Speed of Transiting at PTY
We have an itinerary (same ticket) coming yp where we are arriving from the US, and have only one hour at PTY before our flight to LIM is supposed to depart. Both flights are with Copa in Biz.

Having never been to Panama before, how speedy/efficient is transiting at Tocumen Intl? How good are COPA handling IRROPS? Having read a mixed bag of reviews about COPA, I don't really know what to expect. The lounge at PTY is apparently nothing to write home about?

Should not be an issue, even if your gates are in separate terminals (10-15 mins walk between the 2)

1 hour is plenty of time, as the flight schedule padding (for the punctuality thing) is approx 30 minutes (that's to say you generally arrive 20-30 minutes before scheduled arrival time). In that route with plenty of flights they are quite good handling the low possibility misconnection.

The Lounge is indeed nothing to write home about, but anyway that's a somewhat tight connection to enjoy any lounge.
