Panama City has two international airport, a small one, really close to the center and then Tocument, quiet far. A taxi to/from airport to the city will cost USD 30, but if one has a public transportation card (not available at the airport) transportation will cost USD 1,25.

In fact this is a terrible airport. Staff is generally unfriendly, extreme police/emigration control, a mess in methods... an example: after the security control passengers will naturally buy water for the flight, as usual in all airports... big mistake... there is a second security control by the gate and those bottles will be confiscated.

As another sign of the mess Tocumen is, theoretically there is free Wi-Fi but basically it won't work.

Also considering the size and importance of the airport is appalling that nobody speaks English....
