NEED IMMEDIATE Help! 63 YEARS OLD WOMAN WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ON COPA AIRLINE CM0314 FROM PANAMA TO TRINIDAD, MISSING AT ARRIVALS
It was heart-breaking that this 63 years old, hypertensive woman, who was in a joyful mood, not only to reunited with her only daughter and family whom she had lost contact with for 7 years, but to also see her 2months old grandchild, had been denied access to this dream come true. She is old, she does not speak or understand Spanish or English. She has never travelled out of her country before
She was to be on a connecting flight from Havana, Cuba, through Panama, to POS, Trinidad and on airport wheelchair assisstance. All her necessary documents were with her.
The info gathered so far from Copa airline Staff on phone was that she refused to board the aircraft, became violent inside the plane, refused her seat, sat on the ramp and as a result, was taken back to Havana, cuba for deportation to where ever she might be coming from. Efforts to contact her through Copa Airline officials, were denied. Further questions were never answered.Right now, she has been in detention in Havana for 3days with no certified date of release.Nobody knows her conditions generally. She started the journey on tuesday 2nd, got to cuba on the 4th Jan for her connection flight to Trinidad
Any help from anyone who coincidentally boarded the same aircraft or has any form of info on what transpired at the airport/aircraft will be appreciated. If there's any other way anyone can render help please do she has never had any criminal record in life before

You need to make contact with the Embassy of her country and report that she has been detained.
Several holes in the story
1) how does it take more than a day to go from Panama to Cuba, when a flight is less than 3 hours
2) why does a woman from Panama not speak Spanish?
3) how does she become violent in he plane if she refused to get on it
4) how can she be taken back to Havana when that is where the airport this supposedly occurred is?
5) why would she need to go to Cuba and then to Trinidad because there's a straight flight from Panama to Trinidad that is 3 hours
Firstly, 63 is not old in the way you imply. On a short flight from panama to Havana how could she have become agitated? And as mentioned, this journey reported took 2 days? You can't refuse to board and then get violent on a aircraft you HAVE NOT boarded! She would not have been detain, and the most likely outcome would have been immediate deportation to Panama.
If she is being detained, a Consular officer from the Panamanian embassy will have been informed.
I'd start the journey to find her:
If she is still believed to be in Cuba that's where I would be, if I was you.

- Is there going to be a disruptive model in airline industry in the near future 2 or 3 years from.now?

- When are you supposed to declare money at the airport, when it reaches the maximum limit or exceeds it? When flying to China, the maximum amount of cash you're allowed to go through customs with is "cash equivalent to US$5,000 or above". Does that mean I have to declare $5,000 or only when it exceeds it?
