When I was growing up, I always heard that St. Louis was the gateway to the West in the United States. That’s similar to hearing Panama City is the gateway to Central and South America for the rest of the world. A lot of flights come in to Panama City from North America, Europe, and Asia. These flights are routed to Costa Rica and all the Central American countries. Many of the flights also go to Colombia and other points of South America. Panama is a huge hub for international travel.

 

The flights to Panama City are reasonably priced. Living in Volcán when I’m from Central Kentucky, I tend to travel back and forth between Kentucky and here. I usually pay under $700 for roundtrip tickets between Volcán and Kentucky which is very affordable.
