Flights to Cuba

Passport Requirements

You will need a valid passport with at least 6 months remaining from your date of entry into Cuba, and at least 3 months' validity from your date of departure from Cuba. Make sure to check your passport expiry date well in advance of booking.

Cuban e-Visa / Tourist Card

All UK travellers to Cuba require a Tourist Card (also known as a Cuban visa). You can now apply for an e-Visa online, which is the quickest and most convenient option. Please visit our sister website, Cuba Visa UK to apply for your e-Visa — it's a straightforward process and typically arrives by email within a few days, or, if you choose priority, the same day during working hours.

Advanced Passenger Information (D'Viajerosit's)

Cuba requires all travellers to complete an Advanced Passenger Information form within 6 days before arrival. This is a mandatory immigration requirement. You can complete the form at D'Viajeros (Cuban Immigration).

Medical Coverage

Cuba requires all visitors to have valid medical insurance that covers their stay. Make sure your travel insurance policy explicitly covers Cuba as a destination. You may be asked to show proof of cover on arrival.

Important: If you are flying from the USA to Cuba, you will need a Pink Tourist Card (rather than the standard green one). UK-based travellers can purchase a Pink Tourist Card online from cubavisa.uk. If you are not UK-based, you should contact your nearest Cuban Consulate to obtain one.

All flights and holidays booked through Travelfab include the Ticketing Protection Scheme (TPS), providing you with full financial security from the moment you book.

Flexibility

Our holidays and flights allow up to 30 days before departure for airline ticketing. This means that if you need to make modifications to your booking, we can check availability and make changes before your tickets are issued.

Protection

Your booking is fully ATOL protected. The Ticketing Protection Scheme (£5.40 per person) guarantees that in the unlikely event of an airline failure, you will receive alternative repatriation flights or a full refund. This covers you from the moment you pay until you return home.

Note: Cubana de Aviación domestic schedules are subject to disruption due to the ongoing fuel shortage. Flights may be delayed, rescheduled, or cancelled at short notice. We recommend booking flexible arrangements and not relying on tight connections with domestic flights. Pre-booked private transfers are a more reliable alternative for inter-city travel within Cuba.
