Jose Marti International Airport has at least five terminals, despite what you may read in this website and in other media. One terminal, a decade old in 2008 built with Canadian expertise, deals with most long haul internatiional flights, and one with mainly with Cuba internal flights. there are also separate terminals for charter flights […]
Read More...Always reserve the Holguin VIP lounge as soon as you arrive ready for your return. I didn’t and sat jealously sweltering and being bitten by mosquitos as I waited for my inevitably late flight. Otherwise if there is only one flight due, there seems to be enough room and seats, probably get too crowded if more than one […]
Read More...When we arrived at Holguin Airport we were three hours in advance of the flight time I went inside and immediately noticed two things. Incredibly long lines for check in and an unbearable smell, we waited in a long line of people for one hour and twelve minutes to check in and headed for the […]
Read More...I travelled through Havana Airport in September and agree it is clean and pleasant. Immigration was friendly and courteous both inwards and outwards. Signposting is good and seating is adequate. Only negative comment would be concerning the length of time it takes to get baggage off the plane – 90 minutes in my case. This […]
Read More...Terrible place. On arrival waited 50 mins around a baggage claim carousel that displayed the flight, for it to change to the other one (yes, only 2 claim belts in an arrivals hall) So not a problem you may think, wrong. Literally hundreds of people (One full British flight and one full Russian flight) shoved […]
Read More...We found Havana airport clean and well signposted. The downside was the length of time needed to check in and pass through immigration. We arrived over 3 hours before the Havana flight and it took 2.5 hours to get airside. If you want a choice of seat, I suggest a minimum of 3.5 hours.
Read More...Flying with Air France to Paris and on to Birmingham, economy class. There was unusually no queue for check-in at Havana, and my Air france Frequent Flyer card was processed. The CUC25 departure tax is payable in cash at this stage at a separate counter. Passport control was the usual thorough process, enlivened somewhat by […]
Read More...Have someone get off the plane asap, get right through and head for the Cambio (Exchange counter) especially if your numerous or a group. Otherwise you may be queued up for a while. The rates are fair. There is a small drinks stand down an “alleyway” between Arrivals & Departures. Assuming you were smart enough […]
Read More...Three terminals at Havana airport keep travellers well separated into categories. Terminal 3 is for foreign tourism. It is modern, clean and fairly efficient. The reviews in this page are referred to this terminal. Terminal 2 is for Cuban exiles visiting the island. It is small, generally overcrowded, not particularly clean (specially the restrooms) and […]
Read More...Seems that leaving Cuba is harder than getting’ in! When you land immigration doesn’t ask anything, but when you leave they want to see all your bags etc. As I’ve got an old Brazilian passport they even searched it carefully and asked if I were really Brazilian and not Cuban?! Check in agents are slow […]
