Welcome to Panama! Touching down at Tocumen International Airport (PTY) marks the exciting start of your adventure or business trip. But let's be honest, navigating any major airport after a flight can feel a bit overwhelming, especially when figuring out reliable transportation to your final destination in Panama City.

The good news? Getting from the airport to your hotel, meeting, or residence doesn't have to be stressful. With a little planning and the right service, your arrival can be smooth and comfortable. This guide will walk you through what to expect at Tocumen and how booking your transfer with Amber Moon Taxi (ambermooncab.com) ensures a seamless start to your Panama journey.

Arriving at Tocumen (PTY): What to Expect

Once your plane lands, you'll generally follow these steps:

  1. Deplaning: Follow the signs towards Immigration.

  2. Immigration: Have your passport and any necessary visa/entry documents ready. Officials are generally efficient, but queues can form during peak times.

  3. Baggage Claim: Proceed to the baggage carousels to collect your checked luggage. Screens will indicate which carousel corresponds to your flight. When flaying with COPA airline you can land into terminal 1 or terminal 2, however your luggage is sent to terminal 2, so if you don't need to claim luggage, you might be able to exit by terminal 1 then. If that is the case, let us know via WhatsApp and our driver will meet you there.

  4. Customs: With your luggage, you'll pass through customs. Be prepared to declare any required items. Usually, this is a straightforward process.

You've made it through! Now comes the final step: getting reliable transport into the city.


The Transportation Challenge After Customs

Stepping out of the customs area, you'll find yourself in the main arrivals' hall. This is where things can get a bit chaotic if you haven't pre-arranged transport:

  • Taxi Options: You'll likely see various taxi drivers and transportation providers. It can be difficult to immediately identify official, reliable services or negotiate a fair price, especially if you're tired or unfamiliar with local rates.

  • Ride-Sharing Apps: While available, pick-up points can sometimes be confusing, and wait times can vary.

  • Language Barrier: Communicating your destination clearly and confirming the price can sometimes be challenging.

  • Stress Factor: After a potentially long flight, the last thing you want is added stress haggling over fares or worrying about the safety and reliability of your ride.
