Yesterday I FedExed the documentation for the five remaining unposted flights to Latin Pass. The ones that didn't post were Aces (2), Aeropostal, Copa, and Lacsa.

Surely the "prize" boarding pass is the one from the Copa GUA-MGA flight:

This pass was printed on a printer whose ribbon was several lifetimes past its intended use - at first glance the bp looks blank! To top this off, the ticket agent at GUA conveniently affixed the exit sticker to the bp *directly* above the airline and flight information... only the city pair was not covered, and nothing else on the boarding pass gave even a hint that this is from Copa!

So.... I carefully peeled away the exit sticker, trying not to think about the half million miles that were riding on my peeling skills. Once off the bp was still covered by a residue of glue. Fortunately this proved to be the kind that can be rolled off with a rubbing motion. With a bit more work I had a bp that (while showing some wear) had all key information barely readable.

I found that xeroxing the bp under a "dark" setting will make the flight info even more readable.

I hope that Latin Pass also finds this readable, and that all of you have an easier time getting credit for your flights!
