I just flew to Wash DC on the Copa direct flight and loved the hours- I could travel in the evening without losing a day of activities and return to Panama mid morning. ( I flew out of Panama at 7:30 pm, arrived in Washington at 11:30 Panama time and I returned from DC at 6:30 am arriving in Panama at 10:30 am and ready for a full day of activities.)

This schedule works really well for both the busy business traveler and the tourist who may want to get out of Panama City the to the beach or mountains the same day they fly.

Indeed, Panama’s prize winning Copa Airlines is one of Panama’s major attracions. The service and meals are excellent, the flights on time. (They even give you a nice hot sandwich on short flights like the one hour flight from Panama to San Jose Costa Rica. )

Copa has made Panama the flight hub of the America’s. Because of Copa, Panama is now the most connected country in the entire Latin American/Caribbean region. Copa is a major reason so many international companies are making their new regional HQ’s in Panama-on Copa their executives can fly a direct flight from Panama to just about every country in the region-sometimes they can even come back the same day.

Copa shares a ff flyer program with Delta and Continental and has won numerous awards including best company to work for.
