Excellent video quality, information & narration (thank you for not recording that during your flight); Good non distracting background music. Nice job once again as one of the better travel vloggers out there. And I have to thank you again for not making this video about you unlike so many others (Josh Cahill's videos are all about him rather than airline spending up to 75% of the time of the video directly in front of the camera. Plus constantly whines and complains when they don't fall all over him). My final score for your video: 8.50 (out of 10).
Totally safe! I had a great time. If you care about inflight entertainment screens you may want to pay for economy plus seats if you’re in the 737 max since the others don’t have TVs. Enjoy your flight!
Man, vintage Patrick Shea videos are so wild. Not bad mind you, I enjoyed watching it and getting a peek at Copa Airlines (I've wanted to fly to Chile and Uruguay for a while now). That said, your production quality has gone up a lot in the ensuing year and change, without losing that chill vibe. 👍👍
For the second flight to Argentina, that flight was operated by a colombian crew, they shoud do the cockpit door procedure and well, panamenian crew are required to speak advanced english, not sure about the colombian crew so, these are some comments that would make you understand some things 🤷🏻♂️
In Economy Plus, it was definitely enjoyable flight. I am not sure about the normal Economy seats, especially for a red eye, but if you're flying that, be sure to let me know how it is
hey , thanks hope that Orbitz info on 7373max vs 800 is correct on this flights , 7 hr on a lie flat bed is quite different than a business class brraniff type
Fabulous to know the trick in lavatories in case of being locked up inside !! It just happened to me at my mom's place a few days ago !! Lol. It was scary ! 😨 😅
Where was your final destination? Uruguay or Chile? Copa is pretty good they are normally on time and the change in PTY is fairly painless. Hard to get a drink from them but the service is good and the price is reasonable.
Funny ,whenever I had the access to lounges in the past ( way way long time ago ! Lol ) ,I didn't think that was not much of a big deal after got used to it ,but then ,now I cannot afford business class seats anymore & miss lounges !! 😅😂🤣But,yet,very thankful for those airlines which offer real good economy seat products as well as premium economy products !! I find Virgin Atlantic & Singapore are definitely those !! I used to fly on Singapore airlines & Delta in business class. Singapore airlines were always clean & their staff were always courteous !! Though,one time a Delta airline's flight attendant was super sweet & upgraded me to the 1st class seat from my business class seat on the spot !!! I haven't flown w Copa,yet ,their business class products are looking very nice,but I am very afraid of Max series which they use a lot !! 😅 I am still looking into those to fly to Argentina in some future ,though ! 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💕💞
hey hey hey Man thank you your the best love how you do this i just get back from panama by the way of COPA i did enjoy it your the best you did convince me love love it you just keep doing it love love it all your the best .
I've travelled to san Francisco a couple times over the past couple years. Love the city and airport. I've toyed with the idea of travelling to south America and going by way of copa seems like the best way.
The lie flat seats I walked past on my first flight looked super comfortable in a 2-2 configuration. I’m hoping to try that out soon. Because their upgrade is a bid system, you could always try although some flights sell out before upgrades are available (like my first flight from SFO)
Lie flat ones !? Avianca !?? I thought they got rid of those a few years ago !? Or are you guys talking of Copa ? 😅Fill me in ! Lol.Oh...got it ! Copa ,sorry ! 😅
Copa Airlines.... COntinental PAnama sound to you? Newest planes go to US and capital cities, Piece of SH1T and older planes go to south America second cities.
you know Copa is one of those airlines that take care of public image by shutting your mouth with money, and with those 2 issues you had (airplane change and screen not working) you could write to their customer service and most likely they will respond with a voucher for like $500
Thanks ! 👍🙏After asking ,I googled it ! The confusion came from the info of certain ( COPA,etc.) I googled & clicked say Boeing 777-xxx then ,I tried to see the total ,went to the airline's website ( automatically ) ,they all showed up as MAX series !! So,I was wondering 🤔 If certain boeing is known as max even though it doesn't say so or often sqmwitched w MAX series planes ! Lol.😅
I flew Copa PTY to LIM RT in business. Older configuration. Really not at all competitive. Poor everything: lounge, inflight team, ground staff, in air hard product. It is like a less safe version of a domestic US carrier. I really like your content, but in this particular case I do not see this airline as good at all. Actually it is terrible.
@@PatrickSheaAviation I have not tried the new planes. Would like to. I am a big fan of Panama. Very cool place. Thanks for the work that you are doing! I am so impressed with your unique perspective as personified by the Fifth Freedom series. You are a true, passionate AV Geek. I love it! Off to Hong Kong next week. Flying JAL. Watched your videos. Super helpful and fun to get me ready. It’s been some years since I flew them. Looking forward to the trip. Appreciate you!
Extra helpful impressive info / very nicely presented professionally made flight review🛫

Thank you! I’m glad you liked the content!
I love how detailed this video is
This was a helpful video. I was hesitant of COPA because I did not recognize the airline but it looks safe and normal enough to me. Thanks!
Totally safe! I had a great time. If you care about inflight entertainment screens you may want to pay for economy plus seats if you’re in the 737 max since the others don’t have TVs. Enjoy your flight!
Just a tip for your next flight in COPA, if your touchscreen stopped working you can call the flight attendant and he will restart it.

If you noticed, your San Francisco flight was a CM flight, and your Argentina flight was a P5 500
Great notes! Thank you
I might be flying on Copa in February so thanks for this vid!

You're right about that outdoor terrace at SFO, it is amazing....also the lounge in Panama...that was eye opening. Wow.
Apparently the terminal 2 Copa lounge is brand new. It was amazing compared to the older one in terminal 1!
Copa offers a very regional service. Their crew and food are from all over Latin America
They are a good representation of especially Central America, even if their flag is specifically Panama
I always appreciate some good bagles at lounges ,not only airlines ones ,lounges for trains ,etc.,too -! Am I the only one ? Lol.💜
Very good narration.
Thank you!
COPA AIR follows the same safety program of United Airlines. Plus it has two Air Marshalls on every flight.
Very nice to know ! 👌 👍✈️

I follow a few other flight reviews blogs. Great video. I really want to know what those lava-looking lines are. Will check back!
Panama has THE BEST coffee ❤
I used to agree until my recent trip to Colombia, now I personally like that coffee a bit more

I went from San Francisco to Buenos Aires via Panama City. I do agree that the airport was great, especially the new terminal.
I feel copa is similar to United in themes and whatnot?? Have they used to have some kind of partnership or something?
It was from the Continental days... so kinda

Awesome man! Thanks a ton!
I ❤️ COPA!!
I've travelled to san Francisco a couple times over the past couple years. Love the city and airport. I've toyed with the idea of travelling to south America and going by way of copa seems like the best way.
I did enjoy Copa, now I gotta try their lie flat products
bummer about the plane change. any footage about the business class on Max 9? worth the extra $$ for long haul?
The lie flat seats I walked past on my first flight looked super comfortable in a 2-2 configuration. I’m hoping to try that out soon. Because their upgrade is a bid system, you could always try although some flights sell out before upgrades are available (like my first flight from SFO)
@@PatrickSheaAviation That's what Copa/Aero Mexico/LATAM have a competitive advantage.
Anoder Airlines i dont have flew whit.Great work
Its a great opportunity to save some $$ if you find yourself needing to travel within the Americas!
@@PatrickSheaAviation thanks for info
❤LOVE COPA
Flying SFO-PTY Monday and it’s listed as a sub-6hr flight. Return leg is over 7. Odd.
Headwinds can be a killer even if the flight is just slightly westbound. That’d be my thought at least
How were you able to book economy for the first leg and the second as business? Copa wouldn't let do that,
I upgraded after the fact. Tried to upgrade for the whole journey but SFO-PTY was sold out
You said Economy Plus, but I only see basic and classic on COPA's site. Did they change the name?
Hmm odd. Are you able to see them when you select your seat? I haven’t flown them in a while so I’m not totally sure unfortunately
"Economy Extra" is what they are calling the good seats now. @@PatrickSheaAviation
Copa is much better than Avianca
I am hoping to try their low flats too. That’ll be a better comparison to my Avianca flight!
Hands down!
@@PatrickSheaAviation They do have lie-flat seating on most long haul routs now.
Avianca is garbage
Lie flat ones !? Avianca !?? I thought they got rid of those a few years ago !? Or are you guys talking of Copa ? 😅Fill me in ! Lol.Oh...got it ! Copa ,sorry ! 😅
Fact: @copaair is not your regular Mozambique airlines. Copa Airlines is the best carrier in Central and South America. TRY IT.
Is Copa Airlines a dry airline?
Copa Airlines.... COntinental PAnama sound to you? Newest planes go to US and capital cities, Piece of SH1T and older planes go to south America second cities.
Did u figure out what it was
you know Copa is one of those airlines that take care of public image by shutting your mouth with money, and with those 2 issues you had (airplane change and screen not working) you could write to their customer service and most likely they will respond with a voucher for like $500
Dang... interesting strategy
I didn't know that 737-800 is Max also !? 💜🥁🐉🎤🎶✈️💞
It isn't. The 737-800 is the final pre-max version.
If you see a 737-8 or -9 those are the Max variants.
Thanks ! 👍🙏After asking ,I googled it ! The confusion came from the info of certain ( COPA,etc.) I googled & clicked say Boeing 777-xxx then ,I tried to see the total ,went to the airline's website ( automatically ) ,they all showed up as MAX series !! So,I was wondering 🤔 If certain boeing is known as max even though it doesn't say so or often sqmwitched w MAX series planes ! Lol.😅
Sorry, they confused you ,too at the time of purchasing your tickets ,too ! Lol.😅Why do they do that !? Lol.
cake and coke - now that's business class
Only the best luxury for me!
The flight attendant should know to speak english especially in case of emergency
My cousin is an FA for Copa, he came to the US to learn English so yeah they do need to know a good amount of English to be hired to work for Copa
9:42 you have that stupid thing too?!?

Fair enough. Their max’s with the lie flat seats are at least a bit better

How quick was your journey through customs? I have a trip in a few weeks with a 1hr and some change layover. (first time International traveler) 🫣
