I don't think Cubans need a visa for Venezuela, but better if they ask at the Consulate.

Hello there, you should ask at the consulate, but in theory: as long as you do not leave the airport in your international connection area, you would not require a visa.
You leave the airport and its international connection area?
Good Morning
I need information about the following:
The flights that are being operated Havana-Managua with a technical stopover in Cancun, with VivaAerobus aircraft…… that are currently for sale……
On those VivaAerobus charter flights, Cubans with final destination Managua can board, no need to have a visa to Mexico ?
Would there be a problem with that??
I ask you because the managers who are offering those air tickets here in Cuba say that as long as it is a one-hour technical layover in Cancun, there is no need to get off, there are no problems..
Will this be true?
Can Cubans without a visa to Mexico board that flight?
I appreciate any information.
Thanks
they could do it, as long as they don't get off the plane and have to migrate.
copied Nicholas. Thank you very much for your instructions.. Greetings.
greetings George.
AVIANCA notified me today of a change to the round trip flight from Costa Rica to Los Angeles, THAT. Now the duration of the flight will go from 6h20m to 7h55m. The new itinerary indicates “Direct flight”, but when consulting the reservation I see that they included a “technical stop” in Guatemala. They kept the same reservation code. I worry about having to stay 1:35 more hours on the plane, which does not agree with the current situation by Covid. Are these changes normal or is there any claim? Thanks
As long as you have been notified, it's fine. If you don't like the itinerary, you can request to change your flight, Penalties could apply depending on the conditions of your trade,
Thank you very much for your reply Nicholas.. AVIANCA announced this new direct flight, which is the one that interests me, in order to ensure as little time as possible on the plane, So I would travel with 2 children of 7 Years and a half. Additionally, the previous itinerary would have allowed us to have lunch in Costa Rica before leaving, avoiding additional exposure to possible contagion. Reviewing the current offers, I see that this direct AVIANCA flight was eliminated. I guess it was not profitable for them, so they decided that “technical stop”. I imagine that during that “technical stop” additional passengers will board in Guatemala. Are the penalties applicable when it was the airline that changed the itinerary and therefore the flight time??
You would have to check with the local regulation, but i would think not, given that the passenger was complied with by offering him another travel alternative without canceling his flight. In any case, don't worry about the weather on the plane, while wearing a mask, it is very safe to fly.
Good morning, I have a ticket with 2 lime scales.. Brazil.. Brazil Madrid.. But I get no stop what does it mean. thank you very much help me.
no stop, it means that it is direct.
Air Europa makes a technical stop in Asunción on its Córdoba flight – Madrid, on the tickets it is specified as a technical stop, but he gets all the passengers off the plane for about an hour and a half and then gets them back on, they even board new passengers from Asunción.
excellent explanation, very clear and understandable
