Sale – Flights to Cuba from Various US Cities – under $300 – American Airlines

Per FareCompare and Airfare Spot you can now book non-stop flights from various US cities to various cities in Cuba for under $300 rt!

Personally, I find this news exciting – I definitely want to visit Cuba!

I’m sure that there will be further facts and developments in the near future. Some questions that come to mind concern the availability of award space, whether there will be non-stop service to other airports in the USA, and details as to flight schedules and flights from other carriers.

In the meantime, here’s what Airfare Spot is presently reporting for Miami (and similar posts for other US cities):

For travel beginning September 7, 2016

• Cienfuegos (CFG)
• Holguín (HOG)

For travel beginning September 9, 2016

• Santa Clara (SNU)

For travel beginning September 11, 2016

• Varadero (VRA)

Per FareCompare – these are the airports which will have service to Cuba, and the prices (excluding tax – approximately $80):

• $198 round-trip (excluding taxes) – for flights to Cuba originating in Boston, Miami, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, Tampa and Washington, D.C
• $298 round-trip (excluding taxes) – for flights to Cuba originating in Houston, Atlanta, Chicago and Dallas/Fort Worth
• $398 round-trip (excluding taxes) – for flights to Cuba originating in Los Angeles and San Francisco

USA citizens will need a Passport and probably a Visa to travel to Cuba (see State Department LINK). No vaccinations are required.

Note: AirfareSpot has been updating its website to detail not just flights from Miami and New York, but also Boston, Philadelphia and each of the other cities that have AA sales to Cuba.
