Hello all, I am already planning a trip from Vienna for Feb/March 2026 and aiming for Cuba. I was looking for airlines and the cheapest options i found were Condor and Iberia, and the shortest trip was Air France (I am checking the airlines for this year because the ones for next year are obviously not there yet). I was wondering what do you know about Condor and Iberia and if they are any good (i am also planning to take a checked in bag because i will probably stay around 2 weeks), or if i should just pay the extra 300 euros and go Air France? Any insights would be great.

We flew to Havana from Miami a few years ago and I believe it was Condor. It was fine but a very short flight for us. So if you are coming from Vienna I would look at the comfort offered by the airlines. If AirFrance was more comfortable it might be worth the extra money.

First off, flights for Feb/March 2026 will not go live for another 1-2 months. So any
fares you see now do not necessarily apply for Feb/March 2026.
Second, the best fares will most likely not be the ones that are posted when the
flights go live. Best to check travel sites that can give you some idea of how fares
have tracked historically, to get some idea of how far out in time the best fares are
usually available.
Are you planning to fly economy, or a higher class of service? Depending on the fare,
some of the extras (such as bag fees) may be included, and be differently priced on
different airlines.
I suspect you know this, but you cannot transit through the US to fly to Cuba unless
it is for a specific, allowed reason per the US government.

I’ve flown Iberia a number of times to Europe and had no complaints. I would not hesitate to use them in the future.
