I know this has probably been discussed, but I am new. What do you do during the long layover in Jamaica when flying Air Jamaica to Miami?

What fun...The airport is great. You can shop for spices, coffees, hot sauces. Shop for books in the cool bookstore if you are into Caribbean Lit. Eat at Margaritaville. If it's early have saltfish and ackee, a local dish. Otherwise stick to jerk chicken. If your layover is long why not get a day room at a local hotel? Coyaba is not far. Sunspree HI would be tolerable for a day room only.

Great airport with lots of shops downstairs. We rarely have LONG layovers in MB as it seems lately AJ has very tight connections at least for us over the last 7 years We fly first class and definately spend time in their FC lounge; free food and drinks makes it a nice place to chill and even nap.

Thank you for all the information. Airfares are all over the place. One minute it is cheaper from Orlando next minute Miami. Now may have layover on San Juan.

I ended up with a 19 hour stay in Kingston. Any tips, ideas, etc. would be appreciated.

Bob, how did you end up in Kingston and not Montego Bay? cb

By Bob Zador (New BonaireTalk Poster - Post #4) on Friday, April 27, 2007 - 8:36 pm: |
Just luck I guess. Bonaire to Montego Bay (1-1/2 hr layover), Montego bay to Kingston (19-1/2 hr layover) then back to Miami the next day. Total time to fly 1400 miles 25 hrs. You got to love it. The price was right and after diving in Bonaire, who cares even if you get home.

That's the positive way to look at it, Bob! Never been to KIngston, myself, so I can't give you any tips for your layover there. I'm certain someone will jump back into this thread and give you some tips. Have a great trip! cb

Has anyone had an AJ airline ticket without an assigned seat number? Any problems in getting a seat?

Tammy, if you get a ticket without a seat assignment call them up and get your seats assigned! We will be there in a few days(with assigned seats). I have already bought our Oct tickets from Priceline.com and the first thing I did was call AJ and got assigned seats. AJ dosen't overbook, but you have some power with assignments... Ron
