Kuba became one of the countries that everyone wanted to go to after the USA lifted the embargo.. Since it is one of the most asked countries for me recently, I wanted to write such an article to help those who are looking for a flight ticket to Cuba.. I will be in Cuba myself as of April 28th.. Before I go, I wanted to write a nice Cuba flight ticket for those who want to go to Cuba.. Yes, it’s a country far away from us. Cuba takes 13 hours by plane. In connecting flights, flights exceeding 20 hours can take place.. THY is the only company that offers direct flights to the capital city Havana, but it is also expensive. So, now I will tell you how to go to Cuba by plane and economic suggestions one by one.

1. How To Get To Cuba The Cheapest?
You can go to Cuba with a direct flight from Istanbul to Havana.. If you want to go with THY, if you can’t coincide with the campaign period, you will have a flight ticket cost of around 3,000-4,000 TL.. I mean, the money of the world. Therefore, if you go with the companies I will list below, you can find a flight ticket to Havana in the band of 2.000-3,000 TL.. But I have a very important warning:
I will be in Cuba between April 28 and May 8, and Istanbul-Cuba flight tickets start from 3.200 TL at that time.
Now I will tell you the 6 most important airlines to go to Cuba and where these companies transfer to.. I will also indicate their Transit Visa status next to them.. Oh, be very careful on this subject. You know, you may need to obtain a transit visa, that is, a visa you know, when making a connecting flight from some countries (But it is obtained with less documents.. It varies from country to country.). I’ve already explained this in my How to Take a Connecting Flight article.
Streets of Trinidad : Cuba
- KLM (Transferring from Amsterdam: No Transit Visa Required). )
- Canada Airways (Transferred by Toronto: Transit Visa May Be Required). )
- Aeroflot (Indirect in Moscow : No Transit Visa Required )
- Air France ( Indirect Paris : No Transit Visa Required ). )
- American Airlines ( Through Miami : Transit Visa Required. )
- British Airlines (Indirect in London : Transit Visa Required. )
Now. Here is the situation: England, Germany, Canada, and the USA; They definitely want to see a transit visa on connecting flights.
However, Netherlands and France may not require a transit visa if the transit time is around 5-6 hours.
Recently, due to the political situation around the world, you can’t buy your ticket. Before buying, it is useful to call the office of the relevant airline company and ask if a transit visa is required, depending on how many hours you have to transfer in that country.. A very, very important warning from me to you…
2. How to Get Directly from Turkey to Cuba?
There are only direct flights from Istanbul.. For those who ask how long is the flight from Istanbul to Cuba: It takes about 12 hours. Generally, Istanbul Havana flights are the only choice and THY flies.. However, it can also be costly.

3. Are Istanbul Cuba Flight Ticket Prices Expensive ?
Let’s get straight to the point. Yes. An expensive route. Havana flight ticket prices have been hot, with the dollar increasing lately. But I think the figure around 2.000 TL seems a little more acceptable.
For example, I saw the agreement they made with KLM on Turna.com last night.. Normally, the Istanbul-Havana flight ticket, which is 2,500 TL on many sites, is at Turna.. It was around 2.300 TL. They have made a special agreement with KLM and they have 200 TL discounts on tickets bought from Turna.com. However, the conditions are as follows:
- To all America, 200 TL discount valid for round-trip flights with KLM
- Ticketing date: April 1, 2017- 30 April 2017
- Travel date : 1 April 2017-30 June 2017
Cuba Havana Flight Ticket: 17 May Departure-24 May Return 2309 TL
The dates I chose, which I just looked 1 month ahead, 17 May Departure, 24 May return flight ticket was 2,300 TL.. I would even earn 16 TL of Crane points.
You can use these accumulated Crane points on future flights.. You can check the details at Turna.com. In fact, if you would like to become a member of Turna.com and earn points from your flight tickets, click sir.
4. Istanbul Cuba How Many Hours By Plane?
Now, I would like to touch on this issue for the last time.. Actually, I have explained above how many hours the flights between Turkey and Cuba take, but let me emphasize once again for clarity:
Cuba Beaches: How nice !
Direct flights are only made by Turkish Airlines and take 12-13 hours.. If you are going to transfer from countries such as Russia, Netherlands and France, I recommend that you sacrifice at least 20 hours.. But since there is a serious price difference, I think it’s worth it.. However, please reserve your tickets by checking the Transit Visa status.. I wanted to emphasize this once again.

5. It is more advantageous to go to Cuba by transfer from which country?
I said that there are many airlines going to Cuba.. I know. “Which one would we be more comfortable with, Deniz?” There will be people asking me. To tell the truth;
Do not choose connecting flights to America, Canada and England if you do not have a visa.. Instead, flights to France, the Netherlands, or even Russia would be more desirable.
Because these transit visa situations are starting to get very, very annoying.. In particular, the recent issue of electronic goods that the USA and England do not allow us to even take on airplanes, I think further proves what I mean.
So the Netherlands, France and Russia can be easier transit points.
