Total price includes taxes and the Jetvala service fee; baggage fees may apply.
Miami to Kingston is a quick hop of about an hour and forty five minutes, flown by American and by Caribbean Airlines, Jamaica's flag carrier partner, several times a day between them. Norman Manley airport sits on the Palisadoes spit with the harbor on one side and the sea on the other, about 30 minutes from New Kingston. Caribbean Airlines usually includes a checked bag in its fares; American's Basic Economy does not, so compare the all-in total. Miami's Haitian and Jamaican communities share the same North Terminal concourses, and this route is often the cheaper way to reach the island than Montego Bay when you are not resort-bound.
