Back of my seat, no IFE for economy, just for premium eco and Business. Entertainment available via aircraft`s network too.

    a very delayed trip to Miami

    Eso no es nada. Parece que mi primer vuelo a Miami va a estar delayed forever. jaja
    737 MAX9 interior, with sky interior

    Eres valiente, Fernando. Debo estar influido por las noticias, pero creo que una de las pocas razones por las que yo no compraría el pasaje más barato a cualquier parte sería tener que volar en uno de esos!
    Service onboard

    Pobres auxiliares de vuelo. Aparte del poco respeto que les muestran... no creo que el gorro ayude.
    no IFE for economy, just for premium eco and Business

    Eso es muy tacaño de parte de Copa! Las aerolíneas se parecen a los gobiernos de mi país en ese aspecto. En lugar de mejorar las cosas, empeoran lo bueno para que estemos contentos con la excusa de que somos más iguales. Creo que ese el el concepto moderno de “justicia social”.
    the unhappy box

    jajajaj Muy bien puesto el nombre! Al menos tenía un sandwich. La de AR es peor, muy insalubre. Si me permites un alcance, para que los angloparlantes entiendan el chiste de la “cajita infeliz” podrías llamarle “unhappy meal”, porque la cajita feliz en inglés se llama “happy meal.”
    a secound round of drinks was made to celebrate Christmas Eve

    Un amable detalle de parte de Copa. En general se ve un servicio... al borde de lo aceptable. No digamos que voy a salir corriendo a comprar mi pasaje en Copa para mi próximo viaje! jaja
    Gracias por compartir! Feliz 2022!

    It`s a shame the quality of service at CM; the business meal service seems like economy!

    Hola Fernando, buen reporte!
    Parece que tuvimos una experiencia de vuelo muy similar con COPA. La cajita infeliz ya es un clásico, pensar que antes de la pandemia daban un sándwich caliente..algo adecuado para un vuelo de 7h. Dudo que vuelvan a servir algo decente.
    Cómo te resultó el asiento del 737 para un vuelo largo? A mi se me hizo interminable, se ve que venía acostumbrando a aviones de fuselaje ancho para viajes largos.
    Tremendo ver EZE desierto, una postal apocalíptica.
    Saludos!
