Flying to Jamaica and Transportation to Resort
Which Airport Should I Fly Into?
The Sandals all inclusive package comes with safe, reliable, and organized shuttle transportation from the following airports:​
​
-Montego Bay
-Ocho Rios
-Kingston
​
The Ocho Rios airport is small - and few airlines fly directly there. Southwest has expanded more fights there recently so it's worth exploring the option.
​
The most likely option is flying into the bigger airports. We strongly encourage flying into Montego Bay (MBJ), Sangster International Airport. It's closer to the resort, and receives the most USA air travel - making flights more numerous and economical.
​
Sandals even has their own little private lounge in the Montego Bay airport complete with comfortable lounge chairs, snacks, refreshments, and Red Stripe Beer on tap! Although, we have never waited more than 15 minutes for our shuttle van to pick us up. ​​​
​
How and When Should I Book My Flight?
Most airlines won't even schedule flights until 11 months prior. So you will need to book your flight after your resort reservations have already been made. ​
​
Flight prices fluctuate like the stock market - we strongly encourage you to use Google Flights to track flight prices for your dates. Link Here: Google Flights Link​
​
You can use Google Flights to compare prices from all airlines and airports. We encourage you to set alerts so that you can instantly see when prices drop to snatch up a good deal. Realistically prices will fluctuate with better deals within 3-8 months of the flight date, but will increase sharply within the last 3 months!​
​
Once you have your flights booked, you must log in to your Sandals Account and update your flight information. They will be picking you up from the airport and need to know when you arrive.
​
Do I Need to Arrange Transportation from the Airport to the Resort?
NOPE!
YOU JUST NEED TO UPDATE YOUR SANDALS ACCOUNT AND VACATION INFO WITH YOUR FLIGHT DETAILS. SANDALS WILL PROVIDE RELIABLE, SAFE, ORGANIZED, AND AIR CONDITIONED SHUTTLE VANS BOTH UPON ARRIVAL TO THE AIRPORT AND UPON LEAVING THE RESORT. ​
​
If you are staying in the higher end rooms you may even get a luxury car pickup included.

​
How Do I Find the Sandals Provided Shuttle Transportation?
Easy! Do not leave the airport, all you need to do is find the private Sandals Lounge. You can easily find the Sandals Lounge shortly after you clear through customs at the Montego Bay Airport (MBJ). You can't miss it. The Sandals Workers will be dressed accordingly and are expecting your arrival.
​
Approach the Lounge and give the employees your Resort Stay Info. They will announce your name for your shuttle usually within 15 minutes.
​
In the meantime, kick back on the comfy lounge chairs, grab a snack, and pour yourself a Red Stripe beer on tap - You're in Jamaica baby!
