Review of IATA

Here begins and ends your adventure through Havana...

Here begins and ends your adventure through Havana ...

The airport is small compared to others, you must be patient to receive your luggage and go through customs.

You can change to get cash for CUC or Cuban Peso (if you do not find in Havana several casas de cambio). Cash is important, since practically nobody accepts credit cards and it was very practical to bring both types of currency.

On leaving the office you will find taxi drivers offering transport, you can negotiate with them the fee (it is important to agree as well). We saw no bus service, but as recommended Just walking a little to the avenue outside the airport and be patient.

To address your plane back home, try to get good weather, especially if you come from somewhere in Europe in high season as we saw long lines to document.

If you have left over CUC at the end of your trip, you can take advantage of it in the stores near the waiting rooms.
