First Commercial Flights Between U.S., Cuba on American Based Airlines Set to Resume Wednesday
NBC Miami ^ | 8/31

Posted on 08/30/2016 2:06:56 PM PDT by nickcarraway

For the first time in over half a century, commercial flights between the United States and Cuba will resume on Wednesday – and NBC 6 reporter Amanda Plasencia will be on board one of the flights, providing you extensive coverage of these historical journeys.

As part of President Obama’s efforts to restore relations with the island nation just south of Florida, a potential of 110 round trip flights will take place each week between the countries. That includes 20 daily flights to Havana and 10 each to other cities in Cuba.

The flights will come from airports across the country. Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport will see their first flights take off Wednesday on JetBlue, one of the airlines that bid for the rights to transport passengers.

NBC 6’s Amanda Plasencia will be on that flight, so you can look for her reports after her plane lands in Santa Clara.

The first flight out of Miami International Airport will be an American Airllines flight on September 7th.

Canadians have been able to vacation in Cuba for many years now.

Relatively few do. Feedback is it’s not that great.

We’d be better off allowing immigrants from Cuba to the U.s., than Staten Island.

Wouldn’t it be JUST TERRIBLE if those flights blew up just after landing on the Cuban tarmac?
