| Topic | Info |
|---|---|
| Journey time | From London: 11–12 hours (1 stop via Miami or Bogotá). From Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt: 11–12 hours (1 stop via US or Copa Airlines via Bogotá). Copa Airlines operates Panama City as its hub — good connections from Madrid direct and via Bogotá. |
| Best season | December–April: dry season (‘verano’), sunny, 28–32°C — the best time to visit. May–November: wet season (daily afternoon rain). The Pacific coast is driest January–April. San Blas Islands (Kuna Yala) are best December–March (calmer seas). The Canal itself operates year-round. |
