Visa rules, luggage storage, taxi prices, delays, safety. Answered instantly, 24/7, in English and Spanish.

Ask the concierge
Can I leave Tocumen Airport during my layover?+

Yes. Most nationalities can leave freely if they clear immigration. With a 6+ hour connection it is comfortable; below 5 hours you need a private driver and a guide tracking your flight.

Do I need a visa to leave the airport?+

Citizens of the US, Canada, the EU, UK, and most of Latin America enter visa-free for tourism with a passport valid 3+ months and an onward ticket. We verify your nationality before confirming any tour.

Can I store my luggage?+

Yes, Tocumen has paid luggage storage near Terminal 2, and several partners offer door-to-door bag handling. Our drivers can also secure bags in the vehicle.

How much is a taxi or Uber from Tocumen to the city?+

Roughly $30–$40 to Casco Viejo depending on traffic and time of day, 35–60 minutes each way. Pre-booked private transfers are fixed price with a meet-and-greet.

What happens if my flight is delayed?+

Every booking is linked to your flight number. If your arrival shifts, your itinerary is rescheduled automatically or fully refunded.

Is Panama City safe for a short visit?+

The tourist corridor — Canal, Casco Viejo, Amador, Costa del Este — is well policed and safe by day. Use licensed drivers and skip unlit side streets at night.
