The new metro bus makes it a lot cheaper to get to the airport (even though the path is still kinda weird). Pay 25 centavos rather than 25$ on a taxi. Handy for backpackers, you do need the card tho
Advise: log in first with your PC. Two hours later with your phone. At gate 4 you can reach wifi network called MolasNorte password: 12345678. There are better deals with electronic devices on Amazon
Another thing, there's no real free wifi in the airport. In 2017. It took my aunt 2 hours to clear customs and there's no way for u to know where your relative is and employees def won't assist
Duty free very expensive but in Alcohol and Cigarettes, if you want to buy electronics go to Panafoto in the city. Clothes, jewelry, etc is very expensive.
The new food court is nice, but if you just want a coffee and sandwich you have to stand in line and watch a quite disorganized crew messup. Abajoi el foodcourt, vive Tierra Firme . Mas autentico
Because they were running behind schedule, me and about half the other passengers on my plane weren't put through the bag scan or scanned for items on our person.
Terrible airport! Don't waste your money buying any beverages as you'll have to throw them away at the gate security screening. Be prepared to have your baggage rifled through with complete disregard.
Very short queues, almost no wait (took 10 mins from entering the airport to gate, incl security and baggage drop). Immigration officers don’t speak English. Cigarettes are very cheap in duty free.
Once you give the first step into Tocumen you're graced with frowned faces and indifference. Horrible. I wouldn't recommend staying there much longer than you need.
Getting messier by the day. Too crowded, too narrow and too small. You can find overpriced games and electronics, but getting something to eat is a challenge.
WiFi sucks most of the time. The only two american chain food places are Dunkin Donuts and Subway. Duty free is quietcheap, specially on alcohol and cigarettes.
You have to go through security twice. The second security by the gate will not let you take liquids on the plane, even that you bought it in the airport.
