Copa airlines - flying into Panama

Go to vacationexpress.com. direct flights to Dominican Republic. I went to punta cana last year. 3 hour flight. Pretty nice spot

To clarify, it's a direct flight from new orleans.

My wife and I flew Copa between Punta Cana and Panama last year. It was fine. We actually made use of the long layover by renting a car and going to see the Panama Canal. It was pretty cool.

It's significantly cheaper to fly copa airlines and a layover in Panama Columbia.

Is it 1903 again?

I was gonna do this flight also...but was worried about the short 1 hour layover in Panama

Panama City is fine, and 1 hour is plenty there.

I like flying copa. free drinks and 2 checked bags free

Panama airport is very safe

Cops is a terrible airline, if you have to switch planes, you may not get a seat on the connecting flight, tickets, boarding passes don't matter.

Or try and get a spirit flight. I know spirit gets shite on here, but their South American flights from Miami/FLT can't be beat. I paid $300 RT to Panama in December (most expensive time of the year), and I'm taking the SO to Colombia in a few weeks for $170 RT each.

OP, bring cash with you to pay the customs fee when you arrive at the DR. The wife and I had cash but some other passengers were unpleasantly surprised when they had a customs booth demanding $10 cash to enter the country.

Also, use one of the local "ushers" to carry your bags to the taxi/bus. The guy I used had bribed the security guard checking for proper customs authorization. It allowed us to bypass a 30-45 minute line of tourists being checked out. We breezed right through the terminal

Best $2 I spent all vacation
