Here is the next and perhaps the most important leg of the journey:

Re: Landing in Montego Bay from the pilot's perspective
The plane is an Airbus A-320(A-319/A-321). Interesting to see the Captain actually flying the plane. I got to sit in the jump seat of an A-320 into MBJ pre 9-11 and on that occasion the autopilot flew the plane until about 4 seconds before touch down, only at that time did the pilot reached over and grabbed the control stick. On my flight the pilot set the approach speed to 140 knots and it was amazing to watch the autopilot keeping that speed. Speed dropped to 139 and a little arrow pointed up on the display and the throttles moved forward a bit. Speed went up to 141 and the arrow pointed down and the throttles came back. The autopilot kept 140 knots +-1 knot and lined up right down the center runway. It was quite the experience.
Taliban wrecked it for anybody else to see live.

I'm a bit surprised to see his hand jiggling the joystick so much, I guess little adjustments here and there. Wow.
