For the traveler from the United States wishing to visit Cuba, the options usually included a 2nd country i.e. Jamaica, Canada and others offering non-stop service into Havana. However, starting in late June, there will be nonstop service between Los Angeles (LAX) and Havana.

Starting June 30, Cuba Travel Services, Inc. will be launching its first nonstop weekly flight from LAX to Havana, due to the Obama Administration's lifting of the travel ban on Cuban Americans.
“We are excited to resume the non-stop flights out of LAX to Havana that were in such high demand prior to the Bush Administration’s restrictions imposed on Cuban Americans that limited their ability to visit with their families in Cuba,” said Michael Zuccato, general manager of Cuba Travel Services, Inc.
These flight services will allow Cuban Americans to visit family whom they have not seen in almost five years. Cuba Travel Services, Inc. will also make Cuba more accessible to journalists, government officials and researchers.
