Multi city flights/layovers from Guatemala-Panama-Bolivia with COPA airlines

7 years ago
Hi everyone, i want to get from Guatemala city to Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia probably with COPA airlines (with 1 stopover in Panama city). I have found lots of combination deals with the total prices ranging from 300-400USD (one-way).

To get these lower prices, I had to use the multi city feature on COPA's website. Otherwise, the price is just above 600USD for the same route (without the lengthy layovers). The discount seems to kick in if you at least spend 1 day/night in Panama. Is that how it works?

The cheapest/shortest combination I found:

Guatemala City (GUA) to Panama City (PTY)
April 1st, 2017
COPA 359
Dep: 4:15 pm
Arr: 7:37 pm
2h 22m
Boeing 737
Economy (E)
Meal

21 hour layover

Panama City (PTY) to Santa Cruz (VVI) —
April 2nd, 2017
COPA 127
Dep: 4:08 pm
Arr: 10:03 pm
4h 55m
Boeing 737
Economy (S)

$327US one way

For the same price there is another flight combination leaving Panama 7 days later, in case I want to spend a week in Panama. How many days do you think I should spend in Panama city? I can spend 21 hours in the airport or a week in Panama. The price will be the same according to their website. Since i am eager to get to my final destination in Bolivia, i am leaning toward spending the night in the airport or a 1 night or 7 night stay in Panama city.
