    COPA Airlines flight CM357 on 2/24 lost my luggage with months supply of medications (diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol , pain medications my knee from recent knee replacement surgery, medications to be able to sleep and with designer purse two of them inside. they cant locate the luggage. We left from *** to PTY 2/24 at 8:20 am. The agent at Dullest Airport gave horrible service. I had a total 4 luggages in the which the 1st luggage was free and paid $45 each on the additional bags. The agent agent checked in all bags supposedly and didnt ticket one of the bags which we realized later because the 4 tickets for baggage 1 was a tracking information for a different guest that I never interacted with or met. Once in the aircraft that same agent game to our seats saying my carryon bag wont fit and we need to check in it which wasnt true because we were already in the aircraft and the carryon was verified with agents that it is a carry on item. I have no idea why she left her post past tsa to come on the aircraft to give us a hard time. After landing I couldnt find 4th bag. Apparently thats when they told us we only had checked in 3 not 4 which is false we contacted copa and my son in Virginia drove many times to ask about a my lost luggage. They send email saying they are looking for it. 9 days later today they told us they never were aware of my luggage being lost and they have no record of it. I believe now the reason why the check in agent left her position to go through tsa to find me on the plane was because she realized she made a mistake and instead of voicing it and attempt to fix it she tried making it seem I need to check in my carry on. Since I didnt she kept her mouth close and allowed my luggage to be lost. Copa at *** have not been much help and now to tell us they have no record of us losing my luggage.

    I am deeply disgusted and frustrated with Copa Airlines for ruining my travel plans. During my trip in **************, they stranded me, along with four others, at the gate without an explanation, apology, or compensation. Due to a maintenance issue requiring them to use a smaller plane, Copa arbitrarily selected us to be left behind, with no regard for the impact on our plans.I had been sick for the past 5 days and desperately needed to return home for work. Copa making me miss my flight without providing an immediate solution not only ruined my vacation but added immense stress. After ignoring my requests for help for over an hour, they offered me a new flight that wouldnt departed for another THREE DAYS. When I told them I was sick and needed to get home, they suggested that I should buy a new flight on my own, which would have cost me over $2,800.Only after THREE HOURS of my pleading did a manager offer to rebook me on a flight for next day. I was so hurt to find out that they had this option all along and despite my illness and distress they were hoping to hold on to that available seat in hopes of profiting off of another desperate customer.Their refusal at times to communicate in English left in the dark as to what was happening and whether they would even help me. Their absence of an apology left me feeling awful. An airline with an ounce of human decency would have proactively communicated about the overbooking, sought volunteers, and offered compensation. Instead, I was subjected to unnecessary suffering and anxiety. Copa should be ashamed of their abysmal customer service.
