Question, if I have Single Divers book my airfare, when will that happen?  Asking, because I assume I will need to book airfare from my home city to the departure airport booked by SD.  Please advise.

As mentioned before we can not book for 330 days or so before the trip. So technically the window is now open. In order to book we need to know if you plan to do the pre-tour in Havana or if you want to just go straight to the boat. Once you know that then you can book your tickets to either HAV or CMW and on the return either out of CMW or HAV but only the latter if you are doing our post trip tour.

 

I need to lay these options out for everyone but things change quite dramatically in Cuba so I'm still working out the tour options. Last time we arrived 3 days early into HAV and did whirlwind tours then traveled 6 hrs via bus to the boat and most flew out of CMW unless you did the 6-7 hr drive back to HAV.

 

NOTE:  You can not book a flight out of HAV earlier than 6:30 pm if you flying back to the US. To fly back out of HAV you need to either stay a few extra days on the backend 'roughing it in Cuba' or book a flight back to the US at 6:30 pm or later.

 

Once you know what you want to do...then you book your flight all the way to Cuba. OR you book a flight to Miami and you join the group flight to MIA that I and most others will be on. We choose a group flight so we can all stay together, get thru Cuban customs more easily and not get taken advantage of getting to our hotel, etc.

 

I'm in the middle of 3 back to back trips but let me work on this as soon as they are done. Pop a reminder here or via email and I'll get this more organized then. Thank you

No rush.  I just wanted to make sure I wasn't lax in my side of the planning.  All good!
