How much to fly to Cuba from Moscow

How much to fly to Cuba from Moscow direct flight and with a transplant? Is there a difference between regular and charter flights, the number of places in the row, as fed in economy and business classes? What forms should be filled on an airplane in 2025, how much flights cost, other interesting facts are in the material of Eurotraveler.

Cuba – albeit long and exotic, but very popular beach trend among Russian tourists. And if it is true that literally all Cubans treat travelers from Russia with special warmth, then it is also true that the latter are hunting a vacation on the “Island of Freedom”.

Having come to terms with impressive prices both on tours and on separate flights. And not particularly focusing on the study of information about how much time the plane flies to Cuba.

And it is so clear that for a long time – the flight across the Atlantic ocean a priori is an tedious event. So does it make sense to be upset in vain?

In fact, yes. For the “charms” of such a trip are not only in a long stay in a closed space. But … however, about everything in order!

How many hours to fly to Cuba

The answer to this question is as simple as its production is at best from 12.5 to 14 hours. Although in some reviews it is argued that the flight took no more than 12 hours.

Regular direct flights, such as Aeroflot, following from Moscow to Varadero Airport or Hardines-del Roy on Kayo Coco, are stacked in the lower border. But charters spend more on the road – from 13.5 hours.

If you travel yourself and are going to make a peculiar timing, keep in mind that the time in Cuba is behind Moscow at 8 o’clock in winter and in 7 in the summer.

Since planes fly to the west, that is, follow the sun, you can, for example, fly out of the Moscow airport at 4.30 in the morning (Moscow time). And to land – at 9.30 in island dials. In the that remained far in eastern Moscow, meanwhile, the evening will already come – 17.30. That is, you will spend 13 hours on the way.

Previously, flights that provide for transplants, for example, in Paris, flew to Cuba. These are not even flights, whole travels, could last from 1.5 days and longer. Tickets at the same time, of course, were cheaper, because the trip from the tedious passes into the category of “stunning”.

However, the traveler got an interesting opportunity – for example, it was possible to look in Paris in a day. Well, or, rather, in a few hours that remained before the registration of the flight to Cuba.

Possible variations with a transit overnight in Amsterdam, or Munich also did not scare the greedy to the passenger’s new impressions. Provided, of course, that he was young and hot and flew not together with (tired and therefore aching) small children.

Charter or “regular”

The difference is actually there. At first glance, it seems to be not huge, but it will seem significant to many.

The fact is that charter flights that are forced to travel bags, as well as independent, but tourists who consider money tend to save on everything. And the number of seats in the salons of aircraft is slightly higher than the standards of regular flights.

As a result, you cannot throw back normally to sleep. What is there-tall passengers and they will not be able to get settled-their knees will try to crush the backs of the seats standing in front. That is, of course, the knees themselves will be crushed, the backs will almost certainly withstand …

Considering that flying to Cuba has about 13 hours to sit, sitting so, to put it mildly, is completely inconvenient!

As for the nutrition, it is usually served in a two -time format: shortly after departure and shortly before landing. But in the charter case, one “set” may well not be hot, but with an ordinary dry ration with – a wretched sandwich and a juice bag. What set you yourself can grab out of the house.

However, on distant regular flights, economy class passengers should not wait for much. Yes, there are more legs for the legs than in charters, and in the headrests in front of the standing seats there are monitors. But in the row there will still be 8 passengers (seating scheme 2-4-2).

You should not count on excessive variability of nutrition. And on his high taste, frankly, too. You can read the corresponding review, for example, here-IRECOMMEND.ru/Content/PERELET-S-AZUR-NA-KUBU-IOBRATNO.

In the Business Class everything is different. Convenient chairs, personal tables for food and little things, a beautiful feed, much more tasty dishes. Yes, and the stewardesses, one must think, smile wider. One misfortune – this happiness is not more expensive.

Prices 2025

Tickets for regular flights there and back will cost at least 100 thousand rubles per person. Naturally, in the not the most popular time of the year – not everyone will gather rest in Cuba in June (but in vain – as for us).

It is curious that for the indicated amount, sometimes it will be possible to purchase even tickets for Aeroflot flights. Although in most cases, the flagship Russian carrier will deliver you to Cuba and vice versa for a much large amount: 120-130 thousand rubles at least (prices for air tickets from Moscow to Varadero).

And yes – Aeroflot allows you to take 1 place of hand luggage weighing up to 10 kg and baggage – weighing up to 23 kg. What seems to be just gorgeous?!

Especially if you consider that you will probably want to bring any gifts and souvenirs from Cuba? Like many weighing bottles with Cuban rum?

Charters today do not fly to Cuba from Russia. And direct regular flights are sent exclusively from Moscow. Plans to diversify them in 2025 by the inclusion of a route from St. Petersburg in the flight program were not implemented due to a lack of dalnemagistral aircraft.

The cost of accommodation in Cuban hotels against the backdrop of the above prices looks … acceptable. Since living in 4-5 stars on the conditions of “all inclusive” will cost 10-12 thousand rubles per night. Of course, for two vacationers.

In total, it turns out that an independent vacation in Cuba is a slightly more devastating event than a trip on a ticket. However, not much. Yes, and the right to choose a suitable hotel, as well as the time of the trip, you reserve.

The cost of a tour of Cuba in June 2025 begins with 250 thousand rubles for two. But if you count on normal conditions and maximum comfort, it is better to focus on the amount of 300 thousand rubles or more.

What is needed and no longer needed

Passengers without masks on board aircraft in 2025 are allowed without problems. But a couple of years ago, such characters caused anxiety and nervousness among the staff. And many passengers also have

At the same time, it was understood that the mask will have to sit in the mask all the time of the flight. With the exception, apparently, the moments of eating. In addition, spare masks should have been present in the pockets of vacationers. Based on: 1 piece per 3 hours.

Did you calculate how much we need to go there and back? Now add a few more – it was also forbidden to appear outside the Cuban hotels without a mask.

Again, in coronavirus times, for registration for the Cuban flight, it was necessary to present a fresh (no more than 72 hours) negative PCR test for coronavirus. And to be morally prepared for taking the next smear – from the nasopharynx, of course – to arrive at the island.

Then the alarming expectation (up to 24 hours) began in isolation. If he turned out to be negative, you were released … to relax at large. If not, compulsory medical insurance entered into the case, and you yourself were sent to the insulator.

Note that the accuracy of testing on the “Island of Freedom” left much to be desired. The network is full of reviews about the positive results of ill and already recovered citizens. But to argue with the Cubans, of course, did not have to-got a positive result, gathered and went to a hotel-co-worker.

It seemed to be good there … In general. But painful – after all, a pair of a hundred meters is noisy and shimmers with turquoise, such a close, but distant Caribbean sea.

As for the citizens traveling with you, in the event of your departure to the observator, they also had to conduct another 5 days in isolation in the hotel room for another 5 days

But this has not changed

– On the plane on the way to Cuba, you still need to fill out a migration card (2 copies) – usually this is done using a airliner personnel. In 2025, to these leaflets but You don’t have to Superior the standard health status form-Blue-panorama.com/atassets/docs/modello_cuba.pdf.

Where once you honestly (?) Should have told if you have a fever, whether there is a loss of smell or taste, difficulty breathing, diarrhea … and a number of others, vividly interested (the observator if you want) taking the side of the symptoms.
