Jet Blue may be flying to Cuba, I don't know, but there are already flights to Cuba from Miami. Not sure what airline(s) they are though.

I guess those flights from Miami must be Jet Blue since they were to be the first.Guess they could not wait till fall. Carnival is also starting cruises from Miami. Guess I will wait for my next trip to Cuba as it will be getting very crowded.

Sorry to hijack the thread, Elizabeth, and not sure where you got your information, but Jet Blue is definitely NOT the first from Miami. Possibly the first from New York. The Daily Herald has a story today, talking about cruises that will start going to Cuba, and it mentions that US airlines have been operating charter flights to Cuba for years. http://www.thedailyherald.com/index.php?...s&Itemid=54

I realize this thread has gotten somewhat convoluted, but Terry is saying that she booked her dates to SXM, not Cuba.

We just booked our flights from Chicago to SXM on JetBlue. We're going to spend 3 weeks on the island, the latter part of Febrary, beginning of March. Its the first time we've used JetBlue.
I went on the JB site, put in our dates, and looked at prices. I was disappointed as the fares were high: $494 to fly to the island; $290 to return, $1565 for both of us.
I've seen TTOLers talk about ITA Software, so I thought I would try it out to see what the competition was. Lo and behold, the JB flights were listed for $524 per person. But you cannot book from the ITA Matrix, one needs to go onto the JB site to book.
So, I browsed to google.com/flights as I know ITA was bought by Google. Entered my dates and presto, the lower fares were displayed along with a link to the JB site. Followed the link and purchased the air tickets for both of us for $1048 total.
Its weird. If I go to JB's site, they still say the fare is $784 per person. And google.com/flights still list the same trip as $524 per person.

Sorry Carol. That is correct, the first from New York. My information was gained from a few different TV channels. In the past, Americans were travelling on US Airlines to Canada and then on to Cuba. We met many American families who were doing that when we were there and they were on our flights.

Shows you what TV knows! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> I know that I have seen flights on boards in Miami for a couple of years which are headed to Cuba. And there was a flight from Cuba that was on the same luggage carousel when we got home this time.

joedotty said: Does anyone know why JetBlue pulled April flights? Was able to see them yesterday AM. Checked back last night and today but no luck. TY. They're having a computer glitch. See Pats recent post. She spoke to an agent who explained it might be a short time or even a week.
