Tocumen International Airport Halal Travel Guide

The airport is in the San Miguelito District, 32 kilometers northeast of Panama City, which has been incorporated as a separate city but crucially exists as part of Panama City.

It has one terminal, simply named "Terminal 1". Terminal 2 is expected to open in early 2019.

The airport began as an US airbase in the 1940s.

The airport is a hub for Copa Airlines, and is also served by American Airlines (Dallas/Ft.Worth, Miami Airport); Delta Air Lines (Atlanta Airport); United Airlines (Houston, Newark); Avianca (Bogotá, Colombia, San José (Costa Rica), San Salvador and Managua). Most major Central American airlines, and several South American airlines and European airlines also fly here.

Tocumen is the biggest and best connected airport in mainland Central America.

• There are at least six daily Flights to and from Miami Airport, two from Orlando and Atlanta, 5 weekly Flights from Tampa, three daily Flights from Houston, 1 from LAX|Los Angeles, two from Newark Liberty International Airport|Newark, and 1 from New York JFK.
• There are daily Flights to MEX|Mexico City; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Port-au-Prince, Haiti; Caracas, Venezuela; Santiago, Chile; Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil; Buenos Aires, Argentina; Asunción, Paraguay; Havana, Cuba; Kingston, Jamaica, at least 7 Colombian cities (Medellín, Cali, Pereira and Bogotá included) and several international destinations.
• There's also service to Madrid Barajas Airport with Iberia and service to Amsterdam Schiphol with KLM-Airline.
• Air China operates a special twice-weekly flight to Beijing via Houston-Intercontinental on which, due to fifth freedom rules and the Houston-Panama City flight can be booked. This flight can be a great deal cheaper than other flights on this route, although the competition has caught on with its pricing. Nevertheless, a ride in a widebody with seatback screens and free meals can be much better than the narrowbody jets normally used.

Ground transport

Travel on a Bus in Tocumen International Airport

Out

There are metrobuses (modern, air-conditioned buses) which cost $1.25 to get to the downtown from the airport, but these buses only accept fare cards, not cash. At the airport there are only machines to top up fare cards, but not to buy them. However and the bus is always full of people going to and from the airport, so you can probably find someone willing to pay your fare with their card and you pay them back in cash. Just ask one of the many people entering the bus. They might not have enough on their card though—just try the next person.

To get to the bus stop GPS 9.0714307,-79.3890170 follow the "public transport" sign by turning right as you exit the terminal and then follow the fence along to the right, cross the small parking lot, and follow the (mostly) covered sidewalk the rest of the way—or just follow people. It's no more than a 5-minutes walk. There are at least two different bus routes that go to the Albrook bus terminal; take the one marked Corredor Sur if at all feasible for a half hour trip (depending on traffic), or take the local bus (Via España) for a slow (at least 1½ hr) trip.

As of Jan 2019 and there are apparently also big local (former school) buses going to the city, which can be paid in cash. Just ask.
