how much am i looking at paying to travel from London to Cuba going about June time ?
im actually in the process of looking for flights for the same time, this is what i have discovered (based upon booking now, or within the next month or so from now)
£344 - with Cubana - the Cuban airline, it is cheap, but it is a risk in terms of reliability- they are ALWAYS late, and there are always tech problems with their fleet, soooo many people have told me horror stories about their reliability; last year a friend of mine was stranded in Havana for a week and a half more than she had planned (her boss was not happy!), because the plane was 'stuck in Barcelona', and needed a new part (i swear this is true-isnt it a shocker!? lol), and they didnt have (or just wouldnt) use another aircraft (bloody red tape)- eventually Cubana were forced to charter another airlines a/c to return the pax back to london, but anyway they are cheap!
Virgin - currently stands at about £650 ish (according to their web site) ive only heard good things about virgin, plus their fleet is pretty new, well maintained, comfortable and reliable, i am hoping for an easter sale, they usually slash the prices to about £450 ish- and they fly to havana
Iberia-Air France etc etc all fly from London, usually through another destination, i flew London-Madrid-Havana with Iberia a couple of years ago, theyre actually fine, its just abit frustrating hanging around at madrid (or paris in air frances case)- prices are about £500-600 ish, they vary
I flew a charter flight- London-Varadero in september, i actually got the ticket for £220 return which i thought was bloody awesome, though that was in september and it was a special deal, book by midnight, one day special thingy, they clearly needed to fill a flight last minute- this was through www.airtours.com - they are really cheap, i think in june your looking at about 400-450, and the carrier MyTravel are pretty good, though the comfort was definetly abit dodgy, space was limited ;) but it didnt really bother me being a young guy
so id say shopping around your looking at anything from 400-650, depending on carrier etc
www.havanaflights.com - looks good, i might try them myself, has anyone else booked through this web site??
