No doubt it saves time, especially around the holidays; though, I think Jamaica does a good job of expediting people through immigration and customs. Last Christmas, the 21st, we landed and it took about 3/4 hour to an hour to get through. I don't really mind. It is part of the experience for me. I guess it all depends how you are at waiting and shuffling and where you want to spend your money. To me it isn't worth paying what they want for the 2 of us to save a half hour or so.
