Frequently asked questions

Is it cheaper to buy a plane ticket from PTY to General Manuel Serrano Airport last minute?
Booking your flight from Panama Airport to General Manuel Serrano Airport at the last minute could help you save if you hit the jackpot and find a real steal. However, fares usually don't drop in price closer to the departure date. If you take a wait-and-see approach, flights could also be booked solid or the best seats gone (hello, middle seat!). If you'd rather play it safe, book well ahead of the date you want to leave. Note that some of the biggest deals can be found up to a year in advance. If your preferred airline hasn't released its airfares yet, check back regularly as deals are updated on Expedia all the time.
