Copa Airlines Trip Report | LAX to Panama City (PTY) | Star Alliance Gold | September 2022

Описание: Ready for my first post-pandemic international trip? Join me aboard Copa Airlines from Los Angeles (LAX) to Panama City (PTY) as I navigate my Star Alliance Gold perks earned through Asiana Diamond status.

This trip took place in September 2022, just before my Star Alliance status extension ended in December, allowing me to enjoy benefits like:

Star Alliance Gold business check-in line – quick, painless, and efficient
Star Alliance Lounge at LAX – comfortable space, though food service was slower than expected
Priority boarding and in-flight perks – with a minor hiccup on scanning the boarding pass, quickly resolved

Flight highlights:

Aircraft: Boeing 737 MAX 9, modern cabin and comfortable seating
Takeoff: Southern California storm and breathtaking sunrise over Central America
In-flight service: meals, amenities, and full trip experience
Connecting flight: PTY onward to Bogota

This Trip Report gives a complete view of flying Copa Airlines post-Covid, how Star Alliance Gold perks help, and what to expect from lounge access, boarding, and onboard service.

📆 Flight Date: September 2022
