Since Panama is on the American continent, it is clear that you can reach it from Russia or another European state either by sea or by air. I did not specifically focused on the use of an aircraft (speaking by air), since in the twentieth century, commercial flights were made between these continents using airship, and quite successful, but after the tragedy with the "Hindenburg", which occurred in the sixth of May 1937, as a result of which Thirty-six people died, passenger transportation, with the use of airship, were discontinued.
Who knows, may in the near future, with the development of modern technologies, this interesting and fascinating type of transport will resume such flights. It must be said that in the past century, and the sea passenger message between the continents was quite developed. And for sure, everyone will remember the legendary "Titanic", which also finished his existence very tragically (more than one and a half thousand people died). Well, we will not be about sad.
At the moment, regular marine passenger communications, between Europe and America, as far as I know, are not implemented, and tourist trips are carried out within the framework of marine cruises, with access to ports of different countries.
True, there are also tourists who agree with the owners or captains of commercial vessels performing commercial transportation and having the opportunity to take on board a small number of passengers. It can save some amount of money for the road, but for this you need to be very experienced in terms of independent travel, while not suffering from "marine disease." Such a route may take from five to ten days. So we will consider only the airfare, which is the fastest and regular way to get into Panama. As an intended departure, I will take Moscow, since it makes no sense to describe all airports in Russia or other countries of near and far abroad. So, as for tickets. Currently, with booking and buying tickets, be it departure from your country or any other, no difficulties. Everything can be done without leaving the house, using the Internet, where there is a huge number of sites, both airlines in the world and simply engaged in booking and selling tickets on any flights and directions. Prices, airlines and routes can differ significantly, so it's not worth stopping your choice on the first site. For example, I can bring one good site Skyscanner.ru. . For interest, I looked at it yesterday at it flight from Moscow to Panama and back, for the period from February 22 to March 7. The total cost, per person, was six hundred seventy-two dollars. Today, on the same flight and on the same site you can buy it for six hundred forty-five dollars (twenty-seven dollars cheaper). As you can see, even on one site prices are constantly changing, depending on the demand of buyers and availability. Good prices for airlines Tap Portugal. , with a change in Lisbon, Air France. , With a change in Paris.
Good prices from the Netherlands airline KLM. . Russian Aeroflot As a rule, more expensive and performs transplants, mainly in the United States of America. From Moscow to Panama can be reached (depending on the flight) from fifteen hours and more. Daily from Moscow takes away a lot of flights to the docking airports, from which direct flight to Panama is carried out. There may be two transplants. In general, with tickets I think it is clear. We must search and select suitable options.
Further. Almost all companies are landing in International Airport Tokumen.,
Which is located twenty with more than one kilometers from the capital Panama - Panama City. Getting to the city, most convenient for a taxi, which will cost at least twenty dollars (passing for a taxi in Panama on the counter is about one dollar per kilometer). But, in any case, doginate the cost in advance, not sitting in the car. So you will be able to knock down the price to a minimum, since taxi drivers can request thirty-five dollars. In addition, you can take advantage of the car rental, the offices of such firms are right at the airport. True, the cost here is significantly higher (from eighty dollars a day) than in other areas of the city, where you can find a car for dollars fifty. For individual use, some take a scooter rental, which can do from twenty-five to forty dollars, depending on the power and model. On large islands, buggy, Japanese production are more often used. As for the price of gasoline, then on average around the country, at the moment, it is seventy cents per liter, which is quite acceptable.
The fare in the city public transport is twenty-five cents, and since Panama City is relatively small (almost ten times less Moscow), many use a taxi service, which in small distances costs three to five dollars.
In addition, a year and a half ago in Panama began to function the metro, which is currently three lines and connects the main areas of the city. In this video, you will see what the Panaman metro represents, as well as how payment for travel is carried out.
If you need to move outside the city, then in the continental part it is easier to use bus transport, the fare on which goes in the area of one dollar in fifty kilometers of the way. With an island part of the country use air or a ferry message. There are several companies on domestic airlines, but the flight is more stable. Air Panama. . Tickets can be booked on the company's website.
Through the entire country, the railway passes from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, which can also be used.
That's what I wanted to tell you in this article. I hope that the information provided will be useful and will help in the future if you decide to visit Panama. I can only wish you good luck and unique travel to this interesting country.
