1) Can EYW handle an A320? I know they can handle FL's 717s, but what about an A320? -- Looking at the route this flight took, EYW doesn't look too far off.

2) Could NAS Guantanamo Bay have been an option, at least we would have been on "American" soil.

AC flies 320s and 319s to Havana almost every day in the winter, several times a week during the rest of the year.
