Flights from Tocumen to David--Finally!!!!

Any one who has ever flown into Tocumen (Panama's international airport) and made the connection to Albrook (Panama's domestic airport) knows the headache and expense this little connection involves. At this writing, standard (and enforced) taxi fare from one airport to the other is $30. You can also anticipate "Mr. Toad's Wild Ride" as you careen down the corridors and across Panama City to the domestic terminal. Only the earliest flights out of the United States and careful planning with no unforeseen delays will get you from the States to Chiriqui in just one day. Usually, if your departure flight from the U.S. is anything other than non-stop, you're looking at an overnight stay (and more $$$) in Panama City. Fine, if you want a couple of days in the city, but not so swell if you are anxious to get to your beach digs and chill.

It isn't clear from the article translated on Panama Investor Blog whether the flight will be available only as a connecting flight from New York or from other cities as well. I'm pretty sure that Copa Airlines will want to make this a cost-efficient addition, so there are bound to be several flights a day. The new runway at Malek Airport in David is now a reality, with further airport improvements on the way. We're certainly looking forward to a more convenient, hassle free way for folks to reach us in Chiriqui--we think it is a fine place to live!
