Copa widens the Panama stopover window

Copa Airlines has expanded its Panama Stopover program from 7 days to 15 days in June 2026, letting connecting passengers spend up to two weeks in Panama City before continuing to their final destination at no additional airfare cost. The change was announced by Copa Airlines CEO Pedro Heilbron and applies across Copa’s network of 80+ destinations in 33 countries. Booking has to happen during the original ticket purchase, through copaair.com’s multi-city/stopover tab or the Copa Reservation Center.

Gobble's Take: A longer layover is still a layover, but Panama just made it much harder to rush through Tocumen like you missed your boarding call. Source: Deep Arrival
