The info on coatings and flights etc is in the TA thread. I’m texting back and forth with my friend.
Thanks for your help.0 -

Certainly Cubans prefer US $1 dollar bills to £ 1 coins, say - but those travelling abroad to buy things (I suspect more go to Panama than Miami) aren't going to travel with an enormous pile of $1 bills - they prefer $100 bills to take up less space. If you tip with CUC, they can then decide whether to use them to buy things in Cuba or exchange for USD
(By the way - it used to be that the US gave 5 year visas for some to visit family there - so they could travel repeatedly. That has stopped, though those with such visas are still able to travel).
And as mentioned, there are ATMs in most places - except some of the tourist areas.0 -
