From the end of November 2023, the national airline Cubana de Aviación announced that it is opening for online purchase of air tickets or tickets. However, doubts continue to arise about how to build these reserves in both Cuban pesos and foreign currencies. These details were given by official sources.
A new version of the website of airline company Cubana de Aviación has been available for a few months, according to reports there. The website https://www.cubana.cu already allows you to reserve tickets for flights within the island, such as Havana-Santiago de Cuba or Havana-Holgun, and international destinations. It can be done by transfer or cash at the office in Cuba.
According to officials, the website was revamped with a more modern, functional and faster design, which makes it easier to find the desired connections. Users can check flight availability for their chosen dates and make their reservations online.

Now doubts continue to arise with the new prices, however, from the Cubana de Aviación Telegram channel, one of its activists clarified this way. Through the official website (we have provided the link above), online reservations are made in CUP, USD, CAD and EUR. “Availability for Jan/24. No APK yet, just a website,” he added.
He then added that “current availability is no longer for January. You must search the site and if it does not appear on the desired date, it means either there is no flight for that day or tickets are no longer available. CUP via TransferMovil Payment in”.
An example is the new air ticket price from Havana to Guantanamo, which, being one of the longest journeys, increases from 1,140 to 4,300 Cuban pesos. Another case is from Havana to Holguin, from 935 to more than 4 thousand pesos, which was already high for many people.
Flights from Havana to Girona on the Isle of Youth are also increasing, exceeding one thousand pesos. We remember that in many cases retirement in Cuba does not exceed 1,500 pesos per month.
