistication.

Great lounge hidden from the crowd

#fallishere I was very glad to have found this little resting nest. My flight wasn’t until 2am and I was at the airport at 8pm. They had some snacks , coffee and tea. All food and drink will be serve to you joy self serve .they have a few screen tv.I use the priority pass to gain access and can stay for 4 hours that’s the maximum you can stay . I wasn’t there to eat, but to rest. sitting was comfortable and have charging plug all over . The place wasn’t busy as I guess not many people know this lounge as it is before the security check . you can even enter without check in for your flight . Overall , the lounge is clean ,nice and quiet . I would definitely recommend this place .

Wonders of the Modern World

#freehotelstay The Panama Canal is designated as one of the "Seven Wonders of the Modern World. Was there to see the lock system and also got to see a container ship to pass through. I definitely recommend checking the schedule ahead of time to see when ships will be passing through the Miraflores lock and get there a little early as it can get a crowded on the observation decks! They also had a commentator who shared background information about the boats and the process in both Spanish and English on the observation deck, which was a great as you watched the process in action. Really great place you cannot miss if you visit Panama city!

IMAX Panama Canal

#fallishere Cinema included in the entrance fee for the Miraflores Visitor Center - currently the history of the Panama Canal is shown here in 3D spoken by Morgan Freeman. Great overview from the beginnings of the canal to the expansion in the 2000s!

There is store selling snacks like pop corn , hot dog to enjoy while watching the movie .
