Panama City is served mainly by Tocumen International (PTY), the country’s primary international hub that typically handles long-haul and connecting flights for carriers like Copa Airlines and other global partners. Tocumen is positioned as a full-service gateway with a wide range of shops and lounges; fares can vary but it’s often seen as mid-range for international travel. The airport lies about 24 km (roughly 30–45 minutes) from downtown via the Pan-American Highway or the new Metro line plus bus/taxi; expect taxi fares to be moderate and public transit to be the cheapest option. Pros: strong international connections and modern facilities. Cons: traffic and occasional delays to/from the city can add time to transfers. For budget or domestic connections, Albrook “Marcos A. Gelabert” Airport (PAC) typically serves regional and low-cost carriers, focusing on short-haul flights within Panama and nearby countries. It’s located very close to the city center — around 3–5 km, often a 10–20 minute taxi or bus ride — making it convenient for quick hops. Transport options include taxis and local buses with low fares, and travel times are reliably short. Pros: proximity and easy ground access; cons: fewer amenities and limited long-haul options compared with Tocumen.

Dubai International (DXB) is the emirate’s primary international hub, handling most long‑haul and premium carriers—Emirates, flydubai and numerous global airlines operate extensive schedules. It’s located about 10–15 km from Dubai’s main downtown areas; typical transfers by taxi or ride‑hail take roughly 15–30 minutes (fares can vary widely), while the Dubai Metro’s Red Line connects the airport to central districts in about 25–40 minutes with modest ticket costs. DXB is convenient for frequent international connections and offers many lounges and services, though it can be busy during peak periods and walking distances between gates can be long. For budget options or domestic flights you may contrast it with the other airport below. Al Maktoum International (DWC), often positioned as Dubai’s secondary airport and a growing cargo and low‑cost passenger gateway, typically hosts a mix of budget and charter carriers along with increasing scheduled services. Situated near Jebel Ali roughly 35–50 km from central Dubai, travel times to the city center can range from 40–60+ minutes by car depending on traffic; shuttle buses and taxis provide regular links with fares generally lower than long taxi rides but higher than metro tickets. DWC can be more relaxed, with newer facilities and easier check‑in, but it’s farther out and may add extra transit time and cost for many travelers compared with DXB.
