🛩️ Consejos para volar en avionetas: qué esperar en un vuelo con Flytrip

¿Estás pensando en explorar Panamá desde el aire? Volar en avioneta es una experiencia única que mezcla aventura, vistas espectaculares y la comodidad de llegar rápido a lugares escondidos. Si es tu primera vez volando con Flytrip, aquí te contamos todo lo que debes saber para disfrutar el viaje al máximo.

🟠 1. It’s not like flying on a commercial plane (it’s better!)

Una de las primeras cosas que notarás es lo **cercano y personalizado** que es el servicio. Nada de filas interminables ni salas frías de espera. En los vuelos de Flytrip, los abordajes suelen ser rápidos, con atención directa y un ambiente relajado.

Plus, flying in a small plane connects you with the landscape: you can see jungles, islands, volcanoes, and villages from a magical perspective. Many travelers say it’s one of the best parts of the trip.

“We flew from Albrook to Bocas, and in less than an hour we were seeing the Caribbean from above. It was unforgettable.” — Ana M., Spanish tourist

🟠 2. What to bring (and what not to)

Since space is limited, pack only the essentials:

✅ A backpack or small bag 

✅ Comfortable, lightweight clothing 

✅ Sunglasses (the light can be intense) 

✅ A camera or a fully charged phone (you’ll want to record everything!)

🚫 Avoid large or heavy luggage. In general, the weight limit per passenger is lower than on commercial flights. If you’re unsure, the FlyTrip team will explain everything before the flight.

🟠 3. Yes, you’ll feel the movement more (but that’s part of the adventure)

Because the planes are smaller, it’s normal to feel a bit more wind or altitude changes. Don’t worry — it’s totally safe. Our pilots have years of experience and are trained to fly in Panama’s diverse weather conditions.

Tip: if you get motion sickness easily, avoid eating a heavy meal before the flight and, if possible, sit near the pilot. Looking at the horizon helps.

🟠 4. Get ready to see landscapes straight out of a movie

Flying over the Pearl Islands, Darién, or the Veraguas coastline feels like stepping into a National Geographic documentary. Have your camera ready — the aerial shots you’ll take are going to be on another level.

🟠 5. Arrive with time and a relaxed attitude

Although boarding is quick, we recommend arriving at least 45 minutes before your flight. That way you can ask any questions, meet the team, and even watch how the aircraft is prepared.

The FlyTrip atmosphere is relaxed and friendly: many passengers tell us they feel like part of a small traveling community.
