Air Jamaica

Pros: Comfortable, friendly flights.
Cons: Lousy in-flight movies, if you care about that.

This review of Air Jamaica is based on a roundtrip flight from Baltimore Washington International Airport (BWI) to Montego Bay, Jamaica, leaving April 19 and returning April 24. The airplane was an Airbus A321 with six seats in a row in coach class (two ...

Pros: Good crew, food and free champagne in economy
Cons: No seat back TVs

I flew with Air Jamaica(JM) to Montego bay airport (Sangster) last year and I wasn't very impressed with the aircraft itself or the way they took on so much luggage! To start off with, the check in staff seemed to allow all the passengers to check in ...

Pros: They'll get you there with your luggage.
Cons: You will be late.

Air Jamaica is bankrupt again. It's always been that way as the company is generally poorly managed, but oh well, if you're going to Jamaica or beyond, they're not a bad choice. Air J (as they call it) is generally reasonably priced and they're ...

Pros: Low price, excellent food, free booze! :)
Cons: Very cramped and some planes are old.

I have only been on four flights for Air Jamaica, but overall, my experience was a very good one.

All four of my flights took off on time, and they usually board you a bit earlier than most other airlines seem to. This gets everyone in...

Pros: Good leg room, good meals, good bar
Cons: delays. You will almost certainly be delayed.

I used Air Jamaica to travel to Couples Negril in August 2003. I had previously used Air Tours and will sum up the major differences and problems encountered with Air Jamaica. first of all I can almost guarantee that your flights will be delayed. I h ...

Pros: Great service, FOOD not pretzels, free headsets.
Cons: Montego Bay airport, not always on schedule.

I read with interest the reviews for Air Jamaica. I could not believe some of the comments. One even said that they were shocked the pilot had a Jamaican accent! Why? Are Americans the only ones who know how to fly a plane? Ridiculous.
I have flown...

Pros: Direct flights from Boston
Cons: Blatant rudeness, extremely disorganized, delays, overbooking

We started planning our second long-awaited trip to the south coast of Jamaica six months in advance. I had bought four Delta tickets through Yahoo! travel. The tickets specifically stated that the flights would be operated by their partner, Air Jamaica....

Pros: Non Stop From Boston, Great Food, Free Beer Wine and Champagne.
Cons: Delays, Airplanes Seem to be Falling Apart, Rude Gate Agents, Flight UN-Attendants.

Jamaica is a Paradise...Air Jamaica is another story.
My wife and I recently flew from Boston to Montego Bay for a 5 night holiday in Ocho Rios.

Check-In At Boston

My wife and I first visited Jamaica on our honeymoon in 1990...stayed at Sandals Royal. We have returned six times since, and the last just turned us off of Jamaica completely....due to Air Jamaica.

After a nice vacation at Boscobel Beach...

Pros: Generally less expensive, lots of places to fly into/outoff
Cons: the 3-2-1 theory. The Mobay hub, not really Air J's fault though

For the most part I live in Jamaica; i.e I'm either there, in The Bahamas or in Jamaica's 15th parish, Florida. Most of my flights on Air Jamaica last under an hour & a half. The good news is that they pretty much cover Florida (like I said its not the...

Pros: Newer equipment (except the MD 83s). Generally hassle-free TO Jamaica
Cons: Rarely on-time when traveling Northbound. Montego Bay is a nightmare

I have flown Air Jamaica many, many times and have had both good and bad experiences. The good: with the exception of the MD 83s used on the Chicago to Montego Bay run, their aircraft are relatively new and well maintained. I have flown on their...

Pros: Direct flights, good food, efficient service, quick check-in, on-time departure/arrival.
Cons: Seriously, this was as good a flight as on any US carrier. I have none.

...but to praise them (apologies to Bill S. for the license). That's right, we just got back from a week at Beaches Sandy Bay (a wonderful destination itself, but for a different review) and flew Air Jamaica round-trip from BWI, and the flight was ...

Pros: Absolutely NONE
Cons: Overbooking, Customer DisService, Rude attendants & Agents

Air Jamaica is an example of "Everything" that is wrong with air travel today...

I've flown to the Caribbean at least once a year for the last 11 years. So I've had experience with "normal" problems associated with air...

Pros: SAFETY, free beer, wine, champagne, reggae music on board,
Cons: Abysmal on-time performance and bad communication of delays

There is much to love...and to hate...about Air Jamaica. The airline is majority-owned by Gordon "Butch" Stewart of the Sandals/Beaches hotel chain, and say what you will about Mr. Stewart -- he is one smart businessman. Stewart seems well...
