Panama City’s main gateway is Tocumen International Airport (PTY), a large regional hub handling most long-haul and international flights and serving as Copa Airlines’ core connecting point. A smaller alternative is Marcos A. Gelabert Airport (PAC) near the city, mostly used for domestic and charter services. Tocumen is roughly 15–25 km (30–45 minutes) from the city center depending on traffic; options include taxis and app-based rides (typically moderate fares), airport shuttles, and occasional private transfers. Domestic terminals are closer and can be cheaper for local hops. Pros: wide international connectivity and frequent connections; Cons: peak-hour congestion and taxi price variability. Tickets and ground costs can vary by carrier and season.
Rio de Janeiro is served primarily by two airports with distinct roles. Galeão–Antonio Carlos Jobim (GIG) is the city’s main international hub, typically handling long-haul and many full-service carriers; it lies about 20–25 km north of central neighborhoods like Copacabana and takes roughly 30–50 minutes by taxi depending on traffic, with ride fares usually higher than local buses. Santos Dumont (SDU) sits much closer to downtown and the business districts—around 2–8 km away—and is commonly used for short domestic hops and regional airlines; transfers to the center can be as quick as 10–20 minutes by taxi or public boat, often costing less than airport express options. Ground transport includes taxis, app-based rideshares, airport buses, and limited rail/boat links; travel times can vary widely in peak hours. Galeão can be more comfortable for international connections and has broader services, while Santos Dumont offers unbeatable convenience for short trips but can be busier and space-constrained during peak times.
