  • Not trying to belabor a point here but when I flew into David this morning at 8:00 a.m., which is a relatively busy time at the Airport, I observed plenty of available parking and there was one more space after I left.

    • Ross.. every airport has both long term and short term parking. It's just not managed in the way you would like it to be at the David facility.

      It's also quite likely that the vast majority of the vehicles parked there do not belong to extranjeros from Boquete. 

      Like many other people I often commute to Panama, usually for a few days, and like many other travelers, I drive myself and leave my car there. Sorry, but I do not consider that to be selfish, as you suggest.

      Cars and taxis picking up and dropping off passengers are instructed to line up alongside the building, in front of the departure lounge, and then proceed to the loading zone in front of the main doors.

  • The parking lot is just that----parking for people flying. It isn't there for the coffees shops. There is not enough businesses in this airport to support this parking. Dropping off and picking up is never a problem in David airport. Taxis do not park here. I have left my car there many times for at least a week at the time. I would NOT park any  where else in David for long periods of time unless there is a closed building with guards there. Of course taxis and "others" do not want you using the parking lot for long term. It's called a choice in parking there. I prefer leaving my car there instead of supporting "others."

      • Ross, are you a licensed taxi? If so, go into the airport and file a complaint with the airport authority.

          • what are shopping tours for at the airport? Coffee, clothes, dinner, breakfast, tools, lawn mowers, buying cars?????????

  • I don't travel much, but I've been there several times when the spaces behind the car rental agencies were full, the main lot was full, and cars were parked in the mud behind the paved lot.

    • Same here. Keith you have been lucky, or we have been unlucky!

    • People park in the mud because they don’t want to walk from the other area. I was there this morning, there were lots of places to park. Other folks can do as they please, of course, but I’ll be continuing to drive myself to the Airport. In 14 years I’ve never had an issue of any sort.

  • One can call it Penny wise Pound foolish. Why take the risk?

  • This is off topic but might be helpful. My friend made a trip to the US, He purchased some DampRid to control mold in the enclosed car. It is a hang up,fold out bag.  The top bag had the chemicals which remove the moisture from the air. The bottom bag held the water. He purchased it at Price Smart. A box of 4 bags for $10. You might find someone who will buy the extra bags you don't need. Here is DampRid's website.
