By Caitlin Huston<\/a>, Marketwatch<\/a><\/p>\n

If you and seven friends can scrap together $40,000, getting to Cuba just got easier.<\/p>\n

Private jet booking service Victor will begin offering direct private flights on Monday from 19 cities in the U.S. to Havana, Cuba. The company\u2019s service allows users to enter a destination, see price quotes and then book a private flight.<\/p>\n

Travel to Cuba for U.S. citizens is still limited as travelers have to be approved to visit under 12 visa categories. Victor has partnered with Cuba Educational Travel, which organizes travel to Cuba under educational visas, so that its fliers are approved to visit the country and have a set itinerary while there.<\/p>\n

The trip involves a custom Cuban itinerary with cigars and rum<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The itinerary could include cigar and rum tastings with country experts, riding in 1950s American cars and dinners with prominent cultural figures and historians, the company said. For a group of eight staying four nights, prices start at $40,000.<\/p>\n

David Young, senior vice president at Victor, said the company is adding the service because of growing demand for travel to Cuba. \u201cIt\u2019s the hottest travel destination,\u201d said Young.<\/p>\n

The U.S. has recently moved to normalize relations with Cuba after more than 50 years. Restrictions on trade and travel have been eased, and the U.S. Embassy in Havana reopened in August.<\/p>\n

JetBlue JBLU, +1.79% offers weekly direct chartered flights from New York\u2019s John F. Kennedy airport and said this week that it will add a second flight starting in December.<\/p>\n

Victor acknowledges that the private flights aren\u2019t cheap, and says it is aimed at a high net worth clientele. Many of the company\u2019s members are involved in entertainment or sports, he said.<\/p>\n

Being a member is free, and Victor has more than 40,000. The company takes a fee from each booking and partners with different jet operators. The company, which has raised $26 million in private equity, operates national and international flights with offices in London, New York and Santa Monica, Calif.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
