Also, does Copa have a lounge/contract lounge at JFK for Biz Class pax?
Thanks!
I love COPA - frankly, that's the reason I stay with OnePass. Upgraded EVERYTIME on EVERY segment (now I jinxed myself for next week!)
I only go to Colombia, not BA, but the service is good on COPA. On the outbound flight JFK-PTY, they serve breakfast about 3 hours into the flight as everyone is sleeping.
You got me thinking about lounge access - not sure if they have or if it's open that early. I get to JFK just as close to 4am as possible and by the time I get to the gate it's about 4:20 with boarding imminent.
Check your departure time!!! I'm pretty sure that after Sunday's switch to daylight savings, the JFK-PTY segment tales off at 6am and gets in at 1:43am instead of 12:43am.
I'm taking COPA on Wednesday, but through MCO instead of JFK. The routing worked well as I can take a 12:30 flight from EWR-MCO and MCO-PTY arrives with an hour to make my MDE connection - if I took the JFK 5am to PTY, I'd would have had an all-day layover. All for the same price. (Plus I get into EWR before 11pm, as opposed to 1:43 at JFK).
We'll see if I get upgraded on my EWR-MCO-EWR. I know COPA will come through!
