Transfer from Panama Pacifico Airport to Panama Canal

The drive from Panama Pacifico Airport heads toward the city along the Pacific side, crossing the Bridge of the Americas, a road bridge spanning the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal. Nearby lie the Amador Causeway, with bay views, and the Biodiversity Museum, while the Miraflores Locks sit a short distance further on.

Your driver waits at the arrivals baggage-hall exit of the terminal where your flight lands, holding a name sign. Allow extra time in peak traffic from 7 to 9 AM and 4 to 6 PM, which can add 20 to 30 minutes to the usual 30 to 45 minute drive. At Miraflores, note the ticket office closes around 5 PM, and parking via Gaillard Highway can be tight.

Taxis leave you to negotiate fares and traffic alone, while a public route combining a taxi, Mi Bus S480 to Torremolino and metro or bus takes about 1 hour 9 minutes with several changes. Buses require a public transport card before boarding, and no direct bus to Miraflores from the airport was verified. A pre-booked private transfer gives you one vehicle, a fixed price, a free 60-minute wait and free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup.
