OneWorld and Cuba

[Cocitus23]

I thought that all that business about Cuba being a banned destination from USA was over, but maybe I'm wrong. I am trying to plan a OneWorld RTW ticket, with Havana as a stopover. However, the One World map indicates no airport in Cuba. Despite this, AA has flights into HAV. What's going on?.
What does one do?
A. Go to Miami and buy a separate return ticket to Havana?
B. Go to Mexico City and buy a separate return ticket to Havana?
My ideal route would be Dallas Fort Worth - Havana - Lima.

All suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

How about LAX - MEX - HAV - PTY - LIM?

Thanks, Milboo. But can such an itinerary, involving a stopover at HAV, be achieved using a One World RTW ticket? That is my question. If not, what is the most efficient way to visit HAV in conjunction with a RTW ticket?

Even though US based airlines now have flights to Cuba and the embargo has been loosened, there is still an embargo in place and their are extra requirements for the US-Cuba flights.

The xONEx rules state that AA can't be used at all on a ticket that involves Cuba.
The best option to go to Cuba during an xONEx is to do it as a side trip from a stop over in Mexico or northern south america.

Thanks, Himeno. I like that - informative, authoritative and concise.

Yep we had the same issue on a circle pacific back in 2008.

Booked as BNE-LAX-JFK-CUN-DFW-SCL-AKL-BNE

Side insertions of SA pass SCL-ANF-SCL-EZE-SCL and CUN-HAV-CUN (with MX at the time).

So despite changes, yes, separate ticketing required.

Much appreciated, docjames. I know that you are a reliable font of knowledge on travel within North America.

Er . . just one small thing which has me mystified. I suspect that it's no more than a typo on your part, but I did not recognise AFO. I looked it up and I see that it's Afton Wyoming. By chance, I have been through Afton and it doesn't have much to recommend it. In any case it's a most unlikely destination for a side trip out of Santiago. Perhaps you could satisfy my curiosity.

Thanks,

My bad, i meant ANF (Antofagasta Chile).

Docjames,

You are forgiven! Actually, I should have guessed, because in my former life in the mining industry I did that flight SCL - ANF to access the copper mines in the Atacama Desert.
