I'm putting together a trip to GYE and it seems that the best price/itinerary I can get that will yield WP miles would be CO to MIA and then COPA to PTY-GYE. I've never flown COPA and would love to hear what experiences my fellow Worldperkers have had in flying COPA. Thanks for anything you can share.

Plenty of threads in the CO forum. Do a search.

Upgrademe, if you look into the CO forum under "COPA," 76 threads come up, none of which appear to have anything to do with service at COPA. If you look under "COPA service," there are several threads that have to do with whether or not you will get upgraded at the gate and one that gushes effusively about toppings for ice cream in first class. None of which answers my question.

I lurked on these boards for a long time before I ever bothered to ask a question or venture an opinion because I felt that some of the contributers simply lived to shoot down newbies. Well, I DID look up my question in the NW forum before I posted the question and all I saw were things about getting upgrades ... basically the same information as I got at the CO forum. I did NOT look into all 76 threads over at CO because I don't have time to look at 76 threads most of which have nothing to do with my question. If you do not have an experience with COPA, why post at all? If you do have an experience with COPA to share, why not simply post that? I apologize to anyone on this forum if my questions are offensive to you because they may have already been answered, albeit buried in an unrelated thread from 6 months ago. I don't have my archealogical tools on me right now to dig for the minutiae.

Again, I repeat my question. Has anybody had any experience with COPA that they would like to share? Thank you again for any constructive help.

Threads like "COPA Airlines - How Is Their Service" and "COPA Airlines experiences" qualify as "minutiae"?

OK, so I didn't know about the archives. I'm still new here. It still doesn't excuse rudeness. Thank you, however, for posting the links. We can't all be as brilliant as you are.

actually, i would still like to hear anyone's more recent information about services on COPA. the most recent thread posted by Mr. Minnesota "Nice" was about 17 months old.....not exactly reason to be rude. and i am from minnesota too!
