Sangster International Airport

This airport was really nice as it was my first time visiting Jamaica. We really enjoyed the VIP mobay lounge. The lounge was comfy, had A/C, great drinks, and delicious food. The service was great and we will definitely return.

My first time departing from this airport and I’m surprised how much more organized and faster flow it is than in Kingston. It’s definitely setup for touristy type travellers with A LOT of shops and food options. What I cared most about (and wasn’t disappointed in the least) was the efficiency of checking in luggage and getting through security. It was great! The personnel I encountered were friendly and polite with their instructions. As for seating, there’s a lot of room throughout even on seemed like a very busy rush of people.

Very clean and safe airport! Lots of shopping options and eateries! Plenty of time to get in and out for your flights. Very organized. When arriving there are tons of kiosk to get approval with your passport. Do not stand in line. Keep moving til you find an empty one! Sandals had an area to bring your luggage and get refreshments! enjoy the perks of your resort or stay! Very impressive staff! Very professional!

Alot of waiting around through customs & immigration could have been a bit smoother and quicker. Once through, finally got our transfer, driver was very polite, helpful and nice but got to the hotel and another driver reversed into his car which delayed us getting into our hotel even though the incident was right outside he had to drop us off at the hotel lobby. All in all, a long day but more than happy to be here and enjoying the sun.

It was a pretty good experience. Can’t give it a 5-star rating because there are other airports that are definitely better, but I can’t complain about anything from this airport. When we arrived the walk to immigration wasn’t far, the lines were fairly long but moved quickly. The immigration officers were nice and professional. I recommend you take a cab from the taxi booth that clearly shows you the price of any ride. When we were leaving Montego Bay, security was quick, officers are waaay nicer that in the States, and everything went smoothly. It isn’t a state of the art airport but A+ to the designers that did the most with what they had. Very nice!

The washrooms here are extremely clean, which is a big plus considering how busy the airport gets. The departure area and process felt much more seamless and fluid compared to arrival. The arrival hall, however, definitely needs improvement—it’s far too cluttered and doesn’t leave the best impression. One thing that really stood out: during security checks, passengers in slippers were required to remove them and walk barefoot. In 2025, most modern airports no longer do this, and it’s neither hygienic nor necessary. If someone is wearing boots or heavy shoes, fine—but slippers should be exempt. Overall, it’s not a terrible experience, but it’s not great either. There are clear areas for improvement that could make this airport much more welcoming and efficient.

My experience going through the airport was pleasant. I like the fact that they give you the option to complete customs form online it made for a very seamless experience. Jameeka is still developing country and people need to remember that I’ve been to a lot of developing countries and the sinks to Airportranks pretty well. It’s a standard airport where you don’t wanna be there for too much time because it can get digested.

The airport was busy, but we got through quite quickly! There are tons of souvenirs to bring back home for the family if you didn't get a chance to shop on your trip. There are also lots of good food accommodations and easy to understand. Make sure to bring a portable fan for the lines, though. It can get a bit hot in there.
