Interesting article in the Observer. Hopefully speeds things up upon arrival????
Norman Manley too. If you have the time / interest flying into Kingston is a breeze, very big terminals little waiting.
Thank you for the link. Would appreciate knowing if they speed things up. We arrive on a Sunday around 2.20pm and there are 12 other flights landing between 1.40pm and 2.40pm. Still trying to decide on Club Mobay for arrival.
Report from Linston's airport pickup today........Quote:

GET CLUB MOBAY if you don't have two hours to spare. You must book 48 hours before arrival
We get in next Friday with just about amount of flight at the same time......
We really don't mind the wait
we got in Friday afternoon, it was not bad at all. Glad we didn't do Club Mobay this time, we decided it would have saved us only 10-15minutes at most this time.

Cap
is it typically slower after that time of day? I've checked the flight tracker for sundays, but its a bit early, as we don't get there until Feb 15 and leave Feb 22. Both our arrival and departure are later than that. 430 and 525, most of the flights are done by that time. Def don't want to wait for two hours and would do mobay if that were the case. Any thoughts?
You should be just fine for those dates and times.

I have flown my last 8 or 10 trips into Kingston mostly because I have friends there but 2) with the road systems in place in JA now driving (getting a transport) From Kingston to to Negril isn't a huge problem. I for sure don't want to take business away from all who work in MoBay (whatever their job) just saying that they really over built Norman Manley Airport to the point it is often close to empty compared to Sangster.
thanks captaind! I've been going back and forth over the last month on whether to buy it or not. We'll probably just take our chances, but then we did see the TA was offering it for $30/person/way. After being on the forum for a bit now, I'm a little bummed we didn't get linston for our transfer, but had already went with another vendor. I've added his contact to my trip notes and will reach out if we need help with getting to tours or around town. Thanks agian for the insight!Quote:
