Add'l Copa capacity to/from PTY during World Cup?
Does anyone have any idea if Copa will add more capacity to/from PTY during the World Cup to either MAO or REC? I would imagine lots of Americans want to see the US team play in those two cities on June 22 and June 26 respectively. Pretty easy to get mileage tix to PTY, but quite hard onwards.

Copa doesn't have a lot of extra fleet to add capacity. They'd basically have to reduce capacity on other routes to do so. They also don't have larger planes that they could substitute. Any addition capacity to the World Cup (IMHO) will be minimal by Copa.
