Flight & airports
We flew direct to Kingston from London’s Gatwick Airport with Virgin Atlantic, and returned with the same airline from Montego Bay. We didn’t experience any problems with our flights, and for travellers from the UK this seems a good option, especially as they allow you to fly into one end of the island and return from the other at no extra cost.Kingston Airport is small and from our brief time there seemed to have fewer facilities than Montego Bay. If duty free shopping is important to you (and with rum this cheap it probably should be!) I suggest you use the latter for your return flight. Montego Bay also seemed a bit better organised – queues were long but well-managed, whereas immigration at Kingston was disordered and painfully slow.On the other hand, the scenery in the immediate vicinity of Kingston is great, and we had some wonderful views of the Blue Mountains and of the coastline...
