Hello!
In June of 2016 I went on an EF Educational Tour to Panama. As an avid AV Geek, I have decided to share my report with you.
Before this trip, I had never flown on Copa Airlines. I knew that United Airlines (then-Continental) owns shares in Copa, and that they have very similar logos

The airline offers free meals. YES! The two options were cheese ravioli, or steak and potatoes. I chose the ravioli

Hi there, nice job on your first report! For an AvGeek, it must've been cool to get a 737 with split scimitar winglets! There have been mixed reviews about Copa in Business class, but I have to say that in Economy, they seem consistently good, especially when you compare to the U.S. carriers UA/DL/AA. You may want to blur out your last name, ticket number, and reservation number (PNR) on your boarding pass picture--keep in mind that anyone can see this review on the internet and these may contain personal information. Hope you enjoyed Panama! I went a few months ago and had a great time. Thanks for sharing and welcome to Flight-Report!

Thanks for sharing! It looks like you had a nice flight with Copa Airlines. That's great they serve a meal on their Economy Class flights from the US. We flew them while visiting Panama last year between PTY and David, and found them to be quite nice.

Hey! I had lost all hope on Copa after reading some reports here, but the cabin and the cattering look great in this report. Where they punctual? Was the food OK? What about the ticket price?

EF... A student of mine joined their Au Pair program and worked for one year in Boston after finishing high school. She had a great experience and decided to work with the same family for a second year before going to university here in Chile. Hope you had a good time with them in Panama, too!

Thanks for sharing! :)
