I hope I'm aiming this question at the right board (since COPA shares MP, and I didn't see a separate board, I took a shot).

I'm flying IAD-PTY-SXM next Thursday, which involves a 19 hour (overnight) layover in Panama City. We've rented a car, getting a hotel, etc. I was wondering if anyone knew if we'd collect our luggage in PTY then recheck the next morning, or since its a connecting flight, if they would keep our luggage and we should pack clothes in our carryon instead.

Thanks!
