Travelling to Cuba with Sunwing Vacations

Travelling to Cuba with Sunwing Vacations

When I travelled to Cuba, it was my first time on a plane and going anywhere. I didn't know the differences in Air lines, nor was I too concerned. My friend recommended "Arenas Blancas", so I looked for trips to that location as from speaking to the Travel Agent, I realized that resort was fairly priced as well.

Sunwing was offering the flight down to Varadero, Cuba on the date I was set to leave. I had booked and my experience with Sunwing began on the day of my trip.

I have to say I was quite happy with the service and the flight. The plane was not a large plane from how I imagined it would be, however it was plenty big. About 30 rows of 6 seats were on the plane. On the trip there, I was 4 rows from the front and on the way back I was in the very back row.

The flight took about 3 1/2 hrs to get there, and just over 3 hrs on the way back. During the trip there, being it was christmas day, they had went around offering glasses of champagne to all the occupants for free. Obviously I had accepted and thought that was nice of them. They also provided free food on the plane, and it was much better than I expected from Airplane food.

Overall, I would recommend them as being my first time on a plane was not scary and the ride felt smooth all the way. In fact, in my trip to the Dominican Republic I will be flying with Sunwing again. More so a coincidence of who was offering the trip again, but it's good to go again with a familiar company.

A Cuba Vacation

A Cuba Vacation by Suzanne Morrison Taking time out from the everyday stresses and strains of life to visit an exotic place is something that everyone looks forward to. Cuba , with its notoriety brought upon by its government and the clamp down of the American government on its export and tourism, is a country known more for its cigar and its leader, rather than as a vacation destination. Despite this, every year more and more tourists from Canada and Europe are flocking to Cuba, enthralled by its natural beauty and its passionate and welcoming people. Tourism in Cuba is currently at an all time high. Cuba is the largest of the Caribbean islands and is inhabited by people with a mixed race of Caribbean Indian, African and Spanish heritage. It has a contrasting landscape ranging from beautiful and mesmerizing beaches to sprawling and craggy mountain ranges. Limestone Mountains loom over the fields of tobacco, utilised for their famed cigars, providing a stunning scenic view. The natura...

Cuba Cars

In my trip to Cuba, I learnt that Cuba keeps many old classic American cars in Cuba and drives them around. When I took my excursion to Havana, Cuba , I was taken on a tour in an old American Car. Here is the Car I was taken around in: Christopher P. Baker has made an excellent book featuring pictures of many of these Classic American Cars in Cuba. It is titled Cuba Classics: A Celebration of Vintage American Automobiles . This book has received many great reviews: "Yes, we've all seen great photos of classic cars in Cuba--but this book will make you swoon. Your knees will buckle, and you will become feverish with desire to get yourself to Cuba as soon as possible. Magnificent."
