Varadero Airport
Traveller Comments....
"The problem with Varadero airport is that the influx of tourists has vastly outgrown the size of the airport." (?)

Given the relative impossibility of using your capitalist financial instruments to secure more cash in Cuba, I was relatively surprised that I was the only skid sprawled out on the floor in J.G. Gomez International Airport. Tourists are hit with a lofty 25 CUC (pegged to the USD) on their way out of the country and I figured there would be others like me who chose going home over sleeping in fine style. Nevertheless, the staff were incredibly friendly and didn't seem to mind my presence. After the last flight, they dim the lights and one (especially one with a sleeping bag) can sleep with relative ease. The problem for me was that I was under-prepared for the air conditioning. It was cold as fuck in there and by 2:45 I had to go outside and soak up what was left of the Caribbean daytime heat. Had I been prepared - that is, had I had more than a soaking towel and a punch of t-shirts to keep me warm- it would have been great. The security and cops - as they are in most of Cuba- were really kind and helpful. I felt like they would have intervened on my behalf if some punk had tried to rob me. Viva Cuba but lay off the air-con.
