Hello all,

Will be leaving next Monday from Charlotte to Havana. American Airlines sent me two emails and gave two phone calls regarding assistance with Travel Card. When I called, they were quite helpful and clear. They let me know I can get my Travel Card at the Cuba desk before I board my flight, $100. It also seems easy to get the Travel Card via the link above (AA website), $85. My fault for not knowing that earlier and ordering before I leave to save a few dollars and already have in hand. If I order today, I don't think I will have in time for Monday night departure.

If you see a fault in my thinking, please let me know.

Keep a smile,
Simeon

Beard, #14: No, one and the same Noytsau under the advanced numerical guise of a newby. The #13 response is right in line with previous caustic messages.

$85 plus $25 or $40 Fedex means cheaper at the gate actually.

Trap - yes. I realise. I was just wondering how many Neuzao's there have been. Are they all clones ? The Stepford Neuzaos ?

I've counted 3 so far. Might have been more.

I ordered a visa from them Thursday for my January trip. It arrived today. I wanted to get it purchased to beat any possible new restrictions. I bought my airfare too. My only worry is that decreased demand caused by new restrictions could cause flights MIA to SNU to be cancelled. If a new flight needed booking, it might require new OFAC clearance.

Either buying the visa or the airfare would have been enough. You have entered in to a travel related transaction. According to the Treasury Department note that means the current rules apply to your trip.

I had not expected them to be that lenient.
