Montego Bay is a fairly modest but modern airport, dealing principally with holiday flights from America, Europe and neighbouring islands. Almost 2 million tourists visit Montego Bay annually, many of these using Montego Bay airport as their port of access, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere at the terminal.

The single terminal is served by about ten major international airlines and has regular connections to many of the larger cities in the United States, some cities in Canada and Mexico, many European countries and the other Caribbean islands. There is also one scheduled inter-island scheduled airline and a number of smaller air charter airlines. Montego bay is considered a far more convenient and safer arrival point than Kingston, it has also become a popular connecting route for Americans wishing to visit Cuba.

You will find ATMs and bureau de change in the airport terminal, with post-boxes also provided in a number of locations.

A cafeteria offers the basics and a row of kiosk-style shops provide some duty-free goods, newspapers, though no great variety is available.

Passengers should be aware that security and customs checks will be very thorough on arriving back at a UK destination. Never accept packages from people or leave your luggage unattended.

Facilities for the disabled include specially adapted toilets, ramps and good access throughout the airport. Help is also on hand from airport staff and porters, with individual airlines tending to any particular needs of their passengers.
