Tui has cancelled all flights and holidays to Cuba through to the end of August after Grant Shapps on Wednesday (14 July) confirmed the country would be added to the UK government’s red list.

Tui has put its Cuba programme on hold until September

Tui confirmed shortly before midnight on Wednesday into Thursday that flight TOM134 from Manchester to Varadero on Thursday (15 July) would be cancelled. Customers have been given the option of a full cash refund or to change their booking to an alternative holiday departing at a later date.


"We won’t take customers to red destinations or those which require quarantine on arrival unless this can be foregone by a Covid test," said the airline and operator. Cuba will officially join the red list at 4am on Monday (19 July).
