Conclusion

It is difficult to believe that it is already been six years since Copa decided to launch ConnectMiles and take ownership of their loyalty.

The airline was at first part of OnePass and later MileagePlus because Continental owned 49% of the airline back in the late 1990s and later even a majority for a brief time.

Maybe some readers can take advantage of this offer, although I feel that their usual elite status requirements are a bit out of touch with reality.
