Just watched your video, My mom is flying this weekend with Copa (first time). Glad I know it's important to get all documentations done. She flying solo for the first time (without me) and i know they would help her.
thank you so much for your insight. I could not find any information on the actual website so I turned to youtube and I found your video. I am flying to Curacao in June and was worried that I would have to pay an arm and a leg for bags. Thank you for the content this was a life saver!
Yeah me and my family we have been flying with Copa for years and every time at the gate for the past I’ll say 20 years They have always done a secondary search always it never fails that’s why we never buy anything in the airport that we know we won’t finish because they don’t allow you to bring it on the plane because it’s an international flight
It’s because in Tocumen airport, arriving and departing passengers get mixed. So, if you go to US or some Europe cities, you need to pass security again to check for liquids as TSA rules since you can be coming from other airport. You don’t see that in any other airport, because the passengers don’t get mixed. Its and advantage for taking connecting flights since you go directly to your gate and don’t have to pass immigration and then enter again.
Love your vibe. Copa Airlines is the flag carrier for Panama Next time you are coming to Panama let me know I can be your tour guide. ❤️. Stay safe. Oh the second search is actually the airline requires that on flights leaving from Panama up to this day I am not sure
Little more info. No Copa doesn’t fly only to Central America cities. Copa serve so far about 14 cities in USA, they added ATL, Baltimore and Austin, TX. they fly to all mayor cities in the rest of the Americas from Mexico to Argentina and the Caribbean 😉. Copa Airlines have been awarded First airline punctuality and they remained in first place for latin america airlines.
Hi, I'm traveling alone for the first time and using Copa as well. Did you pay for your bags online or in person? When I attempted to pay online, I wasn't able to.
Copa Airlines Passenger Service Agent Here 🙋🏻♂️ Yes! Our cheapest / most restrictive fare prices still allow you to have 1 personal bag/backpack and 1 carry-on bag (up to 10kg). Just remember to avoid carrying forbidden articles such as sharp objects, liquids over 100ml, corrosive sprays or glass objects and you'll be good to go 👌😉
@@hecdavid11does Turkish airlines hand me Boarding pass including copa airlines connecting flight as the ticket booked at ones in Turkish airlines or i have to collect boarding pass at panama airport for Turkish airlines
BUYER BEWARE!!! Copa stole two international airline tickets from us that we "insured" but apparently civil unrest causing airport closure does not constitute a need for a refund. If you purchase from this airline, you are at risk of losing your money like we did. $1000 stolen for a flight they did not perform. ]
Copa is not a budget carrier like Spirit, they’re actually one of the best carriers in Latin America. Their prices are actually pretty good, and crew members are pretty knowledgeable and friendly .
Did I mention they were a budget carrier? I would agree that they aren’t in the same category like Spirit, i have no issues flying spirit, but Copa reminded me of Southwest, great prices, great service, thanks for watching 😊
Wow thanks for your video. I accidentally landed on it and it is so helpful because I am a first time flyer with Copa Airline coming up soon. Your explanation of the baggage and everything is so helpful and answered many of my questions. I feel much better about my trip to Panama City now. Again thanks so much!!!
I flew on Copa when I went to the DR a few years ago and loved it. They did not speak English, but the service was just as good as First Class. We had complimentary real meals and drinks which included alcohol. I had forgotten about that little security check at the gate, weird, but whatever. I had no idea what to expect at the time, but was very pleased. 🌎
They make that security checking at the gate due to US regulations. Since Panama City is a huge hub for them to connect with many destinations in US (Miami, Orlando, Las Vegas, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Washington) they need to be sure people in connection is not getting banned items into the plane. I also found it weird and that was the explanation I got from one of the Copa Air staff members.
COPA is the bomb! A bit expensive to Ecuador (JetBlue & Spirit are much cheaper) but awesome service and the meals are served with real utensils LOL. 🌎 BTW now you just got to come further south! Guayaquil is in a direct line from Miami... come one you know you wanna!
I really appreciate this video. Now , I’m a delta airlines guy but after looking at this video along with other research I’ve done, I choose Copa Airlines as my carrier for my Panama trip and other trips moving forward.
🌎 Copa is awesome, they fly to most Central America except Belize and most of the Caribbean, most of South America with very few exceptions. In the north they fly to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Denver, Vegas, New Orleans, Chicago, Boston, montréal and Toronto, New York, DC, Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa and Miami 3 times a day
Thanks bestie, using them in october, so I can carry my carry on suitcase and a duffel bag the size of yours with personal stuff (and clothes and shoes that can't fit in carry on)? 😭

I believe carry on was included I never check a bag. 😉 safe travels 💜
With the Covid form.. What website did you go to?🌎
Are they still asking for covid forms?
The only problems i have with them
Their website and app mobile suck. Sometimes i had to call to make a reservation because their website usually fail
😮 I don’t recall using the app so I don’t much experience with this.
🌎🌏🌍
Thanks for watching in full ☺️
So with the most restrictive price I'm still able to take my Carry on bag + My laptop backpag with some small clothes and snacks for the travel?
With the lowest ticket I had was able to take a personal item/bag and carry on.

@@hecdavid11 Is it a combined weight of 10 kg for both the carry-on & the personal bag?
@@kelsyannbraham1093 Nope, just the carry-on must be max 10kg, we don't weigh the personal bag or take it into account for the 10kg

Thanks bestie, using them in october, so I can carry my carry on suitcase and a duffel bag the size of yours with personal stuff (and clothes and shoes that can't fit in carry on)? 😭
Yes ma’am , safe travels!
I saw on their website the bag can't be longer than 10 inches? 😭😭😭
How come you got through with thus one?
🌎 did you pick your seat at the gate? Or did you just allow the airline to give you a random seat? Was it extra?
Thanks for watching in full! We didn’t pick a seat, we just let the airline do what they do 😉
The best flight I’ve ever taken to Colombia 🇨🇴 😂😅

Very helpful video. Just booked a flight to Belize and this reassured me that it should be a good travel experience! Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! How did your flight experience go?
@@traveltingzwithkira It was a great experience. Seamless and the food on the plane was good! lol
Can somebody 6 feet 4 inches fit comfortably?
I can’t say from experience but I’m a tall women and was fine.
Hi can you bring a duffle bag instead of a carry on case?
I’m pretty sure you can as long as the measurements are within the guidelines.
