Flight with onboard sauna

15 October 2008

Emirates Airlines is famous for its onboard shower for First Class passengers on board its Airbus A380.  Today we flew on Cubana from Havana to Camaguey on an old Russian propeller plane (Antonov 24), scheduled for 1700. 

We had some technical difficulties on the ground.  Without air-con you could say that the flight had an onboard sauna. We had to disembark briefly before reboarding, to allow access for a wheelchair passenger. We even made our short flight of 1h30 to Camaguey.

We hadn’t found any homestay online but our Havana hosts managed to organise a lovely one for our two night stay.
