Travel to Jamaica

Travel to Jamaica has become much easier as many major airlines and airports now offer flights to either Kingston or Montego Bay. However there are certainly times of year when it better to travel to Jamaica than others and this is especially true if you are on a limited budget. From the UK the main airlines which offer flights to the island are British Airways, Virgin and Air Jamaica. Plus a quick search of the internet and you may find other airlines that offer flights to Jamaica as well.

The high tourist season occurs from the middle of December until the end of April and you can expect to pay 20 to 40% more on flights at accommodation at these times. Certainly it is far better to travel to Jamaica between May and November when costs are much more reasonable, yet the weather is still good.

Also you need to be aware that at certain times of the year the island will become extremely busy. In January Montego Bay becomes full of visitors who come to enjoy the Jazz & Blues Festival organized by Air Jamaica. This between the end of July and the beginning of August the Reggae Sumfest takes place. Then finally in October Port Antonio comes alive and full of anglers who are entering the International Marlin Tournament.

But apart from this the island is a place to be enjoyed and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. Plus it is here that there are plenty of all inclusive resorts which one can enjoy and which are situated on the islands many beautiful beaches.
