Flying to Norman Manley International Airport KIN

Norman Manley International Airport (KIN) is located 19 kilometres from central Kingston and is the country’s second-busiest airport. The airport featured in the first James Bond film and is currently undergoing major reconstructions, which should be completed in 2022. British Airways is the only airline which offers direct flights at present, departing from London Gatwick.

Why visit Kingston Jamaica?

As the Capital of Reggae, Kingston has a rough and ready reputation that is equally fun, fascinating and frenetic. Surrounded by the beautiful Blue Mountains that are famous for their coffee and hiking trails, Kingston is home to one of the largest, natural harbours in the world and gorgeous palm-fringed, urban beaches. The Jamaican capital is also home to the largest botanical gardens in the Caribbean, Hope Gardens, as well as some fine examples of colonial architecture, like Devon House, which is now open to visitors. Bob Marley fans should make a beeline for the Bob Marley Museum at Trench Town.
Don’t miss the National Gallery of Jamaica or Liberty Hall, a multimedia gallery dedicated to the life of local outreach worker Michael Garvey. Full of notable buildings and statues, William Grant Park, known simply as Parade, is the vibrant heart of the city and is the perfect place for people watching. Kingston is famous for its jerk chicken and there’s nowhere better to enjoy this local dish than in a harbour side restaurant.

Don't Forget Before you Fly

Travellers with a British passport do not need a visa to enter Jamaica and can stay up to 90 days without one. The date you need to depart the country will be stamped in your passport. Passports need to be valid for the duration of your stay in Jamaica, but they don’t need to be valid for a longer period of time. The Jamaican dollar is available from currency exchange bureaus and ATMs in the arrivals lounge.
