It was weird that we had to check after security and go to a corral which had no bathroom or other services about an hour before boarding. Had to check out of the corral to leave and check back in.

Destination overview
Kingston is the cultural epicentre of the Caribbean and the birthplace of Reggae music. And its most iconic figure, Bob Marley, lived in the city for most of his adult life. Fans of the beloved singer will undoubtedly make the Bob Marley Museum their first stop after arriving in Kingston. Although the museum is one of its main draws there’s much more to see in the capital, and especially, in the outskirts.
A short ferry ride from Kingston is the small fishing village of Port Royal in the south, once an important trading centre and a playground for pirates. To the west is historic Spanish Town, the capital of Jamaica until 1872. Spanish and British influences can be seen throughout the city from the Georgian houses in the old Town Square to the Spanish church turned English cathedral – San Jago de la Vega.
The Blue Mountains just north of the city is where the famous coffee is cultivated. The area provides a good escape from the city, and travellers booking flights to Kingston can add a few days to their itinerary to explore the trails, rivers and waterfalls of the stunning mountain chain. John Crow Mountains National Park is a perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of island life. With lush vegetation, the amazing park is often bathed in tropical mist.
Jamaican cuisine is a calorific but delicious affair featuring fried chicken, jerk chicken, jerk pork, oxtail stew, saltfish, and ackee, the national fruit of Jamaica. Work it all off at night in the city’s raucous and hedonistic clubs. You’ve never known a party scene like it. Dancehall Queens wear extravagant and extremely revealing outfits, performing sensual dances with their male counterparts.
Kingston climate
An annual average temperature of 27 degrees Celsius makes Jamaica a year-round holiday island. Winters are warm with cool trade winds, cool evenings, and the least amount of rain. Summer is considerably hotter and September and October can be very humid. September is the peak month for hurricanes, although they rarely hit Jamaica. Kingston has moderate rain throughout the year with a bit more in summer than in winter.
Getting around Kingston
As long as you don’t walk around at night, it’s great to explore the city centre by foot. Taxis are great for short distances, but it’s better to hire a car and driver for the day. Make sure you take only Public Passenger Vehicle (PPV) taxis, which can be identified by their red PPV plates. Either hail or call ahead for a cab. Drivers are required to have their fares posted. Make sure you agree on a fare before you get in the cab, and be aware that fares will be more expensive between midnight and 5am. Your hotel can help you arrange a moped and motorcycle rental if you prefer to get around on your own or you can also rent a car to get around, but the cost can be high. You’ll usually get the best rate when booking your flight. It might be less expensive to hire a car and driver, instead of renting your own car, and you’ll be able to avoid dealing with local drivers.
Getting downtown from the airport
The main airport for travellers taking flights to Kingston is Norman Manley International Airport (KIN). An airport bus service and local bus service connect to the centre of Kingston with a journey time of between 30 minutes to an hour. Taxis are also available.
Kingston airport overview
Norman Manley International Airport, formally Palisadoes Airport, serves Kingston and acts as a major gateway to Jamaica. The airport serves as a hub for Air Jamaica and Caribbean Airlines. There are more than 130 flights into Norman Manley International Airport each week and just fewer than two million passengers per year.
This is one of those airports that feels like it is forever under construction. The new departures area is spacious and attractive, with a good selection of stores and eateries after security. The arrivals area is still being upgraded. Be prepared for long queues at the immigration counters, where officials have a reputation for being fairly strict.
