Liberty Island has been gaining popularity among domestic tourists in recent years. The absence of visa formalities, the prospect of a first-class exotic vacation and the peculiar mentality of the Cubans are the main "temptations" for our compatriots. Our article will be devoted to how to get to Cuba from Russia on your own.
Flight by Aeroflot
The only way to get to Cuba is by plane. Fortunately, today in Moscow and St. Petersburg airports there are many profitable and interesting offers, both from the domestic carrier Aeroflot and from the world's leading airlines. Let's consider the most promising ones.
It's no secret that a direct flight on the same plane looks more attractive. And this factor necessarily affects the final cost. Therefore, the most interesting offer for Russian tourists who go on vacation to the shores of Liberty Island will be an offer from the Russian carrier Aeroflot, whose planes make regular routes in this direction. It should be remembered that it is not always possible to use the services of the company. Aeroflot's aircraft fly to Havana airport only 2-3 days a week. Therefore, plan your route in advance and choose the best flight option.
So, if you have opted for a domestic company, you will be interested to know that the cost of a one-way flight will be 39-40 thousand rubles. Prices are indicated at the beginning of December, but closer to the New Year holidays, tickets can rise in price by an average of 5-10 thousand rubles. Therefore, we recommend booking your seats in advance. Making a flight from Sheremetyevo to Havana airport, you will have to spend 13 hours in the sky.

Alternative routes
From Moscow
There are also alternative offers from air carriers. In particular, the Cuban company "Cubana" is glad to offer its services to all Russian tourists, which makes several flights weekly. Please note that both the travel time and the cost of tickets here are an order of magnitude higher than that of a Russian carrier. For example, if you fly by plane with a transfer in Madrid, then the ticket will cost at least 47,800 rubles, and the journey will take at least 19.5 hours.
You can save a little if you choose the plane of the American company "Condor", which makes regular flights on the route of interest to us. So, you can buy a ticket for an aircraft of this company for about 39.5 thousand rubles. But be prepared for the fact that you will be able to see the shores of Liberty Island not earlier than in 41 hours!
After all, the planes of the American carrier fly along the route that runs through the airports of Chisinau and Frankfurt am Main. Only in the waiting rooms of these air stations will have to spend 19 hours and 6.5 hours, respectively. Therefore, be prepared for the fact that you will have to pay for a hotel room.
From St. Petersburg and other cities
If you fly from St. Petersburg and other Russian cities, you will have to make at least one change at Sheremetyevo airport. For example, you can fly from St. Petersburg airport to Cuba on Aeroflot planes for at least 40.5 thousand rubles, and the travel time will be at least 16 hours 15 minutes.
You can also enjoy your vacation in Cuba with the help of other air carriers. You can find a lot of offers that are worth your attention on the website aviasales.ru, with the help of which you can always purchase the cheapest tickets, consider the most advantageous offers from airlines and plan your route in advance.
Remember that you can get to Liberty Island through the airports of the United States of America, European countries, and even through Canada. For example, Mexican and American airlines fly daily from New York Airport. The cost of the flight, depending on the route, will be from 24 to 63 thousand rubles (depending on the availability of transfers).
You can fly from Vancouver Air Station to Havana for 37,200 rubles, while the travel time will be at least 26 hours! For the same time and price, you can fly from Berlin to Cuba. The company "Condor", already familiar to us, is again ready to offer its services in this direction.
Please note that depending on the route chosen, you may need additional expenses for hotel accommodation, transit visa processing (through some European countries, for example, the Netherlands).
You now have information on how to get to Cuba. As you can see, you have to choose only among the offers of airlines, guided only by your budget and personal preferences.
