    Free wifi for 30 min, always crowded, shops are 2x-3x more expensive than outside, unless you live in a developing country with expensive electronics stay way- waste of time, food court ok but small

    Free wifi! Don't put your real email. Not necessary. Server doesn't validate if email is real or not.

    When you come out to take a taxi to Panama City, please double check with the driver. The fare should not be more than $40 (example Uber fare is $35, from Panama to the airport. Don't let them cheat!

    Terrible. Free wi-fi only for 30 minutes. It doesn’t make sense an international airport charging for internet in 2021.

    Although very pretty when you just land right under palm trees but it isn‘t the best organized airport I have ever been to. Preferably, allow yourself some extra time here when transitioning.

    New terminal can't come soon enough. The food court is an absolute relic, frozen in time since 20 years ago w/ the most awful fast-food. Only option outside of it is a Nathan's (!!) on the bottom fl.

    The new wing, very nice and convenient, the old one a pit. Housekeeping went on vacation and never came back...

    Mola's Bar (2 locaciones at both ends is a great option to have a drink and snack before your flight! Free WiFi and the best cocktails, the service is the best!

    If you will stay for long time, go downstairs and will find a free transfer to Metromall every 30 min. There you can eat better and expend some time, they have some outlet stores and tourist discounts

    Use Uber, Cabs at the airpprt are double or triple the price of a Uber ride. Besides that cabs charge $5 dollars extra if you pay with credit card.

    No duty-free cigarettes, no smoking booth and leave your lighter at home, it will be confiscated. Make sure to take the stairs/escalator up for decent WiFi

    Small airport to the point that connections usually take just a few minutes. There’s a lot of short connecting flights there but it’s usually not an issue. Lots of natural light!

    If you thought a croissant was a nice light start of the day, don't try the one of the naturally fast (normally slow) on the 1st floor foodcourt, old and solid as a brick..

    Not the best airport but easy for connections between North and South/Central America. If taking Uber to Panama City, pick up is at the far right end of the parking lot near Lane 15 (as of Apr 2019)

    Half of the GDP of the country comes from the Canal and half from the airport. Everything there is expensive. Avoid buying anything unless necessary.

    The food court is upstairs. You can go up there at gate 132. Hopefully it will save you some time, took me half an hour #stupido

    Most expensive airport I've been to. Don't exchange money here (unless you're okay with getting back 60% of the value)! Also sim cards are extremely overpriced. So is the food / coffee.

    Complete (fast) food court on second floor. Not really well indicated. I think there are just three restrooms in the whole airport (!!). No bookstores or papers/magazines as far as I could see.

    Don’t turn up thirsty after 11PM. Everything is closed, there are no vending machines, but there is 1 water fountain near terminal 26 if you're into trekking and all that.

    Never leave anything to chance when it comes to duty free. 1. They dont have it (videogame consoles) 2. Everything os far more expensive than the mall. Iphones average nearly 800 usd!!

    Very fun airport, more like a mall, that happens to have some air traffic going through it. Very diverse selection of shops and restaurants, only one lounge air side, Copa, which is OK

    For how nice this airport is generally it’s crazy the wifi costs money. 30m free? Wasn’t enough to make it through customs and get an Uber. Wait to start your wifi until you are outside!

    Arriving and didn't get enough food on the plane?Walk out of terminal 1 to the right to find Niko's.Looks shitty from the outside, but food is good. Airport staff eats here also.

    Don’t buy duty free liquids unless you’re ok with giving them back to airport security. At the gates, there is a 2nd security check- they take away liquids over 3 ounces (including duty free purchase)

    Duty free very expensive but in Alcohol and Cigarettes, if you want to buy electronics go to Panafoto in the city. Clothes, jewelry, etc is very expensive.

    The new food court is nice, but if you just want a coffee and sandwich you have to stand in line and watch a quite disorganized crew messup. Abajoi el foodcourt, vive Tierra Firme . Mas autentico

    Advise: log in first with your PC. Two hours later with your phone. At gate 4 you can reach wifi network called MolasNorte password: 12345678. There are better deals with electronic devices on Amazon

    There are several stores and it is a tax free area but hold on your impulses, connect on the free airport Wi-Fi and check eBay before each deal, you will notice that most of them will not worth it.

    The new metro bus makes it a lot cheaper to get to the airport (even though the path is still kinda weird). Pay 25 centavos rather than 25$ on a taxi. Handy for backpackers, you do need the card tho

    Getting messier by the day. Too crowded, too narrow and too small. You can find overpriced games and electronics, but getting something to eat is a challenge.

    Very short queues, almost no wait (took 10 mins from entering the airport to gate, incl security and baggage drop). Immigration officers don’t speak English. Cigarettes are very cheap in duty free.

    Right now there is only one door to enter, yet you can go through security a few ways. Double check your flight as you walk pass security, gates change a lot here
