Montego Bay Airport

...travelling experience is landing at Montego Bay airport after a 9 hour flight. Yes i'm more than thankful to have my feet on the ground and to have finally reached my destination but i find the whole process of going through the airport a nightmare. You'd think i would have got use to it the amount of times i done it but last years visit was the worse. I flew out with my two small children , partner. my mum my brother, his girlfriend and little ...
...thing that hits you is the heat which is only expected as your coming from a cold country to a hot one. You have to walk what seems like miles to get to immagriation. Once we finally got there it was chaos. People everywhere there were no signs to show where you had to queue up. The queue was like a snake winding round and round everybody packed into one small room. To top it all there was no air conditioning. No seats so you had to stand up. It ...

Review of Montego Bay Airport

When we arrived at the airport in Jamaica from Manchester, we were surprised by how big it was. All the staff speak very good English. Apart from a new rep of our company, JMC, directing us to the wrong bus, we didn't have any problems with the airport. We had been told to watch out for the "Porters" are the airport, who would assume that you wanted a hand taking your luggage to your bus, put it on their trolley and expect you to pay afterwards. ...
...they are fine about it and wish you a happy holiday! As we'd missed our bus to our hotel due to JMC's mistake, we were hanging around outside the airport for around half an hour before another one came to collect us. Lots of the airport staff came over to talk to us and were very friendly - asking us where we were from, how long we were there for, where we were staying, etc. The return journey was just as good (although obviously we didn't want ...

Review of Montego Bay Airport

...2004, flying from Manchester to Montego Bay via MyTravel airlines. Although it was my first time travelling to the country, my dad who flew with me has been several times before however he usually flies directly to Kingston. After a 9 hour flight, I was pleasantly supprised to arrive at such a clean and tidy airport. It appeared that clean and tidy...that it actually seemed rather empty, but at least it looked nice. Despite the hot mid-august temperatures, ...
...air conditioning consisted of a few low power fans placed in the corner of arrivals! This definately wasn't one of the best things about the airport! The next downfall came when we tried to get through check in. This was amazingly slow! It brought a new dimension to the term Jamaican teabreak. We stood in queue for 20 mins and didn't move, depite there being several people at the desks. They just seemed to sit there. On a positive note, once they ...

Review of Montego Bay Airport

I could not believe how big this airport is and how clean it is. As soon as i meet the locals at the airport i remember thinking how polite and nice the people there were. There are signs clearly stating directions and the staff are helpfull. there were these ladies dancing and singing to everyone when we walked through the door into the airpot who were all dressed up in big dresses and all in bright colours which was nice. The food is ok and there ...
