Copa F class is supposedly actually pretty good and relative to UA cheap but again that is not first hand knowledge as I use UA. They have at least a couple of flights a day with one around 10am (and some latter) so you don't have to knock yourself out by getting to PDX for a 5am flight into IAH and wait hours. Check it out.
Last time I flew through PTY, it was very easy as there was no security to go through, just like a domestic flight And the dutyfree is cheap

Don't know if Copa ever went to E+ and they have bidding for FC upgrades, though you can technically use UA's RPUs (and GPUs).
