A New Direct Flight to Panama City, Panama, From San Diego Makes It Easier to Reach the Crossroads of the Americas
An adventure filled with world-class diving, biodiverse rainforests, and more is just one direct flight away.
There’s nowhere quite like Panama. The country is on the isthmus linking Central and South America, and is filled with natural beauty, rich culture, some of the most biologically diverse rainforests in the world, and unparalleled scuba diving on both coasts. And as of June 25, the country will be even easier for people in the United States to fly directly to the capital, Panama City.
Copa Airlines, a leading Latin American airline and the most punctual airline in the region, recently announced four non-stop flights from San Diego to Panama City on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. San Diego is Copa’s third destination in California and the 17th route in the United States. Flights will leave San Diego International Airport at 8:58 PM and arrive in Tocumen International Airport at 5:20 AM, with flights the other direction departing Panama City at 1:16 PM and arriving in San Diego at 6:15 PM.
There’s much to explore in Panama, though this stop can also be the gateway to other parts of South America. Panama City is Copa’s “Hub of the Americas,” and an important connection point between North and South America as well as the Caribbean — Copa Airlines has direct connections to 86 destinations in 32 countries.
