They also said F checked in full, and it was the only segment I hadn't been upgraded to initially.... fortunately they made that happen as I was boarding.
How big was the package - because they tout their courier service. Surprised they couldnt help you.
I actually took two bags on with me and I really should have checked one, but it was no problem. Worked out great as I spent the night in Panama with my luggage.
As an addendum, I took a tour of the Panama Canal, then returned to the hotel, had a free lunch, then went across the street to the Habanos Cafe across the street from the Marriott. Smoked a great Cohiba and drank Cuba Libres while sprawled out on a couch in the back room watching the first half of the Eagles-Falcons.
Crossed the street to the hotel and the driver honked his horn, letting me know he was there. Check out was 5 minutes and 20 minutes later was at the airport.
And to top it off, I was upgraded after all to the same seat - 1F. Im now in the PC, the Eaglñes just wrapped up the NFC, and the flight is scheduled to leave on time at 7:30pm.
Sometimes things just work out. . .
