I had a Paraguayan boyfriend for 2.5 years, and Copa is the only way to get to Paraguay with only one plane change (in Panama City). I'm surprised Gol, a low-cost Brazilian airline made it so high on the list, though. vinapu 1 Quote

I used to joke with my friends to not be late, because if they have almost everyone onboard, they'll leave when they are ready, with or without you. Copa is good, their website is like AM, shitty... vinapu 1 Quote

I was warned that they took off when they wanted to, whether all paying pax were on board or not! This was sometime ago, but.... in fact, the internal flights I took were all on time. Quote
