Hi, I have a CM to TK connection at PTY coming up. Arrival is at 14:37 and departure is at 19:50. Would this be treated as a connection, i.e. my bag will be checked through (both flights are on the same ticket)? In Europe it's usually the case for anything below 24 hours but I've read that some American airports/airlines use much shorter cut-offs.

Also, will I have a lounge access for the entire time or is there some kind of a limit for long connections?

And finally, the inbound SXM to PTY is blocked at 3:24 hrs. Is it true that such route won't get a real meal in business, just a snack?

Thank you
