The last point could be a bit of a hit to my travels.
"Family fare" has nothing to do with family travelling. It's the word used to describe "groups" of boking codes. On Copa it is Economy Promo, Economy Extra, Economy Flex and so on, each being a "family".

I rarely fly on Economy Promo fares (they seem very hard to find), and my qualification is usually segment based more than mileage based, so it really won't change much for me. But it's worrying that we already see steps towards "deluting" the program.
