I talked with the manager of Copa yeaterday in Cartagena and she has heard of a rumor of Pty to Pop, boy my eyes lite up on that. Maybe in six month. Many new gates are now opening up in PTY (re-doing the whole airport, like a double in size) AND yes I flew first class on their brand new ERJ-190 yesterday to Pty (seat 1A is all by itself, tons of room and the best) from Ctg. Steward said they love the plane -- only small plane that has 100% fly-by-wire and economy is two by two (their 737's are three by three) so NO MIDDLE SEATS!!). I love the smell of a new plane (as a car, know what I mean).
Easy to get upgraded if your a one-pass elite member. Gee, if true I could visit both homes on one ticket. I live in LA, have a home in Sosua and Ctg (best of both worlds).
Fingers crossed ...
