The service was excellent -- all the FA's were helpful and made periodic trips through the cabin. Never had to actively seek one out if I needed something. I don't remember much about the meals -- IIRC, they weren't anything to write home about, but were definitely adequate. I certainly don't have anything bad to say about the food... As for the IFE, it was pretty much the same as what you find on CO transcons. Fairly recent movie releases, and then some mediocre but short promo/ad type segment for Panama that I got to see a couple of times.

Yeah, as BenjaminNYC said, it tends to get a little claustrophobic. It's not nearly as easy to walk around, the ceiling/overhead bins are lower, and it's just not as "open" a feeling.
Oh, one more thing: JFK-PTY is about
800 mi shorter than LAX-PTY, which I imagine will make the trip a little better, especially on the return.
