Your guide to booking flights to Jamaica

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
  • If you can plan ahead, the sweet spot for booking your flight is 7 weeks before your trip. KAYAK data shows fares in this window are around 10% lower than last-minute bookings (made within 2 weeks of departure). Not ready to commit? Set a Price Alert and we'll let you know when prices change.
  • If your dates are flexible, January usually has the best deals, while December tends to be the priciest. The best-time-to-travel chart on this page shows how prices move across the year.
  • Tuesday is usually the cheapest day to fly, about 8% cheaper than Thursday, the priciest day. If your dates are flexible, that's an easy way to save. If not, try nearby airports or a layover instead.
  • If arriving on time matters more than price, consider flying with one of the most punctual airlines flying to Jamaica: Southwest, Avelo Airlines, Delta, United Airlines or American Airlines.
  • If you're looking to save, Montego Bay Sangster Intl (MBJ) has had the lowest fares over the past 12 months. Just remember to factor in the cost of getting to your final destination.
  • Montego Bay is the most popular destination in Jamaica. Start your trip here and then check out these other places KAYAK travelers love: Negril, Ocho Rios and Kingston.
  • Consider a layover to Jamaica, it can cost less than flying nonstop. Tampa (TPA) is typically the cheapest place to connect.
  • Flights to Jamaica most often come through one of the island’s two major airports: Norman Manley International Airport (KIN) in Kingston and Donald Sangster International airport (MBJ) in Montego Bay. Both of these airports operate a high volume of international flights, but Montego Bay is a more popular destination.
  • Jamaican Dollars are the official currency of Jamaica; however, the island’s popular all-inclusive resorts, as well as some of the other popular tourist destinations commonly accept US Dollars. Jamaican Dollars will be needed if you’re going outside of the major cities, but you can use US Dollars near the airports until you can get to an ATM.
  • If you’re flying into Jamaica internationally then flying out to another destination, it can be beneficial to fly to Montego Bay, which is not only the biggest airport in Jamaica, it’s one of the biggest airports in the entire Caribbean. Flying in and out of Montego Bay gives you easy access to several different destinations both inside and outside of the Caribbean.
  • Tourists flock to Jamaica for Bacchanal Carnival, which can drive up flight prices. The carnival often starts slowly in the middle of February, but climaxes in late March, near the time of the final parade. Booking your flight to Jamaica outside of the last few weeks of March can help you get a better price.
  • The Reggae Sumfest is another lively festival held each July in Jamaica. If you’re traveling to the island for Sumfest, be sure to book your flight tickets early; and if not, booking your flight to Jamaica outside of the weekend during which Sumfest is held can save you money on your vacation.
  • When flying from the US to Jamaica, those with disabilities may consider landing at Norman Manley International Airport (KIN) when using the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)-KIN flight route. Travelers with special requirements and mobility issues can request assistance at the Los Angeles International Airport, such as luggage assistance, medical attention, and cab-to-aircraft wheelchair services.
  • The best locations to relax while waiting for a flight to various locations are thought to be airport lounges. Most low-cost tourists choose to leave from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) if they want to rest at a modest lounge before catching a trip to Jamaica from the US. Budget-conscious travelers can unwind before their flight in the Delta Sky Club, which provides high-quality amenities at reasonable prices.
  • Flying on JetBlue 1059, Delta Airlines, or JetBlue 1759 from Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) or John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) to Norman Manley International Airport (KIN) may be the ideal option for US parents who want to take their kids on vacation to Jamaica. These airports provide year-round non-stop service to Jamaica from the USA. Because direct flights make it possible to get to Jamaica in the least amount of time, the risk that your kids will be exhausted before they get to Jamaica from the USA is decreased.
  • If your flight from the US is planned to land in Jamaica at night and you're flying the JFK-Ian Fleming International Airport (OCJ) route, you might want to think about making hotel accommodations close to the OCJ Airport. A good choice is The Rica Vista, which is only a seven-minute walk from OCJ airport.
  • Most travelers going from America to Jamaica often prefer to depart via John F. Kennedy International Airport. This airport enjoys a high level of popularity because it serves as a hub for several reputable airlines that fly internationally from the United States. Due to the competitive pricing, passengers are likely to find travel offers when flying from this airport to Jamaica.

the flight was significantly delayed. Not much was done by the airline to compensate passengers

the flight itself was totally fine. The crew were great and very helpful. The flight was delayed, however, over an hour without a lot of information as to why.

Had to walk back and forth between concourses to figure out which gate I was supposed to be at. The app and the flight board in the airport had different gates listed. Was told numerous times to check bags only to get on the plane and find that there was plenty of room for bags. The flight was over an hour late which had me landing after the last train departed. WiFi was unusable

My experience was okay I changed my returning flight and I was charged extra money which I dont think should be the case, especially because I experienced small delays from my going flight. And many flights were either canceled or delayed after my original flight time. I believe some customers should have the ability to change flights due to certain situations

I've taken four flights with Southwest within the last three months and every single flight was delayed.

It was great and arrived home a little sooner than expected which is nice.

I fly out every other weekend and this is the 4th time my flight has been delayed at Southwest. I will be flying out twice a month on average for the next 6-7 months. If this is your average ‘on time’ I’ll probably be flying another airline.

WiFi was inoperable - second in four recent Southwest flights where that was true. I need WiFi for work and if Southwest cannot provide, I’ll stop using it

It’s too cold like fridge and they don’t offer a blanket with expensive price

It was a very good experience. No major issues at all.

Bad. Flight was delayed due to maintenance issue with Delta. Seats were small, no service, bag got broken on initial flight. Cramped and hot. Sitting inside with no ac.

Flight attendent didn't let me sit in the empty window seat literally next to me. Doors had closed already so I moved over. She came over, asked for my ticket and made me switch back to the middle. The man on the aisle and I were right on top of each other. Seemed like a real power trip for no reason at all.

The flight was delayed and passengers were told that they will miss connections as flight may get 40-55 min late.

The flight from Atlanta to Tallahassee was delayed, not such a big deal because it arrived almost the same original time. Most of my complaint is that one of the boarding agents and one of the flight attendants seemed bothered and were not very friendly.

Be on time. No issues with weather etc. entirely on airline.

Good flight — left on time due to on time arrival of Pittsburgh flight

I think in the future I cannot fly anything less than Comfort plus. The seats vary depending on the plane. The people are extremely nice and funny. I try to only fly Delta if I can help it.

It was terrible! Two hour delays, poor in flight service, made us check our carry on even though there was plenty of overhead storage

Boarding was good, was able to get on early and get settled in . Loved the glass of wine before take off. Once in the air the service was amazing, from the snacks, drinks and the food was good. The flight attendants were very good and attentive. Love flying with Delta..

Flight was delayed nearly one hour. Just because of Deltas poor management. Was so late reached home after midnight .

Stored my cloth purse under seat in front off me as instructed. When I retrieved it, half of it was soaked, along with everything inside it. I don’t really know how that could have been prevented because the area did not look wet, but I was not happy about it.

Seats needs to be wirer and food is very poor

Seats are uncomfortable and left me in pain in my tailbone area. I got about one hour of sleep.

Phx - ORD was nice 737 with starlink and the ORD - grr was ancient bare bones airbus with not even a power port lol

No white linens in premium economy . Salad was literally frozen. Food was terrible. No snacks. Ran out of food. I asked a flight attendant for snack on hour 8!of 16 hour flight and she said they don’t offer snacks and called me crazy for not having my own snacks for the flight.

It was easy to board, and the staff was friendly and helpful. What could have been better is that I shouldn't have to pay extra for a seat that doesn't recline.

Was on the plane sitting longer than the actual flight in air was, boarded at 5:45p and didn't take off until 6:50p flight was only about 30 minutes long. Just was poor experience will booking more with American Airlines.

Pretty much the exact same comments for this flight, there was crazy weather!

The guy in front of me was talking constantly, even when the pilot was making announcements. I found this very disrespectful to the pilot and to others.

Why is it that United flights from Newark are constantly delayed? Newark is a United hub!!!!!

The crew was not nice this time. I asked for a drink one time and the girl didn’t say anything to me and just got me the hot drink while walking super fast to the back. We were sitting in the back and she wasn’t doing anything except socializing. She was upset I asked for something and she had to do her job. I also didn’t fully have it in my hands when she handed it to me so it was dangerous. She was abrupt and rude. She wouldn’t allow for people to spread out like previous flights we had been on if they were empty, and there were empty rows. It was strange and she enjoyed being angry at us.

The plane was FREEZING COLD. Like I was wishing I'd brought gloves. Is this how JetBlue sells more blankets? Other than that, all fine. Crew just as nice as usual. A flight attendant asked (who? The pilot?) to have the air turned down for a great number of passengers who were as cold as I was. They (again -- who is "they") did not.

Flight was fine, but I was annoyed to have to pay for luggage again. We had paid for our luggage on our first two connecting flights with SATA Azores Airlines, but had to pay for luggage again with JetBlue at JFK airport. For one trip we paid over $500 for two suitcases to travel from Azores to San Francisco.

Everything was great the only issue was lack of Wi-Fi

Left a bit late duee to a technical issue, but got in early

Wonderful aircraft Crew was tired,but great considering On time No complaints

It was a smooth flight and the pilot was very pleasant

I'll nevere ever give up jet blue for years now and I will never change

JetBlue has too many delayed flights. I cant recall in the past two years flying with JetBlue without some form a delays. I expect better B6.

The communication was lacking. They delayed us over 8 hours keeping us on the plane, stopped for mechanical errors and then for the captain being over duty hours and then again for mechanical errors taking us to a different state and airport. It wasn’t fun, a lot of time and money lost. we felt trapped and hungry. A whole days of activities and vacation lost. I would have liked better communication and for them to allow us off the plane until everything was figured out. Also why couldn’t they share the food that was on the plane ? Snacks are not nutritious.

Wheel Chair Access sucked. I had a guy from Bangaldesh drop me off without taking me to the gate

The amount of gate changes and delays is completely unacceptable. This has happened on 3 of 4 trips between Chicago and Dallas in 2026.

I didn't like anything about this flight. The only reason anyone drinks Jack is because you ran out of Woodford. You should know to stock more Woodford. When you wait of first class hand and foot from the minute they get on the plane 5 feet from me but then start service from the rear of the plane so main cabin plus gets the scraps, that's how you get people to stop flying your airline.

American Airlines was horrible! The layover flight to DFW was delayed with no clear communication and for us having to stay the whole day which led to staying a night in Dallas was comped with 2 $12 dollar vouchers and a crappy hotel. We missed a whole day in Tokyo for our honeymoon and stressed the whole 24 hours. We were supposed to leave at the same time the following day, but that was delayed hours again. And instead of letting the delayed flight go first, they let the flight that was scheduled ahead of us. American should refund us the day wasted in Dallas that should have been in Tokyo! We had lost out on paid events that we can’t get refunded. When we finally did leave, it was a good flight. You would think that was the only issue with American but we from the LAX layover, we were delayed 6 hours and were given a $12 dollar voucher that covered a drink only. The only communication we were given then was that because they were delayed in a prior flight we were delayed again. I don’t understand why it was only with American that we had such a bad time with! They have definitely left a sour taste in our mouths for our honeymoon! And then they did send an email saying we could have 2K miles…. For what? To be delayed into another day and miss our flight again?

The delay update was very late. I had a stressful short connection and RAN through Chicago to get to the next flight, only to find the plane wasn't at the gate yet an nobody was boarding. I would not have had to run if the delay was updated earlier.

comfy and spacious seats for premium economy, nice flight attendants. only problem was the wifi did not work, and my entertainment screen was locked in Arabic language and all kids shows with no way of seemingly changing it. but the flight was fine and I arrived with no issues

extremely tight seats. seating next to a large person makes the space very uncomfortable. The crew is not very friendly either.

The flight was 3 hours and 40 minutes late. The communication around the delays was awful. I fly this route regularly and it is always late. I don't understand it. The flight attendants were not friendly and were generally loud. This was an overall bad look for American Airlines.

It was a late flight; crew was invisible. Zero air flow - the tiny plane was a sauna; the left the lights on for 1/2 of the flight; there was no water. Never again.

Nothing exceptional. No drink of any type, even in first class was provided for the hour and half trip.
