To be honest, when I got this email, I had a hard time figuring out the downsides. I'm a connectmiles member, but only recently have I accrued any miles there, and that was more just cuz I didn't wanna send AM miles to my AS account.

The only upgrades I've ever had on Copa were the auction ones, I don't fly them that often, but it did seem like a nice change to be able to go from a promo fare to biz, so that one seemed good to me, if I were to attain status (might hit silver, but doubt I'd ever get any higher).

This one stings, I loved to 100% mileage on the cheapo fares. I wonder if Aeroplan will drop their earnings, IIRC they are still 100% across the board with CM fares.

I've checked 3 bags once in my life. One of them was just a big piece of artwork I was taking to my second home. Never had a bag over 50lbs, hell, I doubt I've ever had a bag over 35lbs. This doesn't affect me at all. Plus not knowing that the limit was 70 before, I actually thought this was an upgrade from 1 bag to 2 lol.

I didn't really know what to make of this one, the upgrades at CM and AV have always confused me a bit.

Loved the addition of upgrades from the lower fare buckets. Seemed like a good change.

For me, none of these changes really sting except the mileage earning.
