Price of Flights to Cuba Slashed

[IMG=18842-4474] According to experts, tickets to Cuba have decreased in price by approximately $100. ‘It is an unmistakable sign of too many flights to the country’, stated Vladimir Romanov, Genaral Director of The Caribbean Club Travel Company. You may recall from earlier News bulletins that in December travel market players forecasted an excess of flights to Cuba following the launch of a third flight to Havana by Aeroflot on Wednesdays and a weekly Moscow-Varadero flight by Transaero (see News, 28/12). The experts also forecast the possibility of dumping prices travel in the New Year. At present all experts agree that in spite of drop in ticket prices the situation is far from critical; they note that the situation has improved considerably since January 11th when the new Aeroflot and Transaero flights commenced and prices dropped by US $400 a ticket. However, the forecast for the coming period is not optimistic. ‘We expect problematic situation, though we hope that students taking their winter holidays soon will improve the situation’, said Elena Sapilova, Director of Caribbean Department of UTE Megapolus group. Nevertheless, some tour operating companies informed a BANKO correspondent, that the sales depth is satisfying at the moment: there have already been some early bookings for February flights.
