Our Verdict
Competition for flights to Cuba is going to be intense, flights from $59 is extremely cheap already. It’ll be interesting to see how other tourist infrastructure copes (or doesn’t cope) with the influx of tourists. Hotel chains are scrambling to grab a footing as well, but hotels are in desperate need of improvements. Make sure you actually qualify to fly to Cuba before booking tickets.
