Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about flying from David to Panama City.

What is the typical flight duration from David to Panama City?

Flights from David to Panama City cover about 214 miles. The typical nonstop flight takes 1 hour and 8 minutes, with the return leg taking 1 hour and 21 minutes.
Methodology
Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.

Are there any direct flights from David to Panama City?

Copa Airlines flies nonstop from David to Panama City, with 20 weekly flights running daily on Boeing 737 aircraft. Departures leave at 08:26, 09:50, 18:16, and 18:31, and the flight takes about 1 hour 8 minutes. Copa is currently the only airline scheduled nonstop on this route.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where an aircraft type is shown, it also comes from this database: for U.S. routes it is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight, and elsewhere in the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example "Airbus A320 family") rather than guess a member, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is simply omitted rather than estimated. Flights known only from the OPDI feed carry no aircraft type, because their flight numbers are synthetic and joining by flight number would attribute another flight's aircraft. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.

What are the ground transportation options in Panama City?

Getting from Tocumen International Airport to downtown Panama City gives you four solid options: official taxis, ride-share services like Uber and InDriver, the cheap public bus, and the metro. Taxis are the most direct and fastest, taking around 20–25 minutes for about $30, which is why they remain the most-used choice for visitors. The metro is the cheapest and most efficient for budget travelers at under a dollar, but it requires a short bus connection to Pedregal Station and at least one transfer. Public buses cost just 25 cents, though they take about an hour and involve a walk to the main road with luggage. Rental cars are available from major agencies like Alamo, Avis, Hertz, and Budget if you plan to explore beyond the city.

Are overnight (red‑eye) flights available from David to Panama City?

No overnight or red-eye flights operate on the David to Panama City route — there are no nonstop red-eyes, and no connecting itinerary has an overnight long leg. The flights on this route land before midnight, so nothing qualifies as a red-eye.
Methodology
Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times and block times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes. A flight counts as a red-eye when it departs in the afternoon or evening (3 p.m. or later local time) or in the early hours before 4 a.m., and is in the air at some point between midnight and 4 a.m. local time at both its departure airport and its arrival airport. An evening flight that lands before midnight at its destination is never counted, nor is a morning departure or a daytime long-haul that reaches the next calendar date only because of time zones. Each red-eye is labelled with its timing (for example, overnight and landing the next morning, or late-night and landing after midnight). For connecting itineraries the same rule is applied to the longer leg, from one representative day's flight search.

Which airlines usually operate this route from David to Panama City?

Copa Airlines operates the nonstop route from David to Panama City with 20 weekly flights, flying daily. Copa is a Star Alliance member.
Methodology
Airlines and weekly frequencies come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a typical fare is shown for a carrier, it is the median of the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours.

Which airport should I use in Panama City?

Panama City has only one commercial airport, Tocumen International Airport, which serves all domestic and international flights for the city.

How do I get to Enrique Malek Intl Airport from the city center?

Taxis are the fastest and most popular way to reach Enrique Malek International Airport from downtown David, taking about 10 minutes and costing roughly $3 to $5 per ride. Local buses also serve the route, stopping at the David bus terminal or along the road when waved down, but they are slower and less direct. Ride-share services are not established in David, and driving yourself is straightforward with free or inexpensive parking at the small airport. Public buses remain the cheapest option, though taxis offer the best balance of speed and convenience.

What aircraft are typically used on flights from David to Panama City?

Copa Airlines operates the nonstop flights from David to Panama City using the Boeing 737 family, with the Boeing 737-700 being the specific type currently scheduled. Copa is the only airline currently scheduled nonstop on this route.
Methodology
Aircraft types come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). For U.S. routes the type is grounded in the tail number that actually operated the flight; elsewhere it comes from the airline's filed equipment code. Where the source does not commit to a specific variant we name the aircraft family (for example Airbus A320 family) rather than guess, and where no reliable type is on file the aircraft is omitted rather than estimated. Types describe typical scheduled equipment and can vary with seasonal or day-of-week assignments and last-minute swaps.
