Cheap Flights from Fort Lauderdale, FL (FLL) to Montego Bay (MBJ)

Known for the fort built in the Second Seminole War, Fort Lauderdale possessed many natural resources along the New River which were hard to reach centuries ago. Once the first rock road was constructed, trading routes were established and the city flourished. Transportation is no longer a problem with the four terminal Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL).

Ensign George H. W. Bush trained at the airport in 1943 as the youngest pilot in the Navy. He later became the 41st President of the nation. As one of the busiest airports in America, you can take one of 300 daily flights to anywhere around the world, including flights to Montego Bay in Jamaica.

FLL is situated north of Hollywood and south of central Fort Lauderdale. The airport is directly southwest of Port Everglades, the cruise line terminal popular with tourists. In order to reach the airport for that last minute flight to Jamaica, you can travel by taxi, courtesy shuttle bus or park at the reasonably priced parking lot for long and short term stays.

The Tri-Rail commuter train travels between Broward County, Palm Beach County and Miami-Dade County. Free shuttle buses run between the terminals and the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport Station at Dania Beach. With the use of smartphone apps, Transportation Network Companies (TNCs), Lyft and Uber can be booked to pick up passengers.

Montego Bay, located northwest in Jamaica, touches the Caribbean Sea with picturesque white sand beaches. When Christopher Columbus first anchored in Montego Bay in 1494, he named the land Gulf of Good Weather. After the bay was dredged in the 1960s, Montego Freeport and later on, the cruise-ship terminal, were constructed for easy access.

With so much natural wonder, Montego Bay is the perfect location for sea-worthy activities, such as diving, snorkeling and boating. There are many beautiful birds and natural landscapes to spot on the walking, canopy and horseback riding tours around the vast parklands. To finish off the day, you can enjoy duty-free shopping at the City Centre Building.

When taking a flight from Florida to Jamaica to visit Montego Bay, you can expect to land at Sangster International Airport (SIA). SIA is to the north of Ocean Ridge Estate and at the northwest end of the A1. With two terminals, one for international flights and the other for domestic flights, passengers can enjoy the airport that won The World Travel Awards for multiple years.

Once on the ground, passengers are directed by a Customer Service Representative who will direct you to a hotel lounge or a ground transportation company. Two taxi companies can be called upon to book rides, and several car rental companies are located in the Grounds Transportation and Arrivals Hall.
