Houston will soon be the latest airport to offer flights to Cuba.

The first charter flight to Cuba from George Bush Intercontinental Airport takes off on Thursday with 80 Houstonians on board.

Until now, Miami, Los Angeles and New York were the only U.S. cities offering flights to Cuba.

Last March, George Bush Intercontinental Airport was cleared as once of the few airports in the country to offer flights to Cuba. President Barack Obama only recently eased travel restrictions to Cuba.
