Best and worst seats

Best seats

  • Rows 6–8, seats A, B, C, D, E and F · Economy Extra

    Economy Extra: more legroom and more recline than the Main Cabin, near the front for a quick exit.

  • Row 18, seats A, B, C, D, E and F · Main Cabin

    Second over-wing exit row: extra legroom and normal recline (likely). You must be willing and able to help in an emergency.

Trade-offs

  • Row 1, seats A, B, C and D · Business Class

    Front row of Business: likely faces the forward bulkhead, which Copa's map doesn't draw

  • Row 5, seats A, B, C, D, E and F · Economy Extra

    First row behind Business, where Copa's map shows the cabin divide: likely a bulkhead or divider in front, which Copa doesn't draw

  • Row 17, seats A, B, C, D, E and F · Main Cabin

    Over-wing exit row, drawn with red exit bars on both sides

Seats to avoid

  • Row 11, seats A, B, C, D, E and F · Main Cabin

    Row in front of the over-wing exits: recline is likely limited, and it gets none of the exit row's legroom.

  • Row 34, seats A, B, C, D, E and F · Main Cabin

    Last row, against the restrooms and galley Copa draws at the tail: queues and noise, and recline is likely limited.
