Club MoBay, the lounge at Montego Bay, Jamaica’s Sangster International Airport, just got even better.

This July, a concourse-level annex was added opposite gate 12, offering a welcome sanctuary exclusively for adults.

Dominated by a Red Stripe-branded bar, the space is light and airy, with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer expansive views of the runway beyond.

Comfortable seating is arranged in conversational groups, with a few window-facing chaises perfectly placed for quiet contemplation and plane watching. And snacks (including the island’s much-loved patties and banana chips) are available all day.

Flyers traveling with children in tow may use the facilities on the Club’s three other lounges on the basement level, which include a kids’ playroom, business center, showers, and a small spa.

Access to Club Mobay, which includes fast-track service through outbound Security, costs $30 per person and is complimentary to American Express Platinum and Priority Pass cardholders, as well as first class passengers on select airlines.
