The Cuban Government has banned the use of Cuban Convertible Pesos (CUC) at shops, cafeterias, and other service outlets available on airside (past immigration) at all Cuban Airports.
In view of this, travellers flying out of Cuba will only be able to purchase services and goods, either by credit card or in cash, as long as payment is made in any of the foreign currencies accepted in Cuba (Canadian, US Dollars). Cuban Convertible Pesos will not be accepted once travellers have passed immigration.
Sunwing encourages its customers to change their CUCs into Canadian before arriving at the airport for their return flight home.
