Wheelchair assistance info
As some of you may know, I was in a wheelchair up until June of last year and after I was (haltingly) able to walk, I immediately booked a 70 vacation to Jamaica from Nov. to Jan. of this year.
I always arrange for a wheelchair to fly on both ends for a couple of reasons. The first is that you don't have to stand in any lines (on either side) and you get faster processing through Immigration and Customs on both sides too.
I normally tip the person who takes me from the plane to the outside of the airport $20 US and that seems to be a reasonable price to them as well. Because I am unable to carry my luggage, I have to get a porter to take the bags over to where my driver picks me up and I give $5 - $10 US for that short carry.
As I have friends to pick me up and I live in the mountains, I can't speak to the using a wheelchair at your hotel or in Negril area but "everything is possible" in Jamaica!
You might see if someone could "loan" you a chair to take with you just in case. I have two spares in a storage space so I would figure others would have one or two as well.
Try not to let this spoil your vacation and just work around it. Remember, Jamaica is "no problem" so keep that in mind.
