How to travel around Cuba by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Cuba

  • Confirm the October Havana to Santiago service
    Santiago's official airport channel says Cubana planned one Saturday service from Havana during October 2026. The notice does not give a departure time or seat availability; confirm your date and any schedule changes with the airline.

Arriving from another country

  • Prepare the DViajeros QR for arrival in Cuba
    Cuba’s official tourism information asks travellers to retain the QR received after completing DViajeros and show it on entry. Check applicable requirements for your circumstances; the QR does not replace required travel documents or a visa.

Before you fly to Cuba

Complete these checks before departure.

Distinguish tourist eVisa from the DViajeros form

Official information lists eVisaCuba tourist visa processing, replacing the former Tourist Card, separately from DViajeros. Check applicable procedures for your citizenship, document and purpose; obtaining a declaration QR does not mean a visa has been issued.

Verify Cuban domestic flight availability before booking

Cuba Travel currently marks air access to Baracoa–Guantánamo as unavailable, while current flight schedule listings show Cubana services on HAV–GAO and HAV–GER. The sources conflict, so a schedule listing alone does not confirm that flights are operating. Before planning domestic air travel, verify ticket sales and operational status for your dates directly with Cubana or the airport.
