Is there an airport departure tax?

I read somewhere in the guide about a $40 airport tax when we leave Panama, is that  true?

Yes, but it's included in your air fare if Panama is your destination - you'll notice at least for Americans a large amount of fees and taxes added to the base fare.  I assume it's the same for the UK.  I've never made any payment at the airport to depart in the numerous times I've flown to Panama.

You paid it, believe me.  The airline collected it from you and remits it.

it's in the ticket under taxes

Let's just say that I didn't PHYSICALLY pay anything that detained from going in or out of the country...Sheesh...whatever!
