Can I buy an extra seat on Copa Airlines?

Extra seat fare

You must pay 100% of the applicable adult fare for the portion of the trip on which the additional seat will be used. For example, if you need an extra seat from Miami to Bogotá, you must pay a full adult fare for that route.

Purchasing both tickets

You can purchase the extra seat at the same fare provided you purchase both tickets at the same time. This can only be done through our Sales Offices and Call Center. If you need to purchase the extra seat ticket on the day of travel, you must pay the fare available at that time. If there is no availability, you must travel on the next available flight with adjacent seats.

Assigning adjacent seats

You must request seat assignments for both the original ticket and the extra seat ticket to ensure that adjacent seats are available.

Important information

If the fare purchased for the extra seat is Economy Basic, an additional seat selection fee will apply to both the extra seat ticket and the original ticket.

If you purchase an extra seat for your pet's comfort, you must ensure that your canine companion does not sit on the seats. Your dog must sit on the floor in front of the assigned seat and must not occupy any space in the aisle.

Checked baggage limits are determined by the number of seats purchased.

• If you purchase two seats, the applicable baggage allowance for each ticket applies.
• If you have ConnectMiles PreferMember status, the status baggage allowance applies to the ticket associated with your frequent flyer number, while the second ticket receives the baggage allowance corresponding to its fare.

The carry-on baggage allowance is not doubled.

Weight and packaging

If you purchase an extra seat to place a special item on it, the item's weight must not exceed 175 lbs. It must be properly packaged so that it does not pose any risk to other passengers.

Payment method

If you purchase an extra seat for cabin baggage, this service cannot be paid for with discount coupons or travel certificates.

ConnectMiles members who purchase an extra seat are eligible to earn award miles corresponding to the fare purchased. They will not receive qualifying miles or qualifying segments for the additional seat purchased, nor PreferMember benefits such as bonus miles.

Requesting mileage credit

To request award mileage credit for the additional seat, you must contact our ConnectMiles Service Center and provide the ticket number, flight date, flight number, origin, and destination.
