About the New York to Montego Bay route
New York to Montego Bay is the main route to Jamaica's resorts, with nonstops from JFK and Newark on five airlines. Winter is peak, from Christmas to Easter, and hurricane season from August to October is where the lowest fares live. An agent prices every carrier and both New York airports for your dates and includes the bags.
- Resort transfers take time
- Negril is 90 minutes west of Montego Bay airport and Ocho Rios 90 minutes east. Pre-booked shared shuttles are the usual choice.
- Late summer is cheap for a reason
- August to October fares are the lowest of the year because it is hurricane season. If you book then, an agent can note which fares allow changes.
