Recently flew a Copa flight down to Brasil from Panama. Copa runs a smooth operation and has maximized the usage for the 737.
However, in the back of the bus the 737 runs short for long haul flights. One isle is not enough for such a long flight. The bathroom line runs to the middle of the airplane. Can a 737 be equipped with additional lavatories? This flight has changed my view on single isle flights in long haul operations. Definitely prefer something bigger with more room to roam around.
Thoughts?

I don’t know anything about 737 lavs, but how is COPA? Panama’s airline, been around forever. Good airline?

Never flown them, but a (then) FO/737 for them was in my CFI and CFII class 6 years ago. VERY knowledgeable and good stick.

I clicked thinking it was a Cirrus related post. After all, it’s in brand X talk.

They do a 7hr flight to Buenos Aires. Two 7hr legs from toronto. In a 737. Passss.

I don't think it's the number of aisles... yes, a 737 can have more toilets... Google is your friend!

Even the max is tight in first class

The new 321 neo is better

I fly psp to Miami / 787 Miami to Barranquilla

I do this each month if weather is bad from TJ mex to Liberia CR

Good airline. I would recommend them. With the Panama hub you split America is half and they go all over the place. They used to work closely with UA, but I don’t think that is going on still. My only concern is the looong legs in the 737. Unless you splurge for business class, it won’t be much fun.
