Montego Bay Sangster International Airport, Jamaica

This country is so Lush and the beaches are beyond beautiful with calm waters that have sometimes 6 different colours of blue. Jamaica is just so pretty. Oh how I know the Montego Bay airport! My mother is from Jamaica and my family resides mainly in St. James (the parish which Montego Bay is in) and West Moreland (the parish which Negril is in). So the airport we use when traveling to Jamaica, is Montego Bay airport or as Jamaicans would call it “ Mobay Airport.”  Montego Bay airport, could be better, I think it is in need of some renovations. The ceilings are very low, it can get a bit warm. The AC needs to be on higher. Many flights arrive at the same time, so I hope you are not in a rush, because you will be waiting a LONG time before you get through immigration. There are two or sometimes four (depending on the number of flights that arrive at the same time) ladies standing at the bottom of the ramp once you arrive in immigration. These ladies will direct you to the proper line. CARICOM passport holders and Jamaican passport holders in one line and everyone else in the other. The everyone else line is the long line so be patient. Once you pass through immigration, get your luggage (the luggage part does not take much time), there is another line up and another wait to get through customs.  Just be patient, you will soon be surrounded my tall, green beautiful mountains, your skin will be kissed by the sun and pristine crystal clear beaches are less than 15 minutes away from the airport.  When leaving from Mobay airport, the check in did not take too long, it was much better than my experience at the Kingston airport. The ceilings in the departure wing are high enough to not feel boxed in. The customer service was ok, I give it a B+, there are workers who are very pleasant and helpful and others who are extremely rude.
