It’s easy to make comparisons with airline passengers stranded mid-itinerary in unfamiliar airport terminals. But it’s wrong.

Copa Airlines’ 737 MAX Medium-Haul Business Class We review Panama-based Copa Airlines' new "Dreams" business class seat on their 737 MAX fleet. Our trip got snarled in a bit of MAX drama but Copa's new seat and Panama City Airport's new Terminal 2 were worth checking out.

This is not one of those “how to” stories that is just clickbait and will tell […]
