All direct flights to Havana from the UK & Ireland

Flight Summary

Last year, Virgin Atlantic filled the gap long since left by British Airways, and started operating direct flights from London to Havana, taking advantage of the growth in tourism to Cuba. Direct flights to Havana are also available with the Cuban national airline Cubana.

James Says

Direct Havana flights depart from Gatwick. There are various options for finding connecting flights to Havana, which unsurprisingly maintains good links with Spain. However, Madrid is no longer well connected by network carrier flights from UK airports outside London.
Many of the best deals on flights to Cuba are with Air France, who offer regional feeder flights from throughout the UK.
Unlike other Caribbean destinations, it is not possible to find flights to Cuba via the USA, due to the trade embargo imposed from the White House. This also makes it impossible to book Havana flights on American owned consolidator websites such as Expedia and Ebookers.

@Jodatu High speed should be just that - limited stop (which hs2 is), stations that provide onward connections (which hs2 does very poorly)

@Jodatu You wouldn't want 3 stations in Birmingham serving #HS2 - also, double deck, 400m long trains not compatible with classic track

@Jodatu You could make that argument about any central station or hub airport. Reality is, origin + connection passengers justify both
