Cheap Flights from Panama City to Almaty — $739

Almaty International Airport (ALA) is Kazakhstan’s main international gateway and typically operates as the city’s premium hub, serving as a base for Air Astana and SCAT alongside carriers such as Aeroflot, Turkish Airlines and several regional operators. Flights to and from Almaty can be mid-range in price compared with the region, while domestic hops are often cheaper. The airport sits roughly 15–20 km from downtown Almaty; taxis and ride‑hailing services usually take about 20–40 minutes depending on traffic and can cost in the single to low double‑digit USD equivalent, while public buses and shared minibuses are slower (30–60 minutes) but much cheaper. Recent terminal upgrades improve comfort and international connections, though peak times and winter weather can lead to delays or longer queues.

Tocumen International Airport (PTY) is Panama City’s main international hub and the primary gateway for long-haul and connecting flights, typically serving major carriers and regional airlines with frequent Copa Airlines operations. Located roughly 20–25 km east of downtown, transfers can be 20–50 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with fares often in the $20–40 range; airport shuttles and private transfers can be a mid-priced alternative, while local buses take longer but cost considerably less. Pros: modern facilities, good connection options and lounges; cons: distance from the historic center and peak-hour congestion can add time to transfers. Marcos A. Gelabert (Albrook) Airport functions as Panama City’s smaller domestic and regional airport, usually handling local carriers, charters and budget services. It sits close to central neighborhoods—about 4–6 km from downtown—so surface travel is typically quick: 10–20 minutes by taxi or short rides on the Metro and bus networks, with fares commonly modest (a few dollars or less on public transport). Pros: very convenient for quick domestic hops and access to the Albrook bus terminal; cons: limited long-haul services and fewer passenger amenities compared with the larger international airport.
