But those resorts are mostly tied to European/Canadian travel agencies from what I have read elsewhere.

What I'm curious about though is what will Silver do now. I was under the impression that they were really betting the house on Cuba which is why they left all of the EAS flying up north.

There's absolutely zero hoops to jump through. Show up at MCO, go to the JetBlue counter, they send you to another counter where you pay your $50 visa and go get your boarding pass.

One day you will fly over Varadero and will understand Western European havent been waiting to flock in there.

Peeps with non-rev priority on those 175s are going to enjoy visiting Cienfuegos, gorgeous historical town.

Ain't that the truth. I rather them still keep the business side embargo just to keep American companies out.

I've seen rapid tourist growth in the Dutch Antilles and it frankly sucks. The islands are getting overcrowded and more Americanized. Hopefully my favorite island is the last to get touched.
