The Copa Club is the only airline lounge in PTY and it can get very crowded during peak times and used by AF/KL. I feel that the facilities, especially showers and WC's are not sufficient for the amount of traffic that the lounge receives. Catering is very poor for a hub lounge and it reminds me of an ex-CO lounge from the 1990's.
I had a good flight with attentive crew, but the catering is odd to say the least. There should be either a hearty breakfast or lunch after dept. I assume that most passengers would be hungry at 09:16 and to be served a snack plate at the beginning of the flight is disappointing. During the lunch service I noticed that there was no soup nor a second choice for dessert (ice cream sundae) which are offered during dinner. Apart from these the main dishes are exactly the same.
After taking 6 flights on CM I feel that this is good airline with plenty of room for improvement. Its on time performance and ease to connect at PTY are major advantages. As an elite frequent flyer my upgrade success has been 5 out of 6 flights which is pretty good. Crew for the most part are professional and courteous. If you are flying Y, catering is very generous and meals are fine. The food in J can range from OK to downright inedible.

Indeed! According to flightradar24.com, Google Maps, and your location in seat 1A on the right side of the aircraft, I'm pretty sure that's a nice photograph of Lake Xolotlán, Momotombo volcano, Momotombito island and at least two natural reserves in Nicaragua. What a beautiful sight!
- This is where I have always sat too, it's ridiculous how crowded that lounge it. I've been there at various times from morning to noon to afternoon and it has always been the same. I also hate how you have to get drinks at the bar (other than coffee and water). The obligatory tip jar disgusts me.
The main looks really bad. I've had the cannelloni before and it was inedible so I think you picked correctly ;) Sitting in the front of the cabin is almost a requirement on CM since they always run out of one of the mains by the time they get to Row 4.
About the dessert discrepancy, I've always seen both ice cream and a plate of real desserts. I find the real desserts to be really small in quantity. They are bite size^^
I do agree with your assessment, CM has really good on-time performance. The J cabin is a pretty good hard product for a narrow body (at least the new J cabin like this one), but the catering has always been disappointing.
Thanks for sharing this quickie Adan!
The plate of pastries is indeed small. What a teaser.
Thank you for your comments.
Thanks for sharing!
You are probably right about DL having a better product. CM is good where it matters (on time performance).
Thanks for your comments.
“Steve Wozniak”
- Wow!
“Oh the irony! Samsung Galaxy 7 & air travel.”
- The normal S7 and S7 edge are good :), the Galaxy Note 7 is a completely different story though haha.
Absolutely fantastic spotting shots at PTY, and spectacular aerial shots!
“I ate my snack which was a bit lacking”
- There was even some room left on that plate, they could have definitely added some more. A proper breakfast would have fit well here, that morning energy intake is important.
Wonderful aerials before arriving at SFO, great spotting shots as well.
Thanks for sharing.
Have a good one, see you!
I think this was one of those rare flights that I have spotted a "celebrity".
I can tell you are a breakfast kind of guy. ;)
I am on my "around the world" trip right now and typing this from an apartment in PRG. I got some decent aerials dept. from ARN. ;)
Thanks a lot for stopping by.
