_Money_: Buy an ETECSA internet card while in Havana; Terminal 3's Wi-Fi is paid-only and obtaining cards can be more complex there. - _Avoid_: Plan at least an hour for transferring between terminals, given their spread and the shuttle's inefficiency. - _Local_: Use the public bus from Terminal 1 into Havana for a cheap yet local travel experience—though it requires patience and some Spanish. - _Quiet_: For some peace, the VIP lounges in Terminals 2 and 3 are a good investment, particularly when peak crowds hit. - _Time_: Extra buffer time is essential during late afternoon/evening peaks for Europe-bound flights due to bottlenecks. - _Insider_: Cuban cigars and rum at duty-free shops in Terminal 3 offer a convenient final opportunity for authentic purchases with proper paperwork. - _Avoid_: Offers of help on arrival are best ignored; official government taxi queues are reliable and regulated. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
