Charter Flight: Miami to Havana

Note: Prices shown are starting one-way charter prices. Final pricing depends on aircraft, dates, positioning, and demand, and your quote is one all-in price.

Direct travel between the United States and Cuba requires authorization under one of the categories established by the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control. General tourist travel is not permitted. Travelers must qualify under one of the following authorized categories:

Travelers must document their travel category and retain records for 5 years. Hogani Jets requires written confirmation of OFAC authorization before coordinating any Cuba charter booking.

Nonstop from Opa-locka Executive Airport (KOPF) or Miami International Airport (KMIA) to Jose Marti International Airport (MUHA) is approximately 45 minutes. The distance is approximately 210 nautical miles across the Florida Straits.

Despite the short flight time, total trip time is longer than the flight itself due to Cuban customs and immigration processing at MUHA. Private jet arrivals clear through a dedicated international terminal, but Cuban customs processing typically adds 30 to 60 minutes to the arrival experience.

One-way charter pricing from Miami to Havana by aircraft category. All prices are all-in and include Cuban landing fees, overflight permits, and handling. A short-haul minimum billing of 2 hours applies on this route.

Private and commercial charter flights from the United States to Cuba are authorized only from the following 16 airports, per US government regulations:

All US passport holders traveling to Cuba must have a Cuban tourist visa, known as a tarjeta del turista, regardless of their OFAC travel category. For authorized charter travelers, the visa is typically arranged as part of the charter booking process.

Cuban customs at Jose Marti International Airport processes private jet arrivals through a dedicated international terminal. Processing time is typically 30 to 60 minutes. Items subject to Cuban customs restrictions include electronic equipment, large quantities of goods, and certain medications. Customs officers may inspect baggage at their discretion.

US credit and debit cards generally do not work in Cuba. Travelers should carry sufficient cash in a currency that can be exchanged on arrival. Euros and Canadian dollars are commonly accepted for exchange. US dollars carry a 10 percent exchange penalty at Cuban government exchange offices.

All authorized travelers must qualify under one of the OFAC categories listed above. The following groups represent the most common qualifying profiles on this route.

Family visits: US persons with close relatives who are Cuban nationals or Cuban permanent residents, visiting under the family visits category.

Journalists and media professionals: Persons regularly employed in journalism traveling for reporting assignments, documentary work, or related activities.

Academic and educational travelers: Students and faculty traveling under organized educational exchange programs or university partnership agreements.

Religious organizations: Groups traveling for activities directly connected to religious practice or humanitarian projects sponsored by US religious organizations.

Empty legs on Cuba routes are rare compared to domestic routes due to the limited pool of operators authorized for US-Cuba charter and the regulatory complexity of each crossing. When they do appear, savings typically run 20 to 35 percent off standard one-way pricing.
