About a year ago huge sanctions began to be lifted between the US and Cuba,following the embargo which was in location for decades. This was huge news for those looking to travel to Cuba, since it created more circumstances under which US tourists visit.
What is far from instant, or however,is actually restoring commercial flights between the two countries. Air treaties between countries are complicated matters even under normal circumstances, let alone a situation like this, and where they're making up for decades of non-diplomacy.
While both American Airlines and United Airlines immediately began the process of applying for rights to wing to Cuba,we knew from the beginning it wouldn't happen overnight, and that the process could capture upwards of 12 months.
Well, and it has now been over a year,and it looks like some genuine progress has finally been made. Apparently the US and Cuba will sign an agreement next week to restore commercial service between the two countries.
