Tips for Cheap New York to Jamaica Flights

1Montego Bay (MBJ) has more flight options than Kingston. JetBlue, Delta, and American run multiple daily nonstops from JFK. Book 6-8 weeks early for $300-400 fares instead of last-minute $550-600 prices.
2Red-eye flights save a vacation day but arrive early morning. You can't check into resorts until 3pm, so book an all-inclusive where you can use facilities immediately. Day-use passes cost $50-75 at resort beaches near the airport.
3Bring a sweater for the heavily air-conditioned 4-hour flight. Caribbean flights often run cold. Download entertainment since many budget carriers lack seatback screens. Jamaica customs forms are available online to save time upon arrival.
4Southwest includes two free checked bags, making it ideal for families. Compare total costs including baggage fees. A $380 Southwest fare beats a $320 Spirit fare once you add $65-130 in bag charges for four bags.
5Fly into Montego Bay even if staying in Negril or Ocho Rios. Direct flights to MBJ are $100-150 cheaper than connections through Kingston. Ground transfers cost $30-80 but you still save money and 2-3 hours of travel time.

💡Savings tip: Book 6-8 weeks ahead for the best New York to Jamaica fares. Flexibility with dates can save you 20-30%.
