Reservations

Once you have both your license and visa and have filled out the travel affidavit you will be ready to make your flight reservations. It is highly suggested that you prepay for your airfare at the same time you pay for your visa processing. The reason for this is that the flights to Cuba must be authorized every month. Once authorized, the flights fill up almost immediately. Therefore, in order to ensure you get the dates you prefer it is essential that we have all your paperwork processed in advance.

Cancellation policy All cancellations must be received in writing. Cancellations received more than three working days prior to the flight incur a $25 penalty. Cancellations received less than three days prior to departure incur a $50 penalty.
