Best seats on COPA in Y?
I have found much more COPA information via the CO Forum, so I will try to get some information here about seating in Y.
Does anyone know the Bulkhead and Exit Row numbers for COPA 737s on the JFK-PTY and PTY-UIO routes? Both say they're served by 737-700 (73G).
I tried emailing COPA Elite Services, and got an auto reply in Spanish, with the following: "Thank you for your question and/or comment. We will try to reply to your email within 25 business days." (!) I'm not kidding. That was 15 days ago, still no reply.
Thanks for any info!

A/C are the same as the CO 73G in terms of seat map. That should help in your planning.
Personally, I'm counting on the EUA on the JFK-PTY-UIO

Continental planes at www.seatguru.com are the same as Copa. I fly Copa a great deal and use the seat maps all the time. I like row 5 bulkhead.

Just to confirm the likely obvious but I assume this means that no Copa plane has any type of in-flight power? Which means for a PTY-EZE flight once you've exhausted your laptop's battery you either need a spare battery or a good book.

We flew on CM EWR-PTY-UIO, and were able to secure Exit Row seats at check-in on 3/4 of the flights. In fact, exit rows seem to go unmanned. We were the only pax in Rows 12/14 on two of the flights. Just check in reasonably early, and unless the flight is packed you'll have a chance at it.
That said, if you're CM/CO elite, I think you can reserve them ahead of time. Now that NWA Elites seem to be getting upgrades, maybe NWA Elites can pre-reserve them, too?? Not sure.....

Embraer 190
Continental planes at www.seatguru.com are the same as Copa.
Since the 190's now make up nearly a third of Copa's fleet, this could be increasingly useful to know. Regardless, I have yet to see the 190 being used on the routes mentioned in the OP.
