Havana airport is the monument of incompetence and unprofessionalism backed up by a state supported tourist ripoff.



After paying the pumped up price i demand speaking to a person, because i paid for someone else's incompetence. Guess what, no one speaks english in an international airport and they send you from office to office like a ping pong ball. At the end, when the stewardess of cubana airways finally understood what was going on, she said she doesnt care and rejected speaking to me. End of the story.

The airport itself is old and crowded. There is no air conditioning. The moment you step out of the plane you queue up for passport control in a claustrophobic room without daylight and then you queue up again for security check before claiming your suitcase. It took 2 hours to leave the airport. For the return flight it took again two hours to pass the passport and security controls. All these are done very imcompetently by 20 year old girls and boys not speaking proper english and unable to handle tourists cutting the waiting lines.

The best part of the airport was the runway for the return flight taking off.
