When it comes to booking your flights separately to Cuba it means looking for charter flights through one of the Canadian tour operators, or flights on Westjet/AC. Flights on U.S. carriers are out, since they don't fly to Cuba.
Those same charter flights are what the Canadian tour operators use when building their 'all inclusive packages'. As to whether you can 'beat' them or not by booking your own all inclusive hotel, well, that depends on how good a hotel deal you can find.
In my experience, all inclusive packages from the Canadian tour operators are quite competitively priced, just because there's so much competition. You do see the occasional crazy flight deal to Cuba, but it's usually from cities out East. There was one from Calgary last year though ($147 roundtrip after taxes to Varadero). But that's pretty rare!
