We fly again with Copa Airlines six years later and today I am going to tell you how your service is, Customer Support, foods, cost of carry-on and hold luggage, as well as all the information that a traveler must know to fly with this airline to Panama or via the Hub of the Americas.

Flying with Copa from Quito to Panama

On the occasion of participating in a press event of the airline in Panama, I traveled again with Cup after several years of not doing it, so it was a perfect opportunity to compare how is your post pandemic service.

But first and for many more details of this flight, I share them on Flight Report now available on YouTube channel:

In this opportunity, by not traveling with hold suitcase, I didn't go near the airline counter, but these are available in the international zone B of the Quito Airport.

At the boarding gate they called me to check my passport and that it is valid for the trip.

The plane I traveled on was in excellent condition., with seating comfortable and spacious, which is a characteristic of Copa in general in its service. This flight was made in the Boeing 737-700 with registration HP-1377CMP that has operated in Copa and in Wingo, have 20 years since its first flight in the factory Boeing. configured for 126 passengers in two classes with space for 12 passengers in Business and 114 en Economy.

On this particular plane, there are no entertainment options on board, but in the Boeing 737-800NG and MAX, the airline offers an inflight entertainment system with a variety of movie options, series, music and games to make the flight time go by faster.

In terms of food, the airline offered a food and beverage service on board, including two snacks and soft drinks in economy class. While in Business a more refined snack was also offered, more drinks of your choice, with the difference that in this area alcoholic beverages are offered as part of the rate.

At the invitation of the airline, I was able to experience both services, both economic and executive, so that you can see the differences.

Service in Economy.

About the costs of hand luggage and hold, The airline allows one carry-on bag up to 10 kilos (22 pounds) at no additional cost and one checked bag of up to 23 kilos with an additional cost ranging from $40 the first piece, depending on the destination and the class of ticket that has been purchased. Remember that some higher fares include baggage, consult the conditions of your rate.

The space between seats is very good in Copa.

What's more, the airline provides detailed information on the entry and exit requirements of each country, as well as recommendations and security measures for the trip in your app, I highly recommend that you download it, since they will be able to manage their entire trip there, acquire suitcases extras, select a seat and what I liked the most, receive notifications about the flight status in real time.

Panama no longer has any sanitary requirements nor is it mandatory to wear a mask. You will only have to fill out the customs form and nothing else.

In summary, the flight with Copa Airlines was a positive experience in terms of service, Customer Support, service (though basic, but that increases according to the duration of the route) and punctuality. What's more, the airline offers a wide range of services and options for each of the travelers.

In descent and approach to Panama City you can see hundreds of ships waiting to cross the channel. Incredible!

It is always amazing to see all the number of flights leaving from Panama. Enviable.

An additional topic, Copa Airlines now operates in the new Terminal 2 of the Tocumen Airport, so if they fly with this airline they will have to take this into account, since the delivery of hold luggage is carried out only in this terminal. But if they do not bring a hold suitcase, they can leave by Terminal migration 1.

Pay attention to the information on migration and baggage claim if your final destination is Panama.
