How i would get to Cuba from the Untied States?

Answer 1

the easiest way is from the united states to the dominican republic, then from the Dominican Republic to cuba, the DR is always a good option because the flights are cheap because of how close it is to cuba

Answer 2

Legally or illegally? Legally you would have to apply for a visa through the Cuban Interest Section and also for a license with OFAC, unless you are visiting immediate family (i.e. a parent, grandparent, brother, sister, aunt, uncle or first cousin), then you don't need the OFAC license.

There are regularly scheduled flights from MIA and JFK that go to Havana, but you have to be an approved traveller to even get on them.

Illegally, the only way you can go is through a third country. A popular place to travel from are the Bahamas, as Cubana has direct flights from Nassau to Cuba. However, expect to have a problem with the US upon entering. You could try some less frequented airports like Guatemala City if you want to try and stay below the radar. If you want to go overboard, fly to Spain first. They are "probably" not looking in places like that. The US is stationing immigration officials at foreign airports looking for US citizens who break the law.

Incidentally, it's not illegal for a US citizen to travel to Cuba, it's illegal for you to spend money there. And no, you can't convert it to another currency and then say you didn't spend any dollars there. If you go, you are automatically assumed to have spent money there and are subject to fines and jail time.

By the way, IMO Castro is about as awesome as Hitler.

Answer 3

wrong, wrong, wrong. There are flights to Cuba from Miami, they are rare and of few occasions, family members of Cuban and American nationals are allowed to fly both to and from Cuba from US soil. If you are not family it is nearly impossible to get aboard one of these flights. However, it is possible through student visas through major education institutions to get into Cuba. Semester at Sea is famous for taking people to Cuba and from personal experience i can tell you it is a wonderful place and Castro is awesome. Michigan State University also carries a program for study abroad in Cuba, if you are not a full time student it is much more difficult to enter, you are not allowed to spend more that $125 a day in the country so it is difficult to make your way around and have a place to stay. There are available flights from Mexico, Canada and Europe, however under the bush administration and the patriot act, there are now US customs officials that are allowed to be stationed at these airports and they are allowed to arrest and serve you with violating the Trading with the Enemy clause or 1915.

Answer 4

To quote the great Phil Ochs from his song "The Ballad of William Worthy";
"The only way to get to Cuba is to join the CIA"- otherwise it seems a pretty torturous task to get there from the US-much easier but probably more expensive, to fly to another country first and then to Cuba from there- the joys of living in the "free world"!!

Answer 5

Answer 7
