News keeps trickling in about Cuba, the travel destination so close to the United States that seems to be more fascinating to travelers than destinations halfway around the world. Since my trip to Cuba last year I’ve kept up with reporting travel info about that island nation 90 miles from Florida. Read my comprehensive article for more details and my gallery for photos of Cuba.
Air connections between the states and Cuba continue to develop. Newest of all: The US Department of Transportation just announced that six US airlines have been licensed to operate up to 90 round-trip flights a day to Cuba. The carriers are American Airlines, Frontier Airlines, JetBlue, Silver Airways, Southwest and Sun Country Airlines. Each will be permitted to operate flights from their hubs in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Chicago, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Philadelphia.
