stood in line to check in luggage for nearly an hour. very poor service and not excusable

Some of the Air hostesses are not that friendly. Need improvement

Copa stranded us ans then tried to charge us thousands to leave Panama.

Friendly flight team and seamless travel from one stop to next.

Just a minor inconvinient with weather delay! but not Copa's fault

Copa delayed the fight three times. We ended up flying about 24 hours after the original time.

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

Captain and Crew were excellent. The Boeing 737-800 was showing its age. In flight entertainment system was sluggish and my Business Class seat on the outbound flight had some mechanical issues. Only real problem was the location of the Gate in Panama PTY. It was a 40 minute hike from Security to the Gate. There should have been some sort of warning about the distance.

landed in panama it was in terminal one. We had to take a bus to terminal two for customs. Then back to terminal one. It was very frustrating. Then, on the way back from panama it was the same situation. We had to go back and forth between terminals to check in and drop our bags and then to board. When we were leaving, we had to wait in line for the boarding area and go through another gate security process. They told the bottles of water and coffee were bought while in line in the airport after we passed the main security. Ridiculous (and expensive). A much better communication system is needed.

the planes are not modern there are no phone chargers
