When this route gets cheap.
The cheapest itinerary we are tracking flies Copa Airlines nonstop and takes about 4 hours outbound, on a 6-night trip. At $379 for 2,408 km each way, that works out to about $79 per 1,000 km flown. That is above the $41 per 1,000 km typical of short-haul fares here. Of the 3 departure cities we track at a similar distance from Panama City, this is the cheapest right now — 25% under the next one, Miami. We have 1 month of cached prices for this route so far — not enough to call a fare cheap or expensive, so we publish the price without a percentage. Fare history here is still too short to name a cheap season. The best time to be in Panama City: Dec–Apr.

Good to know
MEX → PTY, answered.
How far in advance should I book MEX → Panama City?
We do not publish a number for this, because we cannot measure it yet. Answering it honestly means watching the same departure date on this route over many weeks as it approaches, and that archive is still filling up — so any "book N days ahead" figure here would be borrowed from somewhere else rather than measured. Our guide Why flight prices change covers the levers we can measure.
Are there nonstop flights from Mexico City to Panama City?
Yes — the current board includes nonstop fares (Copa Airlines). The outbound leg runs around 4 hours.
Are these prices guaranteed?
No — these are cached fares found on real searches (this one on 17 October). Airlines reprice constantly, so the booking search re-checks the live price before you pay. Fresher finds are far more likely to still be available.
