New Flights and Increased Air Service to Jamaica

Sunday November 22, 2009

One thing Jamaica has always had going for it is accessibility, and some new flights are making it even easier to get to the birthplace of reggae and Usain Bolt, island officials say.

 

JetBlue, AirTran and US Airways are among the airlines offering new service to Jamaica. Last month, JetBlue began flying from New York to Kingston; the airline also added service to Montego Bay  in May and plans to expand MoBay service to Boston and Orlando, as well.

 

US Airways will debut nonstop service between Phoenix and Montego Bay in December, and AirTran will start flying to Montego Bay from Atlanta, Baltimore and Orlando in February.
