Panama City: €438 Air Europa Flights from Various European Cities (Cabin Bags Only)

Departures are available from several European cities, and travel is possible from January to May 2024. A change of planes in Madrid is necessary in any case. This Light Fare includes a personal item and hand luggage up to 10 kg. The fare with checked baggage in the case of Zurich is available directly from the airline starting at €568, which may not be as attractive.

First, you will fly with Air Europa on a Boeing 737 with a 3-3 economy class configuration. Then, continue your journey to Panama with Air Europa on a Boeing 787 with a 3-3-3 economy class configuration and 79cm of legroom.

This deal is available until January 14, 2024, with availability found for the period of January to May 2024. No minimum stay is required, and the maximum stay is 3 months

Flights booked through the Air Europa‘s website may be more expensive than those available on OTAs, so in this case, we recommend comparing prices with both the airline and Skyscanner to ensure you get the best deal.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Mileage

In the case of flights from Zurich to Panama, the tickets are issued by Air Europa in booking class Z. Here are the miles and points you will earn with this deal:
