No experience flying COPA here. Looking at a return flight MDE-PTY-DEN with a 1-hour layover in PTY. From what I read they have extra screening for US-bound flights at the gate. Is a 1-hour connection enought time for a flight to the US? We would be in J, so I think that allows us to go to the front of the security queue at the gate. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks so much.
