Adrian,

Thanks for the trip report on an interesting route! I didn't think AC flew to Cuba from this far west in Canada. Was your trip limited to the Varadero area or did you get to experience any Cuban domestic flights?

Next Adventure: TBD

I wish I could see the photos but I have messages about bandwidth and they're all blocked. What do I have to do so I can see them? Anyone know? Thanks

I have upgraded my photobucket account and the photos should be visible

And for Civilian Flights, Northwest FL Regional airport. You can see the air carrier terminal in the bottom right of the photo.

I've done the same trip, in J. Air Canada remains my favourite accessible airline.
