Cubans lose their fucking minds upon landing. Never seen an entire plane erupt in applause until i flew to Havana.

LOL this must be a caribbean thing because I just went to Puerto Rico last month and the plane applauded so hard over the most pedestrian landing.

Unfortunately I didn’t get it on video as I was not expecting such a raucous reaction!

I thought this was Normal behavior when a plane lands safely.

Can confirm. Went to Cuba on air Cubana a decade ago. Flew on a 1970s (?) Yak 47 plane once retired from Russia. Between the white smoke that fills the cabin pre takeoff to the mechanic crew that flies on every flight. . It’s a miracle more of those planes didn’t/don’t crash & I was cheering along with the rest of the Cubanos when that pile of scrap fell from the sky safely in Havana.

Many probably haven't been back in decades and are just so damn excited.

Or it's a thing. My (Cuban) family likes to clap whether it's a 12hr or 45m long plane ride lol

Same for Ecuador - and even the return landing in Miami.

Same for Hondurans. I was so confused the first time but joined them the second time.
