It should be remembered that Copa carries out the boarding process by groups, así that only get up the moment your group has been called over the airport loudspeakers, so that theí the process is más orderly and calm for everyone.

The occupationón of the flight was 129 passengers who traveled on this flight and from what I could see, nails 10 people haveímasters final destination Panamá, while the rest were connections especially to Norteamérica. Taking into account that it is low season, surely in the months of más high demand the flight will beá prápractically full, so I hope to be able to announce más forward the increase in frequencies, what a dutyíto be the stepólogical how well this route is going.
Regarding the service on board, I was able to experience the cabin on this occasion Business, where the service includesó a welcome drink, a snack of nuts with another soft drink and as a main course you caníto choose between a salt wrapón and chicken tamale along with soft drink or alcohol. Opté for the second optionón, which was very good in flavor and porción.
