Thanks everyone for your input/info!
I ended up getting a new passport, rushed, last week. The old one expired 4 months after return but conflicting info about the 6 month rule prompted me to be safe rather than sorry (this was after calling the Jamaican High Commission in Canada as well as PICA in Jamaica at MBJ). Anyhoo...I know passport has a chip so expect to be using a kiosk.
2 more sleeps till departure, 3 till arrival
We did the Club Mobay upon arrival and our escort took us to the Kiosk for check in. There was no line there and very long lines in the regular immigration area, so I presume most people arriving didn't know they could use the Kiosks. No need to have a new passport as ours expire next year and they worked fine. We were out of the airport in record time - we actually had to wait for our luggage which was a first. If there is a Kiosk line in Atlanta upon our return, we will definitely be heading there!
Coming into Jamaica, you don't need to be a member of one of the Trusted Traveler programs to use the kiosk?
We are not members of a trusted travel group Lola
Where are these new kiosk located?
I agree. Where are they located? You come in immigration, walk down all the corridors, come into the hall where the booths are located. Before the booths there are a number of roped off lines where you get in line. Where are the kiosks? My flight is at the worst possible time; i.e. between 2 pm and 3 pm on a Saturday but I'm guessing 90% of my fellow arrivals know nothing about any kiosk. Are they far to the right or the left 'cause that's where I want to be. Using Club MoBay to go home but it is not an option for incoming as we have a number of friends coming from different cities at different times. I just want to be outside, sipping a Red Stripe ASAP. Is it true you no longer get a form to fill out on your plane?Originally Posted by pamc12345
All USA Passports issued after August 2007 are e-Passports per this website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_passport. They should look like this picture. Note the symbol beneath "United States of America"
are your referring that only passports with the chip work at the kiosks? I read in earlier posts about this that they do not have to have the chip..please clarify. Need to know coming in there tomorrow 12:35pm
