It's still a little confusing then why I was told I can only fly to NY specific days since they seem to have multiple flights a day.
You need to stop/connect in Panama both directions if you want to fly with Copa. There is a stopover program if you want to stay for more than 24 hours in Panama
PTY-MBJ is only 3 times a week, hence why you were probably told that they only operate your flights on certain days (even though yes they do operate PTY-JFK numerous times daily)
