Voice of Travelers to Cuba
Best Vacation In Cuba
My family and I live in New York, so last winter – instead of skiing – we decided we would head to the beach. We wanted to prebook our tickets to Cuba so we could get ready for the fun. We booked our tickets with United Airlines and got a great ticket deal. Our flight was great and the tickets paid off. Cuba is one of the most beautiful places we've ever been. It had the most friendly faces, nice people, amazing white sand beaches, luxury resorts, great food and amazing architecure – our time there was lots of fun. We stayed there for two weeks and we got to buy tickets to local concerts and museums. We even hired a local giude. My brother somehow lost his return ticket, but we still managed to solve the problem and had the best trip to Cuba ever.
Lost Ticket In Cuba
Last year my boyfriend and I went on a vacation to Cuba. We saw an advertisement about a great ticket offer for Cuba, so we decided to book our tickets. We booked our tickets with British Airways. Somehow, when we arrived in Cuba my boyfriend mixed up his luggage with his passport and return ticket, and the situation was a bit dicey. He spent the whole vacation with no clothes, no passport and no ticket. The amazing people in Cuba, and also the wonderful beaches, kind of took his mind off of things and allowed us to have fun – but still, we had to call London to ask about our situation. British Airways sorted out our problem immediately, and sent him a new return ticket. It was our best experience with British Airways so far, and we always buy our tickets with this airline.
