CUBA Embargo

[burnt]

Qantas ticketing still have an embargo on issuing any tickets that include travel from the US to Cuba (on OW partner AA)

Any body seem to know why this is as the US Govt obviously does not have an embargo any more and AA are flying there.

Is it just the internal guideline is out of date and ticketing have not been advised of recent changes?

I would assume logistics need to be worked out including the Australian Govt giving AU carriers the ok?

US airlines start flying to Cuba Dec 1 so I would imagine nothing will happen locally until the new year...it would be good to be able to buy a fare from QF to say HAV with a stopover in LA or Dallas however I note all US flights currently seem to be departing from MIA/JFK/other east coast cities only.
