Anyone know about the VIP area at Sangster ?

It is really really quite nice. You know the cost now, but here was my problem. I got there really really early with the intent of using it for a while. BUT Delta does not staff the front counter until a certain hour, and by the time I got all checked in and ready to use the lounge I only had one hour before flight time, and that will always be my problem as i have to go out on the first thing smoking. Now, if I get bumped, then a longer stay, it would be well worth it.

That's a
personal problem. That aside, it is VERY VERY nice, and I highly recommend it.

Oh one more thing, if you are first class on one of their partner airlines (of which DELTA is NOT), then you do not have to pay to go in at all, it is FREE for you.

JnJ,
Did you pre-book this, or can you purchase upon arrival at the airport? The website link has a booking tab that just shows "coming soon" when you click on it. It also doesn't indicate what hours it is open. Didn't see a phone # either.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing!

Melody there is a little booth near immigration that you pay at.

I also understand that you can buy the pass at some of the bigger resorts in Negril like Beaches. I have a friend traveling with her family next week and they purchased by phone. Apparently they only sell "x" number of passes during a specific time frame so it's probably best to purchase in advance if you are traveling on a weekend.

Melody,

We pre-booked through our hotel the first time. Second time we just used the booth at the airport. It only took 2 minutes
for us to get paid and signed in. Both trips were during Summer and did not have any issue with availability.

I don't remember seeing a booth or sign at the airport - is it before, or at security? I've only been through once and it was pretty busy. I guess I could ask at our check in desk. Unfortunately, it'll probably be at least a year away...
Thanks!

After you check in your bags. Right before you walk through security.

Oops, I made a mistake in my earlier post. My bf read my post and says he actually used an Amex Plat card (not a Diner's card) to gain free access to the club. I know if you are a member of Priorty Pass, you can also gain free access to the lounge, as well as First or Biz class passengers. Here are some photos of the club, including the Pickney Place (the kids sound proof play area):

I can't believe I did not know this existed, although it makes it feel better that rasta stan didnt either.
I will be doing this on all future trips on departure day I would pay 3 times that, as usually I just sit at the airport and cry for hours with kleenex's in hand I get so defeated by that limbo. Not yet home yet with family but wasting time on the island not out relaxing.

shellyk it definitely helps with the in between feelings. I am anxious and ready to be home with our son but extremely depressed to be leaving.

Not having to wait in all the lines is reason enough for me but I definitely appreciate being in the room and all it has to offer for us. I have never been one to sit still and comfortably for very long.
