The map distance is about 2,208 miles. Without a regular nonstop from EWR to PTY, plan on 5 hours of flying plus a connection. Filter results by total trip time, not only by the number of stops.
EWR and PTY typically share the same standard-time offset (America/New_York). Daylight saving can still split them for part of the year — check the local times on the itinerary, not a screenshot from last month.
Most Newark–Panama City journeys connect rather than fly nonstop from EWR. Timed one-stop itineraries often bank at Miami International (MIA), George Bush Intercontinental (IAH), Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International (ATL). That is a pattern, not a promise for your dates. On results, sort by fastest if you care about layover pain, or cheapest if you do not.
