I need advice. I know that I should know better than allowing myself to be bumped off a flight for a voucher, but I wasn't in a great hurry, and so I thought, "Why not? Save money on my next flight."

Ok. Here's the problem. The nearest Copa airport is LAX, about 200 miles from my home. The message that I get is that I have to redeem the voucher in person. I guess that would be no big deal for an airline that flies into every airport, but I think Copa only flies into about 5 in the USA.

Making a special trip just to redeem the voucher would be time consuming and definitely not cost effective.

I will be flying through LAX on 6/18, but during my 3 hour layover Copa's office will not be open.

I know I shouldn't make a big deal about this, but $350 is $350.

Does anyone have anything to offer that could help me out?
