Pact for U.S.-Cuba flights seen by year-end: Cuban official

[El Presidente]

Probably a long shot, but an Australia - LAX - Havana flight might be a possibility by the time I head to Cuba next year.

Small mercies perhaps....but it would cut travel from Oz to Cuba by some six hours each way

She said the deals expected by the end of the year would also cover environmental protection and the fight against drug trafficking.

Didn't Cuba and the Castro's help the drug trade and traffickers in the past? That interesting fact was almost a side note in this article.

I'm lucky, I live in Miami so I can hop on a ferry or small cruise ship for a few hours

Thing is, and I am more than happy to stand corrected. But, Non US citizens, cannot travel on flights from US-Cuba as yet.

If this changes, yes it would be good for many of us. Flights from UK-Havana, are a nightmare, Virgin Atlantic are good, but $$$£££. Sure its the same elsewhere.
