Cheap flights from Havana to Toronto

Incredible culture, great food, a compelling dramatic history and a stellar location in the Caribbean. That’s Cuba for you, and Havana is the metropolitan center of it all. Canadians have always been keen on southern destinations, resulting in several options for air travel between the two cities, and prices are amazingly low during certain seasons. Get the timing right and you can enjoy a whole vacation that includes flights between Canada and the Caribbean for less than what it costs to fly a floatplane into northern Ontario. You might want to keep your eye on the weather if you travel south in the summer, as a hurricane can be every bit as dramatic and dangerous as a snowstorm.

Flying out of Havana

Despite pesky trade embargoes, sanctions, and isolationist policies on the part of certain ideological politicians, Cuba is a popular and accommodating tourist destination. Many Americans would use Toronto airports as transfer points when making the trip for fun, or to buy commodities like rum, cigarettes, or other notoriously high-quality Cuban products. This is a trip that many global travelers take just to flex those duty-free muscles.

José Martí International Airport (HAV) is the only international airport on the island, and is your first step on your journey to Toronto. Some still call it by its former name, Rancho-Boyeros Airport. The airport consists of three terminals, with international flights leaving from Terminal 3. Free transfers are provided between terminals for passengers.

Airlines that Fly from Havana to Toronto

The availability of flights to Toronto from HAV vary greatly depending on the season. Winter has more daily flights to meet the increased demands of Canadian snowbirds as they fly south. A great advantage for consumers is that American carriers are also taking advantage of more open travel to Cuba, driving prices down even more.

• Air Canada, the national carrier that uses YYZ as its hub, knows what the people want, and in this case it’s regular, daily, direct flights to and from Havana in any season.
• Westjet teams up with national Cuban airline Cubana to serve this route with a stop in Cancun, Mexico.
• American Airlines can take you home to Toronto from Cuba as long as you don’t mind a stopover in Florida.
• AeroMexico yet another national carrier that flies this route, their service includes a stopover in Mexico City.

These are just a quick summary of the airlines that serve the Havana to Toronto route throughout the year. In the winter months and holidays, airlines like Sunwing are included on the list, although these flights are often bundled with vacation packages.
