Cheapest flight from Playa del Carmen to Panama City: how to pay less

The cheapest flight from Playa del Carmen to Panama City is normally booked early, flown mid-week and chosen with the baggage you actually need. These are the rules our staff applies on every booking:

• Fly mid-week - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday departures are usually cheaper than Friday, Sunday and Monday
• Consider early-morning and late-evening departures, which often carry the lowest fares
• Let us know if your dates are flexible - moving by a day can change the fare a lot
• Pack to the fare: a hand-luggage-only ticket is cheaper if you do not need a checked bag
• Compare airlines - on this route the cheapest carrier changes from day to day
• Book both directions together when a return fare is cheaper than two singles, which we look up

How much is a flight from Playa del Carmen to Panama City?

"How much is the Playa del Carmen to Panama City flight?" is the question we get most, and the honest answer is that it moves every day. Low fares open months ahead and disappear as seats sell; peak seasons, school holidays and the most convenient departure times cost more; a fare with a checked bag and a flexible ticket cost more than a hand-luggage-only seat. Haqqi Tours can provide the current cost for the date you travel quickly of receiving the form - the actual fare, not an estimate.

Ask us for two or three options and we send the cost of each - for example the cheapest fare with hand luggage only, the same flight with a checked bag, and the best-timed departure of the day - so the comparison is in front of you before you book.
