## Insider tips

- _Avoid_: Don’t plan on an overnight stay; the airport closes from midnight to 6:00 a.m. Ensure you have accommodations if you face an early departure.
- _Local_: Check out the upstairs cafeteria between Arrivals and Departures for a relaxed local scene before security.
- _Insider_: Across from the terminal, a low-profile spot frequented by staff offers tastier, more budget-friendly meals than the airport's interior options.
- _Money_: Bring small change for taxis; a common fare to the city center is 10 CUC, and drivers may claim a lack of change for large bills.
- _Quiet_: Opt for the VIP Lounge if seeking some calm; it is airside, near the gates, and costs approximately 20 CUC.
- _Time_: Arrive on time but avoid lingering too long before your flight; midday heat and limited amenities mean you want to avoid arriving excessively early.
- _Insider_: Buy your ETECSA internet card in town, as they can be hard to find or overpriced at the airport.
- _Time_: Power outlets are very scarce, so ensure devices are charged before arrival or carry a power bank.
