I see no evidence that COPA has a economy plus either? I'm on the 737 700 3 segments and the 737 800 1 segment.
It sounds to me like you are returning to the USA right before Thanksgiving. If that is correct, I think your chances are decent. Few business travelers are going to be heading to the USA right before a holiday week. For the outbound, early November is pretty good too.
I would think your chances are very good on PTY-Quito, as the South American routes have fewer elites overall.
The downside is that you are on the -700 for three legs. It only has 12 seats in business vs. 16 in the -800.
Nothing is ever sure. My UG history has actually been better this year as a PLT than last year as a 1K.
