A Panama or Latin-America-wide eSIM is a solid backup if you need reliable data for a self-transfer through Tocumen, since terminal wifi speeds can vary noticeably by time of day and gate area.

Insider tip

Free wifi sessions are typically time-limited after a quick email/registration step — fine for messaging and boarding-pass checks, but don't count on it for extended video calls during a long layover.

WiFi network names and session limits change frequently. Verify current details at the airport information desk or official website.
