All the U.S. Airlines That Are Flying to Cuba

UPDATED: This story has been revised to include the Department of Transportation's August 31, 2016 announcement of the final flight schedules for 20 daily non-stop flights from the U.S. to Havana's José Martí International Airport.

Looking for a flight schedule to Cuba? We’ve got you covered.

When JetBlue’s inaugural commercial flight to Santa Clara lands next week, it will become the first U.S. airline to begin regular commercial flights to Cuba in more than 50 years.

The New York-based airline already has been running charter flights from New York to Havana since earlier this year when President Obama eased travel restrictions that had been in place since the Cold War era. And American Airlines began a charter flight from Los Angeles to Havana last December. But like other airlines, JetBlue is still awaiting government approval for regular commercial flights to the Cuban capital.

While Alaska, American, Delta, Frontier, JetBlue, Southwest, Spirit, and United received tentative approval earlier this summer from the U.S. Department of Transportation to fly to Havana, their flight schedules were not confirmed until August 31st. The airlines will begin selling airfare to Havana as they announce the start dates for the new routes.

Only 20 daily non-stop flights are being permitted from the U.S. to the Cuban capital and 14 will be from Florida, out of Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa and Orlando. The remaining six flights will connect Havana with Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Los Angeles, Newark, and New York.

Over the next few months, 10 airlines will begin regular daily and weekly service to 10 Cuban cities. Alaska Airlines, American, Delta, JetBlue, Frontier, Silver Airways, Spirit, Southwest, Sun Country, and United will operate a combined 155 flights, which will be rolled out between now and January. Their planned flight schedules are listed below.

But don’t start packing your bags just yet. There are still restrictions for Americans to travel to Cuba—you must fulfill one of 12 entry requirements.
