CO to PTY
I did a search but didn't turn anything up either recently or that wasn't talking about COPA. I'm curious what CO F is like to PTY. Just standard domestic type service or a bit more? Taking a flight friday and this is my 1st time going south. Normally just travel on CO to Europe.
Thanks,

I went EWR-PTY two years ago, and from what I recall it was essentially domestic FC on a 738. IAH isn't much closer, and the flight is actually a bit shorter than a transcon.

Iah-pty
I'm on Saturday's flight. 737-800 domestic 1st class configuration. Real easy connections in PTY if you're connecting somewhere else. Copa onward is really nice for what it is.

From my experience, the flights to Central America business destinations (like PTY) have FC service that is more like a Transcon than regular Domestic FC. You'll get the nicer setup/heavy silverware, appetizer/salad, option of sparkling wine, and sometimes the sundae or a separate dessert.
