I hope Andrew Holness knows about this

Of course only time will tell....
Air Canada & West Jet claim to be operating at the beginning of June...and we've heard of a couple of hotels opening in June.
There's been so much talk & so many cancellations....
I just keep hoping for the best & safest route for everyone.

I'll be on one of the first 5 flights from Orlando. I will happily quarantine myself on Zion Hill for 14 days.

I'm booked for what it's worth

I’m still in US unable to get home. Waiting for first flight too!
I thought quarantine is through govt? What is Zion Hill?

[Rob]

Christy,

The govt decides where you quarantine. Zion Hill is CaptD's place and he is hoping to self quarantine there....

But it is up to the government where you will be spending 14 days.

Folks,
the airlines are kind of in a scam mode right now. It is not up to them when they will fly to an international destination. It is up to when each country decides they will open their borders to allow flights in. They will list, and sell flights, and gladly take your money, to help with their cash flow, knowing good and well, that alot of flights they sell, will be cancelled. Not to be negative, but i would be shocked if anything were allowed before October or November. No one knows, i am just being patient.

100% yes!!!
We've watched a few folks try to get on (other) flights after their original flights were cancelled...just to have those cancelled also... BS!

yeah was told this over a month ago when I spoke to SW customer service manager.....
however it changed a week later...….and changed another 3 or 4 times.....
latest and greatest is that available SW flights from central FL are in July.....
really depends which airports you fly from......the Fall might be safe bet for tourist...…
nobody will really know till the powers in Kingston make a decision....
today is their first meeting with around 40 members in the recovery task force.....
it's headed by the infamous Minister Bartlett

Cool Runnings, Marko

West Jet had the first return flight from Toronto to be June 4th but that option has disappeared and now the earliest you can fly into MBJ on West Jet is July 4th. Air Canada is all over the map but from what I can understand (at least for now) Air Canada has a Saturday only flight from Toronto June 6th until June 20th when they will go Saturday and Sundays only for a bit.
