In Clarendon, running roughly from Kellits to Crofts Hill there is an area known as Old Woman's Savanna. It appeared so on earliest maps and apparently the old woman was a Spaniard -who refused to leave Jamaica when the English captured the island in 1655, even though her house and property in Spanish Town were seized. She received permission to retire to her hato in the country thus giving the name to the area |

Picture this. You plan to spend a long weekend in Jamaica. You land in Kingston, but are booked into a Negril hotel. You choose to travel by car from the airport to your hotel. The logic: it’s a small island, how long can it take? Try at least four hours. That’s right! Four long hours on winding, unfamiliar roads. It may well be an enjoyable journey that allows you to see and experience much of Jamaica you wouldn’t have otherwise…the fruit lady, selling the most juicy tropical treats you can imagine; the goat ambling unconcernedly across the lane; or the highway passing sparkling valleys and breathtaking seascapes. But along the way, no matter how scenic the drive, signs bearing the Air Jamaica Express slogan will taunt you: “if you’d flown with us you’d be there by now”.
As the third largest island in the Caribbean, Jamaica covers a lot of ground. The average driving time between our six resort areas (Kingston, Montego Bay, Negril, Port Antonio, Ocho Rios and the South Coast) is about two and a half hours. But with landing strips in five of our major resort areas, intra-island flights are the quickest way to get from one beautiful Jamaican spot to the next. For example, the trip between Kingston and Negril only takes 35 minutes by air.
So if on your holiday, time is of the essence, flying is the way to go. It lets you maximize the hours spent lounging on the beach or relaxing at your hotel. It also gives you the option of seeing more of Jamaica. For instance, if you’re staying in Negril, you may take a day trip to Port Antonio and experience the wonders of the Blue Lagoon, Frenchman’s Cove, Reach Falls and much more. This would not be possible by car, because it would take you the whole day just to drive there and back! Port Antonio is at least a five-hour drive from Negril.
Our intra-island flights are not only time efficient, they also offer views of our island that are hard to beat. From a bird’s eye perspective, you may watch Jamaica’s Blue Mountains and olive plains rove toward white-sand borders and endless blue seas. As you swoop into our resort centres, you’ll be captivated by vistas of Negril’s sandy stretch, Portie’s twin harbours, Kingston’s mountains or Mobay’s and Ochi’s coastal cityscapes.
Air Jamaica Express is the largest domestic airline in Jamaica with an impressive fleet of new propeller aircraft. Each day there are several Express flights between Kingston, Montego Bay, Negril, Ocho Rios and Port Antonio. Air Jamaica will get you to your destination in comfort and style with champagne flights and true Jamaican hospitality.
Intl. Air Link, TimAir and other commuter or charter aircraft also offer intra-island flights between our main resort areas. These companies are popular with visiting celebrities as they promise privacy and cater to specific requests.
So when visiting Jamaica, explore all the fun and exciting possibilities of our island with our intra-island flights. |
