Copa Airlines

Panama back to Los Angeles. The airline was supposedly rerouted via El Salvador for refueling reasons. The other passengers and myself did not know about this till on board. Also no blankets or pillows given out. Flight arrive 1.5 hours late. Not good at all.

Nine people in my group. Flight from Dulles to Panama to Santiago Chile. Flight cancelled due to maintenance. Sat in airport for 10 hours before assignment to an alternate flight. Arrived Santiago 12 hours late. Our group lost over a 1000 US dollars in hotel and tours. We asked for compensation. COPA Airlines refused to take responsibility blaming Dulles International Airport for the cancellation. Not even a free drink on the return flight. Next trip to Chile will travel on an alternate airline.

August 8 due to a mechanical failure arrived 5 hours late at Lima and had to show up for a business meeting same morning without any sleeping. September 18. Due to mechanical failure my flight from Buenos Aires to Panama was cancelled. Missed my connexion and arrived about 8 hours late to my final destination. November 13th was coming from Santiago Chile. Due to mechanical failure we went back to Santiago after two hours in the air. Missed my connexion again and arrived 8 hours or so later. November 20th was coming from Guayaquil Ecuador. Flight was OK but then my next flight to Costa Rica got 9 hours delayed guess why mechanical failure. November 23th. Flew to Bogota my luggage did not made it until next day. December 4th flight 491 delayed (two hours they say) due to yes mechanical failure. I already missed my connexion another 8 or so hour late in the best of the cases. This is the worst airline I've ever flown.

Just took a round trip to Santiago Chile flying business class on a 737. On time departures and arrivals friendly staff and clean cabin. Food and drink service was very good.

CUN-PTY-Santo Domingo. I liked Copa very much only the seats could be better. The food was excellent and the FA very good. I recommend them and flying in latin America you should choose a good and safe airline Copa is a very good choice.

MEX-PTY-HAV return. Had to use them as due to the swine flu couldn't fly direct from Mexico. They were 737s so not too bad. The flights were full in both directions. Cabin crew were ok and food ok.
