Calgary to Panama - $532 (CB) to $658 CAD roundtrip including taxes [Nonstop Flights]

Panama

WestJet has dropped the price of their flights from Calgary to Panama down to between $532 and $658 CAD roundtrip including taxes.

The flights are nonstop both ways.

I consider $532 roundtrip to be WestJet's clickbait (CB) price because it doesn't include checked luggage or carry-on. Not exactly a realistic way to travel.

$658 roundtrip is the more realistic price because at least it includes checked luggage.

But those with the WestJet World Elite credit card can take advantage of the clickbait price as it includes free checked luggage.

How to find and book this deal

1. Start with the following Google Flights search:

Google Flights: Calgary to Panama City, Panama

- Click on the departure date box to open up the calendar view.

- Explore for the cheapest dates by adjusting the trip length at the bottom.

- Look for the dates that are $558 roundtrip.

2. At this point, there are a few different ways you can book these flights...

For $532 roundtrip. This includes *only* a personal item (something that can fit under the seat in front of you).

- Those with the WestJet World Elite credit card can still bring free checked bags and may find this fare useful.

- To book this price go to Skyscanner or Kayak

- Try the same dates you found on Google Flights.

*OR*

For $658 roundtrip. This includes a personal item and a checked bag. But not carry-on.

- To book this price click through from Google Flights to the WestJet website using the 'Ultrabasic' fare.

- While clicking through, you may notice that under 'Ultrabasic' Google Flights shows a checked bag as $138. This is incorrect.

Once you click through to the WestJet website and go through a few pages into the booking process you'll see that you can add a checked bag for $100 roundtrip.
