Comment by an Anonymous Flier on José Martí International Airport, Cuba:

La impresion que causa este aeropuerto a los que llegan por primera vez a el es la de quien llega a un campo de batalla, la mugre abunda por todos los rincones, el mal olor es imperante, la falta de cortesia y profecionalismo del personal es contrastante con la intencion de convertirse en el destino preferido de los turistas en el Caribe, se persibe un ambiente de hostilidad y cohexion desde que desiendes de la escalerilla del avion, el personal militar y represivo que te resive te observa amenazadoramente en busca de alguna respuesta a su lista de interrogantes e inquietudes silenciosas, luego de una larga espera sales fuera de la terminal y te resive el verdadero pueblo Cubano, deceoso de compartir contigo lo poco que tienen y un calor sofocante que te recuerda que estas en el tropico. "Bienvenido a Cuba, tierra de libertad".(deseada)

Excellent airport..easy in and out - only a 20 dollar taxi fare to anywhere in Havana and civilized too...in the departures area, while you're waiting for your flight, there's even a 'smoking lounge' for smokers.

Comment by an Anonymous Flier on Juan Gualberto Gomez International Airport, Cuba:

You're an absolute idiot for putting those types of items in your checked baggage anyway, so you have no one to blame but yourself. Firstly - why would you even bring that type of jewellry with you in the first place ( do you really need to flash your baubles on the beach ) and secondly, if they're so precious to you - why aren't you WEARING your engagement/wedding rings??

I wouldn't even put expensive/sentimental items in my checked baggage if I was flying through Heathrow/Frankfurt/Dulles let alone a country like Cuba. If I had something precious and didn't want anything to happen to it, it wouldn't leave my side - so once again, it's your own stupid fault for leaving it in your checked baggage.

[MUGM] "American naval base" by david

Comment by @david on Leeward Point Field, Cuba:

Although this base is located in Cuba, it's under American control due to a long-term lease signed -- its the U.S.'s oldest overseas base, and the only one in a hostile country. It has received a lot of news coverage recently because of its use as a prison camp during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars.
