69 reviews Background:
This series will cover a quick weekend mileage run on CM down to UIO. I saw a cheap $380 circular-trip fare in "Eastward" fare class, which earns the total 100% mileage with OZ (5.2 cents/mile). This will be my start time flight CM, my first flights with divide scimitar winglets, and my first trip to South America. The routing was picked to leave Fri evening after work and return Dominicus night as to non fire any vacation days.
Part 1 – LAX-PTY [CM 362, Boeing B737-800, Concern] – Here
Part 2 – PTY-UIO [CM 829, Boeing B737-800, Economy] – Here
Role 3 – UIO-PTY [CM 828, Boeing B737-800, Economy] – Hither
Office iv – PTY-LAX [CM 302, Boeing B737-800, Business] – You lot are here
This report volition cover the trip from PTY to LAX in J. This flight was also a fortuitous upgrade, then I'm not going to complain. CM seems very generous with upgrades to make full out their J motel, which is not a good feature if you are a real J revenue client.
Pre-flying:
Afterward arriving from UIO, I only had about thirty minutes until boarding was scheduled to start for my flying to LAX so I bolted to the Copa Club. Non for the food offering, but to try and grab a shower.
The showers were both full, and then instead I just chop-chop changed in the bathroom and grabbed some dilute java and took a brief balance in the over run lounge.
This is the unabridged "cafe" area in the Copa Club. Information technology is terrible.
Afterward my cursory stop in the lounge, I continued my journeying towards my gate. The chief lobby surface area. They are advertizing the new IST-PTY road being started past TK.
KL B77W.
FIDS.
Since this is a U.s. jump flying, there was security at the gate (metal detector and baggage x-ray) and you were dumped into a quarantine expanse.
Outside, our B738 with split scimitar winglets is waiting for us.
At the adjacent gate was a CM B738 that is operated past AeroRepublica.

Correct on time, boarding started up. Priorities were respected and I was downwardly the jetbridge. A view of the seats as I make my way back to 4A.
My seat where pillow/blanket and amenity kits were preplaced.
The amenity kit contents.
The seat pitch is fantabulous, but once more no under seat storage in all rows with this cabin.
As I settle in, the FA comes through and hands out menus. The menu contains all of the PTY-LAX routes so you accept to observe the folio for your flight.
The menu for this flight.
The FA then came through and offered water or orange juice from a tray. I figured it wasn't worth the hassle asking for champagne and then but took the orange juice.
A look at our neighbor.
The last person to board was my seatmate, the J load was 16/sixteen on this flying. He was Brazilian. He attempted to speak Spanish to the FA, just was quickly exposed as a fraud when she was taking the dinner orders and spoke English the residual of the flight. By the fourth dimension the FA got to me, the only entrée left was the pasta… She too took drink orders.
The safety video played while nosotros backed up and taxied out to the rails. We pass the CM B738 in Panamanian national squad livery.
Aligning onto the rails…
… and we are off.
The AF, KL, and LH heavies every bit we caput down the runway.
Good day Panama.
The dusk as we plow towards LAX.
IFE content is the same equally before, and was a decent selection for vi hour flights.
After leveling off, in-flying service started with a vanilla scented oshibori.
My aperitif was served with warmed mixed nuts.
About twenty minutes later, my dinner tray was laid downward along with some other beer. It'southward nice to get a soup, but I don't know if I actually consider this a starter. Either style, the soup was actually good tasting.
The Y looking salad.
Buttonhole in the napkin.
Later finishing my soup, the bowl was removed and promptly replaced with my main. The pasta was mediocre. Not great and the portion size was modest. It looked like a microwave meal.
After the dinner trays were cleared, the FA served desserts and java/tea from a cart. I chose the cheesecake instead of the sundae. The size was meager! It was literally bite-size. She ran out of coffee, so told me she'southward bring me some freshly brewed coffee in a bit.
Water bottles were handed out along with my coffee.
I watched movies and napped the residuum of the trip. The FA never came back through the cabin to check on passengers. She but sat in the galley on her phone. The mood-lighting turned on hither.
The snack was served forth with java. This cheese plate wasn't fifty-fifty every bit good equally the one in Function 1. It was pretty mediocre.
Dropping into LAX.
Nosotros landed and taxied to a remote stand up. I've never deplaned from a remote stand at LAX before. We had to accept buses back to TBIT
And that wraps up this quick trip on CM.

Conclusion
CM again offers a pretty good J product for narrow trunk standards, but it is just marred by poor crews and mediocre catering.
Cabin comfort: The make new B737s with BSI are clean and comfortable with nice J recliners, but everything else is very Y (coating/pillow/headphones). The amenity kit is 1 minor positive to distinguish J from Y in amenities.
Crew: The crews aren't rude, just they just don't care. Their aloofness thus leads to a rapid decrease in in-flight service standards.
Meal and catering: Merely two options for the main, and they ran out of one of them by the fourth dimension they got to the concluding row then I got stuck with the pasta. No protein in the starter, just a soup. The dessert was also quite deplorable in quantity, merely at least they do service from a cart. Pre-inflow snack is not dandy, merely a piece of ham, cheese, and grapes on a plate with a common cold coil.
Entertainment: No newspapers offered. Standard seatback literature. Personal IFE in J has decent offerings, but is the same size as the Y IFE.
