Air Jamaica

Pros: Good deal
Cons: No complaints

The first time I traveled to Jamaica I wanted to fly with a well known airline. I hadn't heard much about Air Jamaica so I asked around. From what I heard, they had a pretty good reputation so I made the reservations. I had an all inclusive package so...

Pros: A modest additional charge for first class upgrade.
Cons: Annoying and minor repairs needed in the cabin.

First, I would like to congratulate Air Jamaica for their award-winning service to the Caribbean! I ALWAYS fly Air Jamaica because they have the only non-stop service from Chicago, with an early morning departure from O'Hare. The return service, MBJ to ...

Pros: Friendly flight crew and good airline food.
Cons: none yet

I recently flew Air Jamaica from Fort Lauderdale to Montego Bay. My wife and I have been visiting the island for the past two years usually with American but thought we would try Air Jamaica.

The flight was great. Left Fort Lauderdale right on...

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: 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: 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: Timely check in, Pre-check in process, Food
Cons: None that I saw

After reading all of the negative reviews about Air Jamaica, I was very skeptical. My wife and I flew Air Jamaica last week for our honeymoon. We left on Tuesday 11/4 from Baltimore Washington Intl and flew into Montego Bay. We arrived at the ticket co ...

Pros: Nonstop service to Jamaica from major US cities, First Class pampering, In-flight Meals
Cons: Airline organization, A310 and older aircraft, ticketing, website and booking, Jamaican airports

My family and I chose to fly Air Jamaica to Jamaica in February of this year. They had the best Firs ...

Pros: Great Service with a Smile
Cons: Not enough of the best entree

I recently rode Air Jamaica on a trip to Jamaica and let me tell you, you will not be disapointed by their service and hospitality. I was afraid when I first boarded the plane because it was playing a tape of reggae music, which I do not like, but...

Pros: daily non-stop flights to Jamaica, friendly, safe
Cons: long lines at ticket counter

Air Jamaica has been my airline of choice for eleven years now for my yearly travels from Atlanta to Montego Bay, Jamaica. I first chose Air Jamaica because they offered daily non-stop flights from ATL-MBJ. I have been using then since. The Jamaican ...

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, 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: 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: 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...

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...
