ARRIVE IN MONTEGO BAY AIRPORT IN 4 EASY STEPS
Welcome to Jamaica! Where everything is Irie (meaning “pleasing)
Arriving at Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay can be a breeze with the right information on hand. We’ll share some insider tips to make your arrival in Jamaica much easier and get you a transfer from Montego Airport to your resort as soon as possible.
Here’s how to maneuver through Montego Bay airport in 4 easy steps.
1. Deal with Immigration Smoothly at Montego Bay Airport During your flight, you will receive Immigrations and Customs forms (C5) that need to be filled out before you land. It’s best to have these forms and passport ready to present to Immigration officials. If you are arriving from a country that has cholera or yellow fever, you will need to go to the Ministry of Health desk for a quick interview before going through to Immigration. These countries include Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, and most South American Countries.
2. Recognize your Luggage Easily at the Baggage Area Your bags will come out on a conveyer belt that is labeled according to the flight on which you arrived. Be sure to take very colorful, easy-to-identify bags or add something that will help you spot your bags quickly, and just wait until they come to you. Complimentary Carts are available to take your bags through customs. Additionally, you can better plan your route by looking at the Montego Airport map prior to your arrival. 3. Have Everything Ready To Go At Customs Once you collect your bags, make your way to the customs hall. Utilize the "nothing to declare" line unless you are carrying some gifts or other items that will remain in Jamaica. You will need to present your passport and customs forms. You may be required to do a secondary screening at the discretion of the officer on duty. As you know, it is illegal to travel with any type of firearm, ammunition, fireworks or mace on board. All explosives, weapons (even toy guns) and military camouflage clothing are illegal in Jamaica.
4. Find Your Resort Representative As you exit the Customs Hall, you will get to the arrivals area, where a Sandals representative will be waiting for you just past the sliding doors. Your representative is easy to identify: just look for the smiling face and the Sandals uniform. Please note that Sandals representatives are not permitted to assist with baggage inside the airport and luggage carts are not allowed outside the arrival hall.
Only registered “Red Cap Porters” can handle your bags as a part of airport regulation. Expect to tip $1 USD per bag.
