Frequently Asked Questions

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

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

The flight from Panama City to David is about 214 miles and typically takes 1 hour 21 minutes nonstop. The return from David to Panama City is a bit shorter at 1 hour 8 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 Panama City to David?

Yes, Copa Airlines flies non-stop from Panama City to David, with 20 weekly flights on a daily schedule and departures at 06:30, 07:55, 15:01, and 16:10. Copa (a Star Alliance member) operates Boeing 737-family aircraft on the route, and the flight takes roughly 81 minutes. Copa is the sole airline currently scheduled non-stop 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 David?

Taxis are the fastest and most used option from Enrique Malek International Airport to downtown David, taking about 10 minutes for the 6.5 km trip and costing $3–$5. Car rental desks are in the arrivals hall, and driving is easy with little traffic on the well-maintained Pan-American Highway. Private transfer services are also available and offer a hassle-free alternative, though they are generally more expensive than taxis. Public buses serve the city but are more relevant for regional travel than for the short airport-to-center hop.

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

No overnight or red-eye flights operate from Panama City to David. Neither nonstop nor connecting red-eye service is scheduled on this route.
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 Panama City to David?

Copa Airlines currently operates non-stop service from Panama City to David, with 20 weekly flights departing daily. The airline flies this route multiple times per day, with departures at 06:30, 07:55, 15:01, and 16:10. Copa is a Star Alliance member, and no other carriers are currently scheduled non-stop on this route.
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 David?

David has one airport, Enrique Malek International Airport, about 5 km from downtown David. It serves domestic flights within Panama and is the main gateway for the Chiriquí region.

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

From downtown Panama City, the fastest and most popular way to reach Tocumen International Airport is by taxi or ride-share, which takes about 20-25 minutes via the South Corridor toll road. Public transport is much cheaper: you can take the Metro Line 2 from the airport to Corredor Sur, transfer to San Miguelito, then continue on Line 1 toward downtown, though this requires at least two connections; a public bus (Metrobus) is also available for around $0.25 but involves a walk and longer travel time. Private transfers and hotel shuttles offer door-to-door convenience, while driving yourself is possible via the toll road or Avenida Domingo Diaz, with parking available at the airport. Taxis and ride-shares are the most direct and time-efficient, while the metro and bus are the low-cost alternatives.
