Jamaica can be very affordable with some planning. The birthplace of the ‘all-inclusive’ resort, the island standard is high so it’s easy to find one that will appeal in Montego Bay, Negril or Ocho Rios. For a resort experience that’s a bit more tucked away, try Port Antonio on the northeast coast.

Norman Manley Airport (KIN) is located 19km south of Kingston, the island’s capital. There’s a direct bus every 30 minutes from the airport to the city centre that takes about 40 minutes or you can take a taxi from outside the terminal.

With a motorway connecting the island, travelling to popular resort areas in Montego Bay or Ocho Rios is easy if you’re looking to explore the island.

We recommend pre-booking a transfer before you go to save money and avoid the queues. You can add a transfer once you’ve booked your Jamaica flight or holiday.
