British Airways is Adding More Flights to Kingston, Jamaica’s Emerging Travel Hotspot
The waterfront. The street art. The music. Kingston has been quietly developing into a full-fledged tourism destination, with a new crop of travelers seeking out Jamaica’s capital for its unique blend of modern cool and vibrant culture — along with some exciting new hotels, too.
Now, British Airways has announced plans to deepen its connectivity with the capital. Beginning next summer, BA will be flying a total of four flights per week between London Gatwick and Jamaica’s Norman Manley International Airport.
With the extra flights, British Airways says it’s going to be adding more than 300 seats every week between London and Jamaica.
It’s part of a bigger summer schedule for the carrier next year, and a solid sign for Jamaica’s tourism hopes.
“We’re delighted to expand our long-haul network from London Heathrow and Gatwick next summer, adding more services to some of our most-loved destinations,” said British Airways’ Chief Planning and Strategy Officer, Neil Chernoff.
Here’s more on the capital’s tourism renaissance — and its newest hotel brand.
Flights between London and Kingston are about $1,018 on British Airways right now, according to Google Flights data.
