Tocumen's most flexible lounge — SkyTeam, Star Alliance, oneworld and Priority Pass under one roof.
The Copa Club in Terminal 1 is the original lounge at Tocumen and the most flexible way in at the airport. It sits airside on the 2nd floor near gate 130 and accepts a broad range of access types: SkyTeam Elite Plus, Star Alliance Gold and oneworld Sapphire status, business and first-class tickets, and Priority Pass. The space is calm and modern, with soft lighting and distinct areas for dining, working and relaxing. There's a children's play area that gives it a family-friendly feel, a workstation area with desktops and a printer, shower facilities, and TV and reading material for downtime. Complimentary snacks, soft drinks, house wine, beer and liquor are served. Because Tocumen is Copa's Star Alliance hub and a major connecting point for the Americas, this lounge is a reliable stop between flights — just note it serves international departures only.
Crowding · moderate, busier at peak
A solid spot to get work done, with reliable Wi-Fi, plenty of power outlets near seating, a workstation area with desktop PCs and a printer. There are no private booths, but it's quiet enough for calls outside the busiest periods.
✓ Printer available
A self-service spread of complimentary snacks and light bites alongside hot and cold beverages, with a bar serving house wine, beer and liquor. The selection leans toward snacks and lighter fare rather than full hot meals, with some local Panamanian options.
