We flew from Panama City to Lago Bay for a family trip and it was great aerial tour, about a 45 minute ride. It was comfortable for all members of the family and plenty of room for baggage.

Lago Bay on prior visits was a grueling 5-6 hour drive from Panama City. What a difference the Sky Max one hour flight made!!
