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 Obamas 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 6s 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.
I’ll pay for you for a one way ticket.
I’ll send you my account info.
LOL
Canadians have been able to vacation in Cuba for many years now.
Relatively few do. Feedback is it’s not that great.
Obamanation
FIRST flights set to RESUME?
Little oxymoronic would you say?
We’d be better off allowing immigrants from Cuba to the U.s., than Staten Island.
lol
Wouldn’t it be JUST TERRIBLE if those flights blew up just after landing on the Cuban tarmac?
Why would you want innocent airline passengers to die, you sicko?
