January through March is Cuba's sweet spot: dry season, cooling trade winds, and the colonial cities at their most photogenic. July and August bring humidity and hurricane risk but also lower fares. December fares spike sharply around Christmas and New Year, so book at least ten weeks ahead if you want those dates.
| Month | Price Band | Demand | Travel note |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | Mid | High | Peak dry season; book 8-10 weeks ahead for best fares. |
| February | Mid | High | Havana Carnival brings extra demand; accommodation fills fast. |
| March | Mid | Medium | Still dry and pleasant; spring break adds North American demand. |
| April | Budget | Medium | Post-spring-break lull; good value before rainy season. |
| May | Budget | Low | Rainy season begins; fares drop noticeably. |
| June | Budget | Low | Low demand; cheapest month for European connections. |
| July | Mid | Medium | European summer holidays push demand up slightly. |
| August | Mid | Medium | Hurricane season peak; travel insurance strongly advised. |
José Martà International Airport, IATA HAV · 18 km from Old Havana · 15 km from Miramar.
José Martà is Cuba's primary international gateway, handling flights from Miami, Cancún, Toronto, Madrid, and several other European cities. Terminal 3 handles most international arrivals and has been modernised, though immigration queues can stretch significantly during peak season. Arrive with your Tourist Card already completed and CUP or convertible currency ready, as ATMs at the airport are limited and unreliable.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Official taxi (yellow cab) | Approx. CUP 800-1,200 | 25-40 min to Old Havana |
| Shared colectivo taxi | Approx. CUP 200-400 per person | 30-50 min, shared route |
| Pre-arranged casa particular transfer | Approx. CUP 600-900 | 20-35 min, door to door |
Juan Gualberto Gómez Airport, IATA VRA · 10 km from Varadero resort strip · 140 km from Havana.
VRA is the entry point for most package holiday travellers heading to Varadero's all-inclusive resorts. It receives charter and scheduled flights from Canada and Europe, particularly in winter. The terminal is compact and straightforward, though baggage handling can be slow. If you are heading to Havana rather than Varadero, factor in a long transfer or a separate domestic leg.
| Transport | Cost (approx) | Duration |

| Hotel shuttle (pre-booked) |

Singapore Travel Agent LicenceTA04059Cuba rewards travellers who plan ahead and stay flexible. Fares from North America are most competitive in September and October, when hurricane-season demand dips. European bookers often find better value routing through Madrid or Paris. The island suits curious, patient travellers more than resort-hoppers expecting seamless logistics. Book your Tourist Card early, carry cash, and expect the unexpected.
Nine UNESCO sites and beaches at Varadero and Cayo Coco don't come with polished logistics, and that's rather the point. JosĂ© MartĂ's Terminal 3 has been modernised, but bring your Tourist Card filled out and cash in hand, since the ATMs can't be trusted. A paladar meal under USD 10 tells you where the real value sits: not in the fare, but in what waits on the other side of immigration. This is a Caribbean for the patient, not the resort-hopper.
