Indeed, they can and they normally will. In our case, our agency has secured the necessary permits, documentation, charter flights and health insurance.

Sorry the Ticos have to connect now - and I remember flying LACSA some years ago (not to Cuba), before it was assimilated.

I assume a tour operator, such as Insight Cuba, who can take Americans to Cuba legally will help arrange for the health-insurance requirement to be met?


Costa Rica is no longer a gateway to Cuba. Avianca (formerly Taca) has pretty much "dehubbed" SJO, so their itineraries to HAV from here now require a connection at SAL or BOG. And Cubana no longer flies here.
