Will U.S. credit cards be accepted for travel on Cubana?
Soooo....I'm looking to buy Cubana tickets, but naturally my US card is likely not going to work on cubana.cu by the time I need them.
Anyone know the policy if I have someone else pay for them? Will Cubana ask to see the card when I check in?

Thanks - for anyone who finds this thread, I tried with Chase Sapphire Visa and it was initially rejected by Verified by Visa, but Chase was happy to manually approve when I called.

For some reason, Cubana has stopped taking American issued credit cards as payment - this has been in effect for the past few months - not sure why as it used to not be the case. So, two options:
1. Book through a travel agent located outside of USA - I usually use Edreams in Spain.
2. And this is the better option, use another airline... Avianca, Copa, Interjet or Aero Mexico are all great options, they actually run their airlines like a real company and are far some reliable that Cubana could ever hope to be... i personally will never fly cubana again if absolutely possible...

As the thread is focused on the airline, rather than travel to the country, please follow the discussion as the thread moves to the appropriate airline forum with a more specific thread title. Thanks, Ocn Vw 1K, Sr. Moderator.

Cubana is always delayed. Service both on the ground and in the air is closer to 0.5-star. Awful airline overall.
