Frequently asked questions
What airlines fly to Cuba in 2026?
Nine carriers: American, Delta, Southwest, United (suspended), Copa, Viva Aerobus, Aeroméxico, Volaris (no direct route), and Air Europa.
Which airline has the most flights to Cuba?
American Airlines, with up to five daily Miami–Havana flights plus seasonal Miami–Santiago de Cuba. American carries roughly 68% of U.S.–Cuba seat capacity.
Is it cheaper to fly to Cuba via Panama or Mexico than from the U.S.?
Often, and always more reliable in 2025–2026. Copa via Panama City and Aeroméxico / Viva Aerobus via Mexico have avoided the schedule cuts U.S. carriers have made.
Why have so many airlines cut Cuba flights recently?
A combination of softer demand, the June 2025 U.S. policy tightening, and the February–March 2026 Cuban fuel shortage. United suspended service; Delta and Southwest reduced.
Does Volaris fly to Cuba?
No. Volaris has no direct Cuba route. Travelers searching for Volaris Cuba flights typically want Viva Aerobus or Aeroméxico.
