Prologue:

Welcome to the return portion of my SJO-SFO trip. The first part is composed of the short leg from SJO-PTY.

After arriving at the airport I accessed the Santamaria VIP lounge which is the main premium lounge at SJO airport. At the time it allowed access to Star Alliance J pax

The lounge is reasonably comfortable divided into different areas.

I was given a voucher for a freshly made sushi roll or panini. You redeem this at the bar.

Limited buffet.

Container with tamales.

Sandwiches and wraps.

Tamal - cooked corn dough with savory fillings.

We boarded the plane and once again I had a window seat.

Take off.

Once again a light snack is served for this short flight.

Arriving in PTY. All those skyscrapers would give you the impression that PTY is the "Dubai" of Central America.

The new terminal under construction.

Hi Emile,

Having a window seat when you go to SJO or PTY is a must. ;) Thanks.

Woof Francis.

You really have an eye for details. ;)

Panama is probably the most modern capital in Central America. The first time that I arrived there I was amazed by the number of high risers that I saw from the plane.

Avgeeks always enjoy their flights no matter which cabin they sit. ;)

Merci.
