Traveling to Cuba
Travel Details
Getting to Cuba is fairly straightforward starting with your flight to your primary destination, typically our clients fly into 1 of 2 places: Havana, Cuba (HAV) or Camagüey, Cuba (CMW). There are daily flights on American Airlines from Miami International Airport (MIA) to both airports typically departing in the middle of the day.
We take care of all of the travel once you arrive in Cuba, so there is nothing for you to worry about beyond getting to the closest airport.
If necessary, there are alternatives to getting there outside of Havana and Camagüey but they involve additional flights and transfers. Please let us know immediately if you require alternative transportation logistics.
