No, that is not true. You can upgrade from any paid fare on Copa (both you and the companion). I have bought the cheapest possible fare on Copa a number of times and been upgraded almost every time. They honestly seem to have the least amount of elites, my wife is a silver and hasnt missed an upgrade. The only upgrades I have ever missed on Copa are LAX-PTY, PTY-MEX, and PTY-GRU. I used to fly Copa a lot to South America, they are a great airline. Enjoy
