Hello. The title kinda says it all. I'll be arriving in Havana really late, and will probably need money to pay the taxi driver and casa. Will I have any problems changing money at the airport?

Thanks!

The Cadeca at the airport is supposedly open 24/7 at the airport,like everything else in Cuba, there is no way to know for sure until you arrive.Make sure you count your money and get a receipt before you walk away from the teller window

The casa you pay when you leave,not before.

There are ATMs at the airport, too - do you have visa or matercards ?

the lines are long in the airport, be patient because is better to change in the airport and the next day you´ll be free to go to the bank (and more lines).

Btw,there are 4 or 5 Cadecas at the airport, the most convenient one for you,if it's open, is the one opposite the luggage carousel where your luggage will be off loaded, there are also 2 on the outside where the pick up area is and 2 more in the upper level departure area before the immigration lines on either side. Not sure if they'll all be open or just the one you'll need by the luggage area.
