Time difference against Mexico City. In July, La Habana runs 2 h ahead of the Mexican capital (UTC−4 versus UTC−6). In January the airport operates on UTC−5, so the gap is not constant across the year: daylight saving shifts it. This is the calculation that decides whether a pre-booked ground connection still works.

What each code is for. The IATA code (HAV) is what the bag tag and the ticket use; the ICAO code (MUHA) is what flight plans, NOTAMs and flight trackers use. To follow the inbound aircraft that will become your flight, ICAO is the one that returns reliable results. And if HAV is not printed on your bag tag, the bag was not checked through to here — worth catching at the counter.

How this list is built. These are the airlines appearing in catalogued routes that touch HAV, not the airport’s full directory: a carrier that flies here but not on a pair we cover does not appear. The type — full-service or low-cost — and the allowance come from our own record for each carrier, and where the datum does not exist we say so rather than filling it with a plausible number.

25 kg separate the most generous operator from the leanest at HAV. That gap is what reorders prices once the bag is in: a cheaper base fare on a carrier with no included baggage can land above a full-service one the moment you check a single piece. Compare the total, not the headline figure.

Why some rows have no fare. A dash means the automated query got no result for that pair when this page was prepared — not that the route is suspended or expensive. For those pairs the reference price comes from the live search, which queries current inventory.

Connection tips

HAV concentrates 85 catalogued weekly departures across 4 airlines, in the America/Havana zone. That density is what decides how much slack to leave on a connection: the more of its own services the airline runs here, the more same-day rebooking options exist.

Aeropuerto Internacional José Martí runs on the America/Havana time zone; factor the offset from your origin city when planning connections and transfers. The busiest route at HAV is CUN-HAV (~28 flights a week). Book 4–8 weeks ahead for the busiest routes to/from La Habana; fares climb in December, Holy Week and summer. Each route guide above shows month-by-month seasonality and the lowest peso fare. That window is a general Mexican-market rule of thumb, not a measurement of this route: our series records observed prices, not the lead time at which each ticket was bought.

The cheap connection that loses the checked bag. Two separate tickets are not one itinerary: there is no interline agreement, the bag is not checked through to the final destination, and if the first flight lands late the second airline owes you nothing — it sold a different flight. The apparent saving evaporates the moment you buy a same-day replacement. On a single ticket, rebooking and the bag transfer are the carrier’s problem, not yours.
