Latin American airlines rock! Can we have them here?

Recently myself and three companions were flying from Calgary, AB, to Houston, Panama city, Lima then Cusco. We were all set for our approximately 24 hour journey, and about halfway through when the flight out of Panama got canceled, no idea why. While in North America, we were on Continental, at this point, we were scheduled on Conti's partner airline, Copa. That night, they bussed everyone who was scheduled on this flight to a hotel and put us up for the night and fed us. The guy at the Panama airport was SO helpful, especially considering how little Spanish we spoke. So after a restful night in Panama, we arrived in Lima where we missed our connector to Cusco. The problem here was that we didn't book this leg on the same ticket...Copa put us up in the Lima airport Radisson and took care of rescheduling our LAN airways flight for us...Speaking of LAN, what an awesome carrier. Although a little leg work was required on our part, both carriers went out of their way to accommodate us, and it broke up our horrendous 24 hours of travel nicely...And we stayed in a five store hotel that we totally wouldn't have otherwise.
