Is 35k LIM-LAX/SBA Business class a no brainer?
I am not sure if this go in this sub or on Copa sub. Mods, I apologize in advance if this isn't the right place.
So..I am booking an almost last minute (7/10/2017) LIM-LAX/SBA. Cheapest economy revenue ticket is $493. On United site I see the same flight for 35k miles + $50.XX in business.
From what I gather Copa's biz class isn't lavish. Considering the economy award more than biz award, is 35k biz award ticket no-brainer here?

Copa business is equivalent to UA domestic first class.
The service is OK and the food is OK also. I would say all in all 35K for last minute to Lima is definitely a good deal

PTY-LAX is the 738B with the barcaloungers with footrests and 49" pitch . . . much better than domestic F on a US carrier.
I would absolutely snag the J award.
