On October 25, the Transportation Department announced that it would suspend flights from the United States to nine airports in Cuba beginning in December. The policy will sever air service to every international airport there except the one in Havana. This list has been updated to reflect this change of policy.

1. You can still go

The American government, as part of its ongoing economic embargo of Cuba’s socialist government, announced in June new rules for Americans traveling to Cuba, which included a ban on cruise ships. It also eliminated one of the 12 categories under which travel to the island has been allowed, the educational and cultural trips known as “people to people” trips. However, Americans can still visit the island under the “support for Cuban people” category, either independently or on an accompanied tour. That category requires you to spend money at Cuban-owned businesses throughout your trip, something you are certain to do, even without trying.

2. Air service from the U.S. is restricted to Havana

Starting Dec. 10, 2019, air service from the United States, which allows travelers to fly into 10 airports in Cuba, will be restricted to the Havana Jose Marti International Airport. This new policy, announced in October by the Transportation Department, demonstrates continued efforts by the Trump administration to rollback decisions made by the Obama administration to restore relations between the two countries.

3. You can get your tourist card at the airport

The process is simple. Most commonly, when you buy a plane ticket, the airline will ask you to select the reason for your visit (for most people, “support for the Cuban people”). Arriving at the airport, you’ll go through customs to your gate, as you would for any other international flight. At your gate, there will be a booth where you can purchase your tourist card, the equivalent of a visa. The fee will depend on which airline you fly. (Some tourist cards can be bought earlier and delivered online or through the mail.)
