It is not a good experience with Copa Airlines: flight delay, luggage delay, etc.

We where skipped for this flight will not head to Panama until tonight..

There should be a warning regarding the quality of the aircraft on the website as we reserve the tickets. There was no TV or any type of screen onboard. The wifi they offer is good for nothing. Traveling 9 hours straight with kids and no type of entetainment was horrible. I wish I had been informed prior so I could buy a ticket with another airline. The food was a joke too. A very tiny portion per passenger. They also charged $100 per checked bag. With United I used to pay $60. So, fair to say that I wont be flying Copa anymore. Their aircraft was super old, outdated, no entertainment, with nearly no onboard food.

Very strict carry on rules meant most of the plane had to gate check their luggage. As is often the case had things that were broken because of this, but I appreciated not being charged to gate check. Otherwise good flight and great crew once on the plane

I liked the meatloaf the chicken was awful but the plane was on time and got there and the staff was nice.

Boarding was quick & efficient; they gave boarding groups due priority; staff & air crew were very cordial and helpful, pleasant flight.

Did upgrade, travel in business it was great (more room I could sleep)

Placed us in the last rear row of the plane so could not recline seats because of the rear wall, and also made it more of a tight space when the passenger in front reclined their seat. While understand seat assignments, every passenger should be afforded a reclining seat. The odor control scent from the restrooms was overwhelming strong. My wife and I could not deal with it, and she suffered a terrible headache as a result. I kept getting hit by the crew since I was on the ilse seat. No apologies, nothing. They made me feel like I was supposed to take the beating for a 3 hr flight.

This airline doesn’t five and dime you for everything. I do think that a checked bag should be included in every fare.

LOCKED MY BAG WITHOUT CONSENT. Had to have my zippers cut upon arrival in Costa Rica.

This airline always trick us so we end up paying again for the luggage’s. This airline is worthless and take advantage of travelers .

Now days most airlines flying to Central America have a really poor service, but if you buy first class they will treat you better. I miss those days when flying was fun.

Friendly staff at all very easy check in and organize process

Horrible airline, upgraded to sit on seats made of stone. Staff were rude and on top of it they charge an arm and a leg for luggage 🧳 never again

The seats are the worst I upgraded to premium big mistake and it seems like no one likes there job very unpleasant

they don’t have TV Seat to Type in space

I was assigned the last seat in the last row directly in front of the bathrooms at check-in when there were plenty of open non-upcharge seats available. That seat should not be given out unless it’s the absolutely last one available. I had traveled/waited for over 10 hours and to get that seat on my final of 3 flights from Rio was a slap in the face.

I bought the ticket as a work/ business issued ticket, meaning my company probably payed extra for a flight of I bought by myself I would avoid let gol manage the entire reservation with its partner America. The App from gol and America were not able to properly handle check-in and information about the trip. Creating unnecessary confusion, also preventing properly define seats even by paying the fee. The boarding on Miami was in a very disconnected gate, that had limited access to other gates and food. So, I would avoid this route in the future in my travel. There are better routes.

The pilots landing and taking off was very bad on the first flight, the second one taking off was great but landing was also rough

The check in and on the ground experience is very poor. Their online check and trip management is the worst I have ever seen and they have long lines to check in at the airport, technology is glitchy/unusable and have exorbitant baggage fees. The flight itself is fine, although the food is about what you would expect and their was no functioning entertainment for an international flight.

My experience with this flight was extremely negative and resulted in serious financial and personal consequences. The flight departed with a significant delay, which caused me to miss my international connecting flight. As a direct result of this delay — which was entirely beyond my control — I was unable to reach my final destination on time, causing me to lose a previously scheduled hair transplant surgery that had been arranged months in advance. This was not a minor inconvenience. The surgery involved: • A reserved operating room • Medical and technical staff scheduled specifically for that date • Surgical instruments prepared in advance • Strict scheduling that does not allow for easy rescheduling Due to the airline’s delay and poor handling of the situation: • I lost already paid international flight tickets • I was forced to purchase new tickets, incurring duplicate expenses • I spent over six additional hours in airports, under stressful conditions • I incurred unexpected costs for meals and transportation • I lost a medical opportunity that cannot be easily recovered, along with the emotional distress associated with it Although the airline covered one night of hotel accommodation, this did not address the real impact of the delay, nor the significant damages caused by missing a critical medical procedure. The lack of punctuality, planning, and effective solutions reflects a serious lack of responsibility toward passengers, especially when international connections and time-sensitive medical commitments are involved. I do not recommend this airline for travelers with important schedules, medical appointments, or critical connections. In my case, the delay did not merely cause inconvenience — it resulted in the loss of a surgery and substantial financial damage.

I was not able to get on the flight due to delays out of Philadelphia. I arrived in MIA at 10:30pm and there was no one at the GOL Desk. Is there any flight credit available for this flight?

Lost luggage, people are not very nice to help you , I was just instructed to fill out a baggage claim online, they were not helpful when I had additional questions after I completed the form on my phone.

It was really bad. Inexperienced and rude people during check-in in Miami, a small and uncomfortable airplane, and problems with the airline caused me to lose my connection flight in Brasilia. Terrible experience!

Obviously it would be better if we had screens available.

The plane was fine and the crew was very nice. Even though we bought our tickets eight months in advance and had seats reserved, they changed our seats. Instead of being in seats 7E and 7F, we were separated and put in two middle seats away from each other. When checking in, the attendant put us in an exit row together, but 10 rows back from where we had reserved. But you have to be younger than 60 to be in an exit row. So when everyone else boarded we were moved to last row 33, right next to bathrooms.

Good flight, excellent personnel; poor comfort, small seats, big cost.

Cabin was bone dry, no humidity whatsoever, and pretty warm; and beverage service didn't start for at least an hour. I had to go to the back for water and the FAs tried telling me it was always this way for all Miami flights, which is complete nonsense. Avoid the MAX8 like the plague.

When there are many passengers who are going to miss a connecting flight, they always say please let them off first. But the flight attendant never manages that part of the process. It would be helpful if they would repeat that and stress that to the other passengers.

My boarding pass said gate E5. I arrived at gate E5 by 12:45pm. At 2:10pm, I received a phone call stating I was supposed to be at gate D37. They would not wait for me to get there (by the way, the plane was still there when I got to gate D37, but everything was closed and no one was at the door). The next flight at 7:40pm was sold out; was told I'd be put on the 9:47pm flight. I was so stressed, I became chokey (apparently I have mild asthma). By the grace of God, a lot of begging, and the customer service rep taking pity on me, I was able to get on a 4:50pm flight to Philadelphia.

Our flight was delayed to Louisville. What made this worse was they did not have another flight attendant to service the flight. This caused an even longer delay. Then when a flight attendant did show up, she chose to "swap" flights with another flight attendant. Therefore, we had to wait longer for the other flight attendant to come to our flight. This is information that the gate attendant should not have shared. Processes and execution at American are broken. Passengers are feeling it. Fixing this starts at the top of the organization.

Flight was on time. Boarding was smooth and orderly. Flight attendants were friendly and professional. Bags came out soon after arrival.

Due to weather AA chose the poor option of redirecting my next flight to Gol airlines after 23 hours of wait. Their desk is not open during the day. Seats don’t really recline so falling asleep is a horrible challenge. Only one meal for an overnight flight. Poor experience, cheap partnership.

It was ok because it’s a short flight. The attendants weren’t friendly and didn’t serve any beverages even through they announced that they would. Also. The attendants looked messy, not presentable

There was a 6 hours delay in our departure. And yet, no compensation was offered. A company should be responsible for such a delay.

The flight was delayed 4 hours, and when we finally boarded, they told us that the fuel was only just then checked. So, we waited even longer to take off.

The worst experience I've ever had because the "people" @ Avianca wouldn't let me fly because they said I needed a round trip ticket

Deplaning was a mess, I sat in business (seats are horrible) and the front door had a problem so we had to deplane from the rear exit. The stairs were not tall enough to reach so there was a large step down from the plane to the top of the stairs.

Staff are the rudest in the industry … awful customer service … will never fly Avianca again

Seats are very tight even in Plus, no complimentary snacks or beverage

I enjoyed it! In that case, I should have been offered this choice. On my first trip to Miami, I was asked to pay $320 for my luggage just for getting it totally broken. I cannot accept this situation at all!!!!

$120 for a carry on bag !!!!!! Insane. Back-breaking seats. Do not recline. Food service is a disgrace. They give only water and a salty snack. Everything else has a price.

My fly was cancelled so i run to the airport and fight for my fly Thank god at the end was good

Terrible. Flight was delayed without explanation, airplane was in poor condition (old, dirty) and crew was not in a good mood.

No complimentary snacks food, beverage (not even water), pillow and blanket on a 6 hours long flight (including economy comfort). A low form of nickeling an diming. Lost a recurring passanger over a soda. Avianca never again.

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