A few questions on Copa Connect miles award flight stopovers:
1. Do they work on Copa only flights via a stopover in Panama?
2.Can you do stopovers on mix partners say United and Copa?
3. Inter Country stopovers allowed Ewr-IAH-LAX? and inter region, say South America?

Hi Michael,
No, they should work regardless of carriers and countries.
Thanks!

Hello Stephen,
Can I use connectmiles for shopping instead of flying? Any particular web links for that?
Thanks.

Hi AN,
At this time, Copa does not offer a way for their Connectmiles to be used for shopping. Thanks for reading!

Hi Stephen,
Thanks for a nice article, we are trying to book Copa airlines to Aruba from SFO/LAX on Business but the only redemption rates we see are 70k each way (we tried on United website as well as on Copa). You mentioned 30k one way Business above. Is there anything we are not doing correctly?

Hi Tanuka,
You need to locate saver award space in order to book at this pricing, which can get booked up quickly, so it is best to be as flexible as possible with your searches.
