First, you will take your feeder flight to Paris on either an Embraer 195 or Airbus 320 family aircraft in economy class. For your flight to Havana, you will fly with Air France on a Boeing 777 with a 2-4-2 premium economy configuration.

Search & Book

This deal doesn’t have an expire date, but a minimum stay of six days or a Saturday overnight stay, and a maximum stay of twelve months applies. Available dates are between May to December, with most of the dates on May and June.

You can find suitable dates using our calendar above. When using Google Flights, be aware that the prices shown can be inaccurate. For example, most dates marked for €1,100 or less are actually €100-200 cheaper when you click on the price. We recommend booking directly on Air France’s website, but you can find cheaper prices with Skyscanner. However, booking on OTAs has its downsides.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Mileage

This ticket is issued in booking class Y for the feeder flight and booking class A for the premium economy leg of the trip. Here are the miles and points you can earn from this deal from Bologna to Havana:

Information & Tips for Cuba

Cuba is known for its colonial cities, tobacco fields, and beaches, with top destinations including Havana, Viñales, Trinidad, and Varadero. The official currency is the Cuban Peso (CUP), though foreign currencies like euros are often preferred in tourist areas. Prices can be inconsistent—basic goods and local transport are affordable, but restaurants, tours, and accommodations geared toward foreigners can be relatively expensive. The climate is tropical, with a dry season from November to April and a rainy, hurricane-prone season from May to October.

Cuba’s transport infrastructure is limited and often unreliable. Within cities, shared taxis and local buses are common but can be overcrowded and confusing for visitors. In Havana, there are some tourist-friendly transport options, but they can be costly. Traveling between cities is possible by long-distance buses like Viazul, which are geared toward tourists and relatively dependable, though slow. Trains exist but are generally outdated and infrequent, making road travel the most practical option despite inconsistent conditions.
