My Sister just got back and had an interesting story about her trip down. Her flight on Copa from PTY to Guayaquil left late due to a passenger passing out (during boarding the plane). The FA's gave her some Oxygen and she recovered enough to get to her seat and the flight took off 45 minutes late. She now only had 20 minutes to make her transfer to Aeropostal. She told the FA about "having to make the connection". The pilot radioed ahead and Aeropostal employees were waiting for her in the jetway. They escorted her onto the tarmac, in through a back door to the ticket counter where she got her boarding pass, then back onto the tarmac directly to the airplane. When she walked onto the plane there was a fight between the cabin crew and a passenger. The crew threw the passenger and (his)luggage off the plane. The passenger tried to reboard the plane and there was alot of heated Spanish being spoken. The plane eventually took off less one passenger. All in all she said it made for a more memorable flight.
