Someone please call Yahoo.....tell them a 777-200LR does not look like a a380
Could have been worse - like a pic of A320! Just teasing, Dustin.
Wasn't that long ago I was doing 17 hour flights from LAX to BKK on Thai Airlines. Even with an upgrade to Premium Economy, it was pretty grueling. The only thing that made it bearable was when you landed, the trip was over unlike doing the 2-stop flight that went through NRT.
A new 650 million dollar terminal is going to be operative by mid to late 2016. You are talking about the 1973 old building, that agree looks like a flee market or worst. Airlines are using Panama as hub for Latin America.
FYI Panama PAYS GOOD MONEY to KLM and Air France (and probably other airlines as well) to land at this airport flying 777s, 330s and sometimes 747s on a daily basis, otherwise they would have a much limited service.
Pretty cool to see the ultra long hauls still hanging around. Sure its no New York - Singapore, but 17.5 hours? add in check in / customs / baggage etc, thats essentially a day.
