Answer 15

Actually,the answer is no,you can't buy a one-way ticket to Jamaica! The Jamaican government does not allow it! I know because I tried,and the customer agent at Air Jamaica told me it is not allowed! You can try,but I was told it was against policy in their country! Anyway,it is more expensive! Just buy a round-trip ticket,and you can always change it(the fee will be $100,but will still come out cheaper than the other way around)! Good luck on your wedding!

Answer 16

The answers that you CAN get a one way ticket MIGHT be correct ( you should check on that to be sure ), but when you arrive in Jamaica & go though customs/immigration, they will want to see a return ticket. As a non resident, your only allowed to stay 180 days...or 6 months....so you must prove to them that your a returning resident or you have a ticket to leave the country on a specific date.

Answer 17

I DID IT. ITS POSSIBLE (SORT OF):

i bought a one way ticket to jamaica from Ft. lauderdale via Air Jamaica. it cost me about $320. It wasn't just expensive, it was downright abusively priced. With planning i could have bought a round trip ticket for that price or less. But i am a Jamaican Citizen.

The airline will generally NOT want to sell you a one-way that ticket. i had to buy it through a travel agent who explained (to air J) that i would be flying into miami on private plane and back on air jamaica. They also explained that i am a jamaican citizen.

YOUR ANSWER:

its possible, but not cheaper or smarter. To be reserved for times when cheaper isnt the goal (special business etc).

THE CATCH:

Also remember that immigration (on both the USA and Jamaican side) do not like one-way tickets. If you are a 'non-resident' you don't have an absolute right to enter either country even IF you have a return ticket.

As far as i know, to enter Jamaica (or USA) on a one-way ticket as a visitor would require a special circumstance. Immigrations policy is generally against it.

Answer 18

Yes you can.
