The same reason every LCC salivates over Hawaii and eventually Europe. Because its there. :rolleyes:

One can around and around for days about Trump rescinding the routes.
Carnival Cruises and Mickey Aireson have been salivating over travel to Cuba as much as the airlines.

Cuba maintains a long standing rule that Cubans who left by boat can't return by boat. Carnival decided it would uphold that rule and prevented any knuckleheaded Cubans in Miami from being able to sail back to the mothership.

The issue with Cuba, China, Myanmar, etc.....there is 0% benefit or profit to anyone but the government by these routes. The Cuban people will remain as is witb or without the routes

Which is why I have doubts about the rescinding of these new flights. Money.

Just a thought.

They forgot to mention the time Cuba helped the USSR put nukes on our doorstep...putting the entire world closer to all-out nuclear war than it has ever been. The dopes responsible for that are still in power.

Plus equal minded dopes in other parts of the world, only the names have changed, same lunacy abounds.

This from the jerkoffs that want to start a database registry of all the Muslims in America. :eek:

Islam has been so great for the Western world, hasn't it old timer? If you and your fellow left wing travelers want to carry on with your death wish proclivities, please leave the rest of us out of it. Islam is a cancer on the freedom loving western world. It's ok to be prejudiced towards things that are bad for you. It's called "self preservation". You should look into it sometime.

You assume that the Cuban government had any say in the matter. It's quite possible that the Soviets did it without much regard to Cuban thought.

Let all the cruise ships and tourist flights that want to visit Cuba do so! This hemisphere doesn't have enough tropical islands offering crowded streets, cheap souvenirs, and bad sunburns. :p

LOL exactly. Everyone will want to go for a little while just because of the forbidden fruit effect or whatever. At the end of the day, other than a lot of cool vintage cars, what's there that isn't anywhere else. It will settle into the travel demand of the entire region best case.

What's wrong with registering those who believe in the "religion of peace"?
