Where do we check in at the Key West airport? Signature Flight Support, private terminal building at the Key West Airport. 3471 S Roosevelt Blvd, Key West, FL 33040 Map & Directions

Where do we park at the Key West Airport? Driving Directions: Turn into the main entrance of Key West International Airport. At the first stop sign, stay on the ground level towards arrivals. Drive under two walkways.

Parking a car: follow the signs to Short Term Parking. From the parking lot, look for the old control tower. The private terminal building is located just to the right and past the old control tower. The Signature Flight Support logo will be found on the outside of the building.

Dropping off: as you drive under the second walkway, get in the right lane and drive straight past the regular baggage claim and stop at the old control tower. The Signature Flight Support private terminal building is located just to the right and past the old control tower. The Signature Flight Support logo will be found on the outside of the building.

What can we put into the Uber to make sure that we are dropped off at the right location at the airport, and where should we go once we arrive at the airport? Signature Air Support Key West, 3471 S Roosevelt Blvd, Key West, FL 33040. https://maps.app.goo.gl/QweweJNTWQTocrbAA. You will arrive at the Signature Air Support building. You will ascend an exterior, front staircase and then enter through the doors to the lobby. This is where you will check in.

Would it be possible to arrange transportation to the airport? We understand this might not be feasible, but we thought it wouldn’t hurt to ask, as it might be more reliable than Uber that early in the morning. We do not offer any ground transportation. From anywhere in Key West, the airport will be an approximate 15-minute ride. Uber does offer an option to arrange pick-ups in advance.

What’s the weather like in Havana? Very similar to Key West temperatures. In the city, it can feel hotter. The summer months are warm & humid.

What should I wear on the trip? Loose fitting, breathable fabrics, closed-toe shoes, hat, & sunscreen. A small umbrella can be helpful during the warmer months for shade.

We noticed in the FAQ that closed-toe shoes are recommended-are sandals ok, or should we stick with closed-toe footwear?
This recommendation is provided because Havana buildings, streets & sidewalks are often in disrepair, which leads to loose rubble on the sidewalks of the walking tour. The walking tour is about a mile, we want you to be as comfortable and safe as possible.

Will I need to exchange US dollars for the local currency while in Cuba? Right now, you can use US dollars.

Can I bring my cellphone to Havana? Yes, but cell service may be limited to none. Great for taking photos during your trip.

Can I bring snacks and drinks on the trip? You can bring prepackaged foods that are sealed. Please, no fruits, vegetables, or beverages. Water will be provided for you. You can purchase additional beverages throughout the day.

Can I bring back cigars & rum from Cuba? NO. US Customs does not allow the import of any tobacco or alcohol from Cuba. But you can enjoy them during your Day Trip to Havana.

What is the cancellation policy? Cancellations and rebookings incur a 15% cancellation/rebooking fee. Cancellations must be confirmed at least 7 days prior to departure to receive a partial refund. Cancellations confirmed less than 7 days prior to departure will not receive a refund.

NO-SHOWS WILL BE CHARGED THE FULL EXCURSION FARE. Please be on-time for your scheduled trip. Check in is required at 7:00 am. Late arrivals are subject to cancellation without refund.
