About this route
The return leg to the capital, timed for travellers ending their trip or catching next-day flights out of Tocumen. It is the same one-seat run as the outbound: Soná, the Pan-American across Veraguas and Coclé, and into the city.
If your flight leaves the same day, tell us the departure time when you book — we will tell you honestly whether the connection is realistic or whether you should travel the day before and sleep near the airport.
