Montego Bay, Jamaica Is Getting New Flights from Air Canada in December

The beaches. The jerk. The Appleton. The vibes. There’s a bit of everything on Montego Bay, Jamaica, and the destination continues to be very popular with travelers from Canada. 

This winter, Jamaica’s biggest hotspot is getting a new nonstop route on Air Canada, Caribbean Journal has learned. 

The carrier is set to kick off a new route between Halifax, Nova Scotia and Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport, with a Dec. 4 start date. 

The new nonstop route will be running once weekly on Thursdays, the carrier confirmed. 

Jamaica welcomed just under 400,000 visitors from Canada last year, which was a 6.2 percent increase compared to 2023. 

So what about prices? If you book on Dec. 4 (with a Dec. 11 return date), you can find roundtrip airfare of around $749.17, including taxes, fees and other charges. 

That’s if you’re checking one bag. 

It’s cheaper in Air Canada’s “basic” class, but you can’t even bring a carry-on bag with you on that kind of ticket.

Planning a Montego Bay vacation? We’ve made no secret of our love affair with the Eclipse at Half Moon resort,  which has rooms starting at $447. 

If you’re looking for an all-inclusive, the Sandals Montego Bay is the brand’s original Jamaica resort and a very solid option (rooms at $1,254 right now for couples).
