ФАА Вам хоть куда лететь разрешит, а вот Куба впустить только с разрешения чуть ли не самого Фиделя и по очень важному делу. Наша а/к туда летала в середине 90-х только после самого высокого разрешения и когда на Кубе была программа лотереи когда народ мог выиграть полет во Флориду чтобы повидать родственников. Иначе никого никуда не пускают. Ближайшие родственники не видятся по 30-40 лет.
Просто на пролет заявка даётся за 24 часа и вход в зону нужно запрашивать за 10 минут до входа. Вообщем шпиономания пока на высоте.
Да и погреться получиться если только дикарем.
Не нужно людей с толку сбивать, все ровно наоборот... Получить кубинское разрешение на прилет на Кубу - проблем вообще нет. Есть проблема с тем, что правительство США запрещает полеты американских ВС на Кубу без специального разрешения, которое получить крайне сложно (можно считать, что для обычного развлекательного полета - невозможно).
It has been said that foreign policy can be an exasperatingly detailed process — particularly our own sometimes, so we will keep this discussion along aviation lines. Very simply, we have a trade embargo with Cuba. U.S. citizens are prohibited from spending any money in Cuba under the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917 as last updated by Congress in August 1997, and by the Export Administration Act of 1979 as last renewed by President Clinton by Presidential executive order in August 1999.
Although the Cubans might happily welcome you, they do require a visa (a document, not the card). Application fees for a visa would immediately put you in violation of U.S. law. Also, an aircraft is a financial asset subject to the export controls of the trade embargo law. You may have read in the daily newspapers that "fully hosted" travel to Cuba; i.e., going as a guest spending absolutely no money, may be legal. The proof, however, of "no spending" is the burden of the traveler, and he/she may not depart directly for Cuba from U.S. shores or territory, by law. No, you can't fly in from the Bahamas or Mexico without license because you would be taking a financial asset, the aircraft, into Cuba.
In our current U.S. policy, here are the exceptions, by general license, written into the law. The following categories of travel are permitted:
Persons regularly employed as journalists by a news reporting organization and supporting personnel.
Official government travelers, including representatives of international organizations.
Visitation of close relatives in case of humanitarian need. Note: limited to one trip per 12 months and limited in expense per diem.
Full-time professions in academic research — with research qualification.
Full-time professionals whose travel is related to a meeting or conference of an international professional association.
Amateur or semi-professional athletes or teams for participation in a relevant international sports federation event.
Also, specific case-by-case licenses may be issued for:
Numerous educational programs from a licensed college — with many qualifications.
Religious organization activities.
Humanitarian travel.
Free-lance journalism, with a record of past publication.
Certain public performance activities.
Certain activities of private foundations, research or educational institutions of a non-commercial nature.
Licensed, specific exportation.
