COPA pricing

Hello experts,

I have flew on COPA mostly on award tickets. Now trying to book a revenue ticket. I saw the price going up almost every day now for the route I am purchasing...PUJ PTY MEX...is selling now only full Y class on 3rd January.
I know that there is very high demand for PUJ PTY on that dates....but is there any chance that they at least sell B class or something lower?
Basically, is the price sometimes also going down or is a one way only to increase it?

Thanks

There's a small chance since they're still selling B on a morning departure on PUJ-PTY:

In my experience, Copa fares only go one direction as you get closer to departure. Up.

no way to force as Copa uses "married segments" logic
how about D fare though? difference shouldn't be significant

Actually C and D cost the same as full Y.
The tricky part is to get to select them....hipmunk send me there, otherwise if searching for multicity on copa.com no way to select C or D. At least I could not find it...

Well contrary to this trend I just experiences something not that pleasant> decided to buy the 2k USD ticket today because it decreased by 200 USD...my reservation is in process of confirming ...and I try to simulate another reservation only to see that the price is now another 150 USD less.

Anything I can do at this stage? They suggested to refund it and pay the penalty of 85 USD but $ will return until max of 60 days. A lot to wait...

Any other options?

I tried to change the ticket and they told me that I have a credit and need to go to a Copa sales office for verification.
I do not have such an office nearby.

What should I do?Anybody was there done that?
Thanks

Are you in Mexico City? If so, Copa's office is on Reforma at the Angel de Independencia glorieta. (Actual address is Berna #6.)

There has to be another channel to work on getting a credit for a cheaper/change flight...

If you are not in a city where COPA has sales office forget about changing the ticket for a cheaper one...is not possible, they keep telling me if I change the flight I will loose the credit....and will have to pay a change fee.wow

The ticket that I bought at the beginning of october sells now for a little different schedule for 500 USD less then what I paid initially.

It is still Y class but they made it cheaper...
Seems that I pulled the trigger to early...
