Internal flights within Cuba

Question

Travelling to Cuba in Oct with First Choice Holidays and want to do an overnight excursion to Havana from Cayo Coco. Has anyone done this before and which airline were used for the internal flights. I'm a nervy flyer and I hear Cubana have a bad safety record, but someone mentioned Aerogaviota. Any information would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Tropical has given you excellent advice.  By the way I've made two flights to Cuba via  Air Cubana and they were excellent.  They would not be permitted to fly in and out of Canada if they didn't meet the required standards.  Go and enjoy.  Havana is terrific as is also Cayo Coco.

Answer 2

Don't worry about the flights. They're safe and they do Cayo Coco to Havana trips all the time...it's part of their excursion programs. It's about a 40 minute flight and nothing to be concerned about.

Cubana, the cuban goverment owned airline is the only one that provides internal flights in Cuba.

Your flight will be arranged through your tour operator/rep at the resort you're staying at.

Which resort will you be at? The resorts there are beautiful.

You'll be fine with your flight and trip.

By the way, Cuba is known to be, and IS, a very safe country. You will be protected and looked after. Don't let other people's negative comments unnerve you. Even though Cuba is under certain situations, it's not the only country in the world that is struggling. They are doing better than other countries that are under 'different' regimes. There's no need to punish the Cubans and not visit with them just because this is the situation in Cuba.

Go and have an amazing time!

Answer 3

Well, when you go to Cuba you go at your own risk

Do not worry. If the plane falls you will be on the 6:00 and 11:00 PM news. You will be famous, a celebrity
