Barring any more changes to the embargo, it's still illegal to travel to Cuba for general tourism — there are 12 categories for approved travel, however, including family visitation, journalistic or artistic activities and more. And as relations continue to improve, it's likely that the restriction on tourism could be entirely lifted soon.
The deal means that airlines can now operate up to 110 daily flights between the countries, including 20 daily flights to Havana — charter flights are still allowed to continue operating (and won't count against the 110-flight limit), but regular daily flights should begin soon. Also notable with this announcement is the ability to earn and redeem frequent flyer miles and points for travel — something not previously available with charter flights.
