Copa performed as expected for the amount of money I was willing to spend for the flight; it wasn’t exceptional but it was not bad in any way either. The crew was good; friendly and straightforward. The food was airplane food, so no expectations there and the entertainment was lacking but that was my fault for owning an IPhone with a charging port that’s not compatible with the rest of the world. I’d fly Copa again.

Copa performed as expected for the amount of money I was willing to spend for the flight; it wasn’t exceptional but it was not bad in any way either. The crew was good; friendly and straightforward. The food was airplane food, so no expectations there and the entertainment was lacking but that was my fault for owning an IPhone with a charging port that’s not compatible with the rest of the world.

Very good, despite we had a delay because of some problems at the airport.

No boarding announcements leading to the usual confusion and people trying to board before their group number.

Left my bags in origin city on a business class ticket , spent about 2-3 days in the same clothes plus the flight .

other than a slight delay in takeoff from Panama , the flights were excellent ..... we will continue to use Copa whenever possible for flights to and from Central and South America ....

Cons: "The turbulence was really bad ! I couldn’t sleep at all !"
Pros: "Both of my flights were on time which i know sounds basic but all of the flights i’ve catched from SJO to X were late and this time my connection in Panama was only 1h15 and we got there earlier, so that was nice!"
Cons: "A bunch of seats were free and we were mostly sat all together (3 person next to each other).. With the covid situation i think it could be good to be more separate if possible"
Pros: "Crew was great. Food was acceptable. Really comfortable flight."
Cons: "Entertainment could have been better. Tvs per seat to wAtch movies what we want"
Cons: "Zero entertainment which seems like should be standard these days"
Pros: "Nice crew"
Cons: "During the boarding process in miami my carry on was “too big” to go in the over head bin, so copa members told me I had to checked it even though I never had to check my carry on before and I needed it because I was traveling with my month and a half daughter, customer service in MIA is really bad overall for international airlines going to Latin America"

I missed my plane because there was a lot of people during the migration process. The airline has the chance to care for their clients and they could get the passengers missing in the flight. I lost a day of work and Montfort transportation to go back home and go to the airport again. Unfortunately the airline doesn’t care about that. I use latam at least 4 times a year, so I guess I need to be treat better. In addition, one on my baggages didyarricw to my destination. So frustrated with this trip.

It’s been some time since I saw the plane and the cabin that old and worn out.

No air in the middle rows. Had a hard time breathing. Was dying of heat.

I loved how polite the crew was even though some of them wasn't the best with English that they still done everything they could to help me with my needs food was amazing

It was ok for the most part, it is missing something

Hostile flight attendants. Second flight with Jose so much better. Arrived 1/2 hour early. Thanks.

Liked check in process To improve: food and beverages. Not second round was offered and meal had no salad.

Check in of my luggage which needed to be paid for was excellent. Thanks to Nora

Very courteous crew, the food was good and the flight was on time.

Cons: "The flight was full and all seats were taken. It means it was impossible to maintain the required and necessary social distancing."

No water for a 5 hour flight entertainment not working seats with little room for knees when person in front of me reclined kept bumping my knees.

More than 3 hours of delay and not even a snack was given.

No comfort at all. You should add at least 1 meal or a bottle of water. I wanted to buy one sandwich and everything was gone.

At least free water in all flights Beverages are desired in international flights Luggage damages need be refund!

I paid extra for seats up front, I expected unless the beverages wold be included,

Voo longo nem mesmo água ou gelo é servido, se quiser tem que pagar. Embarque é péssimo, mau atendimento.

Pros: "The crew was nice. I had the front seats ehich were super comfortable."
Pros: "Puntualidad"
Cons: "Quise comprar un equipaje 3 dias antes, la app es malisima, trate mil vecss Imposible siempre fallaba Lleve al aerop los comorobantes e igual mw cobraron el Doble, la gerete una maleducada me trato super mal, me pidio comprobantes, le mostre y no hizo nada Horrible atencion!!!!?? Desastre"
Pros: "Flight was on time"
Cons: "Food was horrible and no drink options. I hate diet soda yuck"
Pros: "Yes, the travel was excellent, from Medellin to Bogota and from Bogota to New York, thank you so much."
Cons: "The next time I will contact you to buy my tickets to travel."
