Near gate 20 in T1, Extreme Planet is your basic travel gadget and souvenir stop.
Extreme Planet sits airside in Terminal 1 near gate 20, so it’s an easy swing-by if you’re flying Copa out of the low 20s. It runs to match typical PTY hours, generally open from early-morning departures through late-night bank flights, so you can usually hit it on both red-eyes and evening connections.
Think electronics, headphones, cables, phone cases, and some Panama-branded souvenirs rather than duty-free perfume. Prices lean airport-high: expect phone chargers in the USD 20–35 range and basic headphones around USD 25–40. You’ll also see a mix of travel pillows, eye masks, and small backpacks aimed at carry-on emergencies.
Inventory skews toward last-minute fixes, so you’ll find USB-C and Lightning cables, universal plug adapters, and power banks rated around 10,000–20,000 mAh. Snacks and bottled drinks sit at the counter, but selection is smaller and pricier than the main food court in T1. If you just need water, it’s fine; for anything more, walk 5–10 minutes toward the central food options.
There aren’t many detailed reviews pinned to Extreme Planet specifically, but PTY regulars often mention using these small electronics shops to replace dead cables between connections longer than 90 minutes. Watch your receipt for dynamic currency conversion; if they offer to charge in your home currency instead of USD, say no. One tip: if your gate changes away from 20, check the screens before heading here so you’re not doubling back across T1 with minutes to spare.
