Copa Airlines Business Class Review on the 737 MAX9

Welcome back to the channel and today I  want to show you what you can expect from   Copa's Business Class on the 737 MAX9.  I finally got the opportunity to fly   the MAX9 with the lay flat business class  seats after multiple failed attempts due to   everything that's going on and the grounding of  this aircraft. I finally got the opportunity to   try this product out and I was pretty impressed.  It's quite an upgrade from what you normally find   on Copa as far as the seats are concerned. You can  see here; let's take a detailed look at the seat.   They left a pillow and blanket for you  at the seat. The business cabin is in a   2-2 configuration. The power outlet is  up top as well as the headphone jack.   It will be on your left side; you also have  a light there on your left side as well. You have the standard windows. You're  not going to get the Dreamliner windows;   which I am glad because those don't really  work well when it comes to direct sunlight   in the window with the auto dimming. You have a  fairly narrow foot well. Here is the tray table   that comes out that comes out of the right side  of the median divider. Keep in mind with the   2-2 configuration you're not going to have much  privacy as you you really wouldn't expect that   in a two-two configuration anyway. Here you have  a place where the safety pamphlet is. You can't   really store anything there. Here's the seat  controls off to the right and you do have   individual air nozzles which is always a plus  because you can control how cold you want to be   in the cabin. On the left side you have a moveable  armrest. This slides down and gives you a little   more room sleeping; which is good. I did find it  helpful for a little bit more room when sleeping.   I like to do this just to give you an idea of  the space while laying flat. I am 5 foot 11   so you have an idea of what you can expect as  far as how tight the footwell might be for you.   Especially if you're taller than this and how  much you might have to bend your knees. This is   definitely going to be a side sleeping  situation. They did hand out bottled water only.   No champagne or orange juice option unfortunately.  An amenity kit was handed out before the flight.   You also have the Dreams headphones, which I  mean they serve their purpose but that's about   all I will say they do. You will be better  off with your Bose Quiet Comfort's to use,   but after the takeoff I will talk about the  rest of this flight. I will see you in a minute Okay let's look at the bathroom here in the  737 MAX9. It's a pretty standard bathroom.   I will mention it must be a thing with all the  MAX8/9 that water splashes out like crazy. It does   this on American Airlines MAX8 and United's MAX9.  It just must be a quirk with this aircraft. I did   feel this bathroom wasn't as tight as the max 8  and max 9 bathrooms on American and United but   you can check out my review on those as well.  One odd thing to note is they serve snacks first   because this flight departs at a 1:33  in the morning so it's an odd time and   they serve breakfast two hours before  landing. I had the granola with fruit,   yogurt and the French Toast. The French  Toast was pretty good with the warm fruit,   which included some oranges and raspberries.  Keep the timing of this flight in mind as far   as the service flow goes because of its odd the  departure time at 1:33 so they don't serve a meal   right away. It will be two hours before you  land and the flight is about six hours and 45   minutes or so give or take. Lets take a quick  look at the in-flight entertainment system. I   will just let you follow along. The long and  short of it is that the screen is responsive.   While Copa doesnt have the most extensive  library for entertainment odds are good   you will find something you like. At least one  movie to get through is good enough on a flight   of this length. Especially leaving at that hour  because most people are going to sleep anyway.   I will let you take a look at this and  I will be back with my final thoughts. Okay so let me talk about some of my final  thoughts on this flight. Again one thing you   want to keep in mind if you're taking CM453, it  does leave at 1:33 in the morning so as far as   food options go at Ezeiza International Airport in  Buenos Aires you do have the star alliance lounge   which is open late. As of right now I believe  the Centurion Lounge from American Express is   only open until 2300. With their three  hour rule where you can only get in   3 hours before your departure time you  can only get in essentially puts you at   2230. So 30 minutes in the Centurion  Lounge I don't think is worth it to   enjoy. I would say definitely the Star Alliance  Lounge; which is self-serve now. Although the   food quality is not nearly as good as the  Centurion Lounge but it's an option that could   tide you over until you are served breakfast  on this flight two hours before your arrival.   Another thing to note is no wi-fi. It is kind  of a shame you had a great product like this   but no wi-fi on this aircraft. I don't think any  Copa has wi-fi on any of its aircraft. It just   seems wi-fi is something that Latin American  airlines really don't invest in in my opinion. No menus were handed out so you were given the  choice of French Toast or an Omelet I believe.   They will give you a bottle of water  and amenity kits were handed out.   I found the seat pretty comfortable and keep  in mind you're not gonna have a private seat   as one wouldn't expect with the 2-2 configuration  but I did not have a seat mate so that helped not   having to step over somebody. All in all it  was a a good flight and the crew was friendly.   Remember their is no wi-fi on the plane  so it's just something to keep in mind   if you're thinking about working. You  will want to get it done before you   hop on this flight. That was Copa's MAX9  in Business Class with lay flat seats   from Buenos Aires to Panama City. As always I  appreciate you watching.
