Keith Woolford Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) This testimonial is in Spanish. The story is that this Costa Rican traveler, who was enroute from New York, got stuck in Panama last week because of volcanic activity in CR but was afforded excellent service by COPA Airlines. Leonora Jiménez September 22 at 8:48am · Gracias Copa Airlines! Usualmente las redes sociales se usan como un medio para denunciar y criticar, es uno de los instrumentos más poderosos para hacerlo y para ser escuchados exactamente por quienes necesitamos. Pero estos espacios también deben fomentar prácticas diferentes, en las que hablemos de las cosas buenas y resaltemos cosas positivas y que vale la pena que la gente sepa. Yo fui una de las personas a las que recientemente la ceniza le impidió llegar a Costa Rica, venía desde New York, viajé con Copa haciendo escala por Panamá, venía absolutamente agotada, con ganas de llegar a mi casa, a mi cama y abrazar a mi perro. La gente no se imagina lo que implica darle cobertura a un Fashion Week, si mi equipo y yo dormimos cuatro horas por día... fue mucho. En fin, veníamos agotados y al llegar a Panamá nos enteramos de las noticias de las explosiones del volcán, retrasaron el vuelo y mientras tanto el cansancio fue tanto que no pude evitar dormirme en la alfombra del Gate... tengo que decir que contrario a lo que podrían creer, no me cuesta nada ni me da vergüenza acomodarme en cualquier lado y dormir. En fin... Llegó la noche y declararon el vuelo cancelado y mientras otros amigos que estaban en otros lugares en la misma situación que yo, sin poder llegar a Costa Rica, hubo una diferencia que marcó el trato que se nos dio a cada uno. En la mayoría de los casos las aerolíneas mandaron a la gente a "buscar vida", a solucionar adonde dormir y a regresar uno o dos días después con la esperanza de poder salir. En cambio a todos los que íbamos en los diversos vuelos de Copa hacia Costa Rica, nos facilitaron hospedaje, transporte, alimentación... y el mejor de los tratos independientemente de si viajabamos en clase ejecutiva o no. Copa se hizo responsable hasta del más mínimo detalle y le dio a sus usuarios, sin tener responsabilidad por lo que estaba sucediendo, la mejor experiencia posible dadas las circunstancias. Una aerolínea así... es digna de ser aplaudida y recomendada. Y es bueno saber que para ciertas marcas el cliente sigue siendo la prioridad.
