FAQs - booking Cuba flights

  • What’s the best mode of transport from Jose Marti International to downtown Havana?

    The best and perhaps most convenient mode of transport from Jose Mari International to Central Havana is via airport taxi. You can find several official taxis outside International Terminal 3. Once you negotiate the price, the trip will take you about 30mins. If car hire is your preferred option, we recommend you make a reservation in advance to ensure availability on arrival. There is no direct public transport from the airport to the city centre, and the nearest bus station is about nine miles (15 km) away.

  • Is there a place to exchange money at Jose Marti International Airport?

    There are currency exchange houses (CADECA) available at Jose Marti International Terminal 3, where you can exchange Pound Sterling for Cuban pesos. Some stay open 24 hours a day, but you can also find cash points for small cash withdrawals in the International Terminal.

  • Which airport is closer to Camaguey: the one at Santa Clara or Holguin?

    Camaguey, Cuba’s third-largest city, is located near the centre of the country. From Santa Clara Abel Santamaria Airport, the car journey takes about 3h 45min for the roughly 180 miles (290 km). The distance from Holguin Orestes Acosta Airport, meanwhile, is roughly 130 miles (210 km), taking about 3hrs by car, so this one should be your destination for trips to Camaguey.

  • Is a visa necessary to visit Cuba?

    All UK citizens will require a visa for flights from London to Cuba. E-visas allow a stay of up to 30 days, with online applications requiring a processing time of about one business day at the cost of approximately $69* (£50). Tourist visas must be printed out before travel, and passports must be valid for at least six months from the date of entry to the country. Non-UK passport holders should check with the nearest Cuban consulate/embassy for visa requirements.

  • How does KAYAK find such low prices on flights from London to Cuba?

    KAYAK is a travel search engine. That means we look across the web to find the best prices we can find for our users. With over 2 billion flight queries processed yearly, we are able to display a variety of prices and options on flights from London to Cuba.

  • How does KAYAK's flight Price Forecast tool help me choose the right time to buy my flight ticket from London to Cuba?

    KAYAK’s flight Price Forecast tool uses historical data to determine whether the price for a flight to Cuba from London is likely to change within 7 days, so travelers know whether to wait or book now.

  • What is the Hacker Fare option on flights from London to Cuba?

    Hacker Fares allow you to combine one-way tickets in order to save you money over a traditional return ticket. You could then fly to Cuba with an airline and back to London with another airline.

  • What is KAYAK's "flexible dates" feature and why should I care when looking for a flight from London to Cuba?

    Sometimes travel dates aren't set in stone. If your preferred travel dates have some wiggle room, flexible dates will show you all the options when flying to Cuba from London up to 3 days before/after your preferred dates. You can then pick the flights that suit you best.

Top tips for finding a cheap flight from London to Cuba

  • Cuba, the Caribbean’s largest island, has several airports and choosing the right one will simplify your travel plans. Jose Marti International Airport (HAV) in the capital Havana and Juan Gualberto Gomez Airport (VRA) in Varadero are gateways to the west. Orestes Acosta Airport (MOA) in Holguin caters to the country’s eastern region. Arriving at Abel Santamaria Airport (SNU) in Santa Clara provides good access to Central Cuba, including the coastal areas of Cienfuegos and Trinidad.
  • For access to the popular tourist resorts on Jardines del Rey, book your flight for Jardines del Rey Airport (CCC) on Cayo Coco. From here, you can explore the nearby cays of Cayo Romano and Cayo Guillermo off the island’s northern coast.
  • Currently, only two airlines offer direct flights from London to Cuba. Virgin Atlantic services non-stop flights to Havana Jose Marti International from London Heathrow Airport (LHR), while TUI Airways offers direct flights from London Gatwick Airport (LGW) to Varadero Juan Gualberto Gomez.
  • Got an early morning flight from London to Cuba? Avoid the morning commuter rush with express trains from Central London to the airport. The Heathrow Express departs Paddington Station four times per hour, taking just about 15min to the terminals. The Gatwick Express from London Victoria Station also operates several times every hour, with a journey time of about 20min to the station at the South Terminal.
  • Whilst planning your trip from London to Cuba, don’t forget to include a travel adaptor for charging your electronic devices. You’ll need a 110V international charger, so make sure to purchase one beforehand or at an airport electronics store.
