Reviews of the top airlines flying from Panama to Costa Rica
We were made to check our carry-on luggage because it did not fit the measurements. That’s what we were told, but I saw plenty of carry-on luggage on the plane that was the same size as ours

Get attendance need to be better educated about flight policies and and how luggage is transferred and checked
Flight delayed, luggage delayed. I am still waiting for my luggage after 2 days arrival of Lima.
Bad. Sits didn´t match from boarding pass versus real confoguration on the plane. Copa people order to put hand baggage on checked baggage even when we do not wanted
Flight Crew Review The crew was absolutely amazing from start to finish! They were friendly, professional, attentive, and genuinely made the flight feel comfortable and enjoyable. Every interaction was pleasant, and they went above and beyond to make sure passengers were taken care of. You could really tell that they cared about providing great service. I truly appreciate their kindness and professionalism and would be happy to fly with this crew again!
stood in line to check in luggage for nearly an hour. very poor service and not excusable
Orderly boarding, priority for platinum members, courtesy drinks from business class even when we were seating in economy.
Same as the previous flight as far as comfort and food. Entertainment didn’t have a watchable screen so everything would need to be watched on your own device in which they didn’t have a charging port that accommodated my iPhone. Seats were very uncomfortable. Staff was very friendly.
Boarding was a mess, they call all priority members without distinction so gold, platinum, silver were all mixed together in a long line which defeats the purpose
Check in person said there would be lunch. We were first class passengers and lunch was chips.
I like the attention you gave us in Guatemala due to the loss of the flight coming to El Salvador. It was a nice experience. Thanks a lot
This was my first time flying with you guys and my very last! This was the most horrible experience!!! There was not even tv in the plane! How cheap can this airline be!!! I paid so much for my suitcase!!! I would never fly with this airline again! The crew are very rude!
They should provide water to passengers who ask for it
Here we have another airline flying to Guatemala but doesn't have a plus or a less, just in the middle. Why? Well, first we don't have even free water Movie selection is poor Seats don't recline in some places Food selection is carb based Forgot to mention, customer service on the web is the worst. Good things; Very reliable on schedule Kind crew
I couldnt recline the seat. Other than that crew was very attentive and helpful. Thsnk you
Poor In food , poor in entertainment , passengers don’t get for free not even water
My fly was cancelled so i run to the airport and fight for my fly Thank god at the end was good
GOL made the flight experience a true delight. Everything was smooth, from the check in process, to the disembarking moment.
This is the Spirit of Latino travel. And don’t even get me started on customer service.
Voo longo nem mesmo água ou gelo é servido, se quiser tem que pagar. Embarque é péssimo, mau atendimento.
