Málaga Airport, Spain

When I arrived at Malaga airport in December of 2014 to catch my flight to Casablanca, Morocco. I was very impressed… at first. The airport has high ceilings, very modern and a STARBUCKS. Lol. Anyways, I was satisfied and waited patiently with my hot chocolate for the Air Maroc desk to open and start check in. Once I checked in and got through security, I was pleased with the eating options by the departure gates. However, this airport failed me greatly and quickly. There are no announcements on the P.A system to let you know when your flight commences its boarding. So you better make sure you are sitting by a screen or else you will miss your flight! The funny and a bit annoying thing was that there was one announcement that came on the P.A system, and that announcement was to announce that there would be no announcements on flight boarding times. Ridiculous right? Anyways, all the flights going to Africa are wayyyyyyyyyyyyy at the back of the airport in some isolated part, with only a coffee and snack shop. So make sure you get your food before you head to your gate if you are going to an African country, because you also have to go through passport control again, and there is no turning back. The customer service was ok, there weren’t a lot of airport workers walking around pass security, so make sure you know your gate and read the computer screens.

Tarara Beach. Havana, Cuba

Image
Tarara is a resort town in the municipality of Habana del Este in Havana, Cuba. It is about 15 to 20 minutes outside of the Havana city centre. It is a very relaxed beautiful beach. There is a beach club located before you reach the beach where you can pay to use the pools and bar. The bathrooms are free to use, however there is usually no toilet paper or soap and one of the toilets did not flush. On the beach there is a hut style cafe that serves soft drinks, water, alcoholic beverages, and cafeteria food like burgers and french fries. Also there is a man that frequents the beach selling hot tamales. The day we went to the beach it was very windy, too windy to swim. There was a red flag posted in the sand and the life guard warned us to only dip our feet because the waves were so strong and the undercurrent was dangerous. Other than the wind and the fact we couldn't go in the water (the water was really cold that day) we had a very fun, relaxing, hot and sunny beach day! ...

London Heathrow Airport

Is Heathrow ever NOT under construction? Heathrow is big, boring and did I say Big? Anyways, it is a huge airport, so make sure you get there on time, because you are probably going to have to take a shuttle bus or maybe two to your gate, because it is just that big. I found all of the staff at Heathrow from the airline, restaurant, cleaners and security to be very helpful and well mannered. So that is a plus!

Montego Bay Sangster International Airport, Jamaica

This country is so Lush and the beaches are beyond beautiful with calm waters that have sometimes 6 different colours of blue. Jamaica is just so pretty.  Oh how I know the Montego Bay airport! My mother is from Jamaica and my family resides mainly in St. James (the parish which Montego Bay is in) and West Moreland (the parish which Negril is in). So the airport we use when traveling to Jamaica, is Montego Bay airport or as Jamaicans would call it “ Mobay Airport.”   Montego Bay airport, could be better, I think it is in need of some renovations. The ceilings are very low, it can get a bit warm. The AC needs to be on higher. Many flights arrive at the same time, so I hope you are not in a rush, because you will be waiting a LONG time before you get through immigration. There are two or sometimes four (depending on the number of flights that arrive at the same time) ladies standing at the bottom of the ramp once you arrive in immigration. These ladies will direct you to the pr...
