Riff-Raff?! Hah hah! We are proud Silver Medallions, thank you very much! (sarcasm)

Maybe like an op-up?! Just not looking forward to a middle seat MIA-PTY and then PTY-LIM. Why did I get a middle seat? Because I am flying with my wife, gave her the window she loves so much, and COPA only has 3-3 planes. Ugh.

Any potential for hot meals or free drinks because it's an international flight?

I've always gotten drinks and meals on Copa. Rather decent service, actually. Make sure that CM has your DL number in the reservation. When I went to do online check-in, is when I noticed the upgraded seats.

Interesting. I bought the tickets via "Cheaptickets.com". They are in fare class S on the way down and U on the way back.

I have already called COPA and had them add our DL numbers to the tickets as well as assign us "priority" seats. I printed the e-mail confirmations that the phone agents sent me just in case.

Since I booked via Cheaptickets.com, I suppose I will just have to check-in at the airport, right? Do they have KIOSKS at MIA?

Thanks!

That good of a flight, huh? Good to know, thanks.

I checked in online with no problem. Just make sure you have the Copa record locater.

Interesting. Did CO get a bunch of money out of the deal? Only reason I could think they'd let so much of their rights hit the road.

Really? Because when I try to view the reservation via COPA's website, it always says "this reservation cannot be viewed or changed online". I just assume it is because I bought it via cheaptickets.com.

Just finished the MIA-PTY-LIM and LIM-PTY-MIA.

First of all, COPA is great. Ontime, excellent service, just a well run airline.

Secondly, for DL Medallions, we received the priority seats (rows 5 and 6) and also priority check-in line and boarding. No upgrades for DL Medallions at any level was the word from several COPA employees.

Any recent EUA experiences for NWA Elites flying COPA?
I have a choice of DL or CM to EZE, CM is slightly more expensive--but with EUAs I'd likely go for it. Also like connecting in PTY, and the daytime flights, too.
DL's EZE flights, barring a last-minute A/C substitution, are on the old ex-GF 763s, meaning no AVOD. Yuck. With AVOD, for example, on the DL flights to GRU (on the 764s), it makes DL just bearable--ATL connections notwithstanding!
Thanks!

Nothing more recent from me. I've taken the DL flight and can't say that I liked it too much.

While CM is a good airline, if you don't get the EUA, you would be in coach on a 737 for a rather long trip (737-wise).

I have flown COPA, last summer, to UIO, and it was fine. I'm looking at a flight to EZE on COPA, but it's in Booking Code N, and I don't see that on the NWA mileage accrual list.... yet last summer, that's the booking class I flew, and we got EQMs and RDMs.
Anyone know if this has changed?
Thanks in advance!

Elite Qualifying Fare Classes
Elite Qualifying Miles at 150%: J, C, Z, Y, A, D, H
Elite Qualifying Miles at 100%: B, Q, V, L, T, K, F, S, Z
Elite Qualifying Segments: J, C, Z, Y, A, D, H, B, Q, V, L, T, K, F, S, Z

Hmm, one would think it would earn both EQM and RDM because it is a full fare code and with Onepass it earns 150% EQM.

Yes, I think so too, but nobody has replied, and NWA says they don't know! Mysterious....
