Hi all
I am searching for round trip flights to Havana. For some reason it's not showing up... does anyone know why? :s

*

google flights yeah?
One minute it lets me search flights to Havana and doesn't the next

American sites don't fly to Cuba

Kayak.ca isn't even working lol

TheUS carriers will start in the fall

Jamie Wallace oh thank u!

its because its still presently illegal for flights to advertise flying to Cuba, thanks to the Helms Burton law. you have to use a Canadian site like airtransat.com, or go to a canadian based travel agent.

A flight into Varadero and a 2hr bus ride to Havana will be much cheaper from what I've found.

Oh!! Where can u buy the bus ticket?

And thank you

I think it's called Viazul. I haven't done this but I'm planning on it myself.
looks like it's actually 1.5hrs.

Oh nice! Thanks again:)
When are you planning to go?

You can also look on skyscanner to look for the cheapest flights. Then I book through the appropriate company such as air canada for example.

Thank you!

Oh I forgot to mention, skyscanner doesn't show direct flights. But I doubt there's direct flights there anyways.

Oh thank you!

Or use googleflights. I was just there last week and flew with westjet to Varadero. Taxi's and busses are easy and cheap to find, plus 2 hours from Varadero. Bring cash to exchange!!! Your debit card will likely not work there. Plus wifi and access to the rest of the world once you are there, is very limited.

Hahah oh yeah I know about the WiFi situation . My parents r there now .. I can barely get through lol
I am planning to go in december. Maybe Varadero is the way to go
thank you!!

We are going for a week in November- did you go on excursions? Were they worth recommending

Yes get your money changed to CUC's as soon as you arrive or you are screwed. Interac/Visa don't even think about it in Cuba

Thank you Sharon

This are the places I will be visiting. I would like to make a day trip out to Varadero but is it even worth it?? Apart from the beaches n resorts lol

I don't think varadero is worth a day trip. At all. The resorts are nice but there is not much else to see.

It depends the date ,it wont show if you fly Around Xmas time i think it shows 3 to 6 Months at a time

Oh! Ok thanks!

You are better to fly to Veradero and commute to Havana. That seems the norm and is cheaper in the longrun

what are peoples thoughts on renting a car and just traversing the entire country? any tips?

Thats what I did. One end to another. Amazing experience.

are you able to give a detailed budget on the costs:
- car rental
- fuel
- accommodation
- food?

Car rental is expensive. Go to a site called dtcuba. Com and look it up. They are all the same as they are government companies. Gas is around 1.2 a litre but varies. Accommodation and food seem to just happen. Look up Casa particulars in Cuba..... They usually serve authentic home cooked meals too.
