What's happening with flights into jamaica, and how hard was it affected by GUSTAV?

Question

my daughter and friends are supposed to be flying into jamaica tomorrow to spend the weekend, what can they expect?

Answer 1

It depends on the air-carrier and airport - Kingston on Montego Bay.  Most likely Montego Bay.  The sun will jump in and out of the clouds, but you can still dress with your shorts, flowing skirts.  The nite life should be cool, and definetly beach strolls.  The airports reopened yesterday afternoon and it looks like Hanna will not turn into a hurricane.  It is raining there now, but not too bad.  A little rain in Jamaica is easily tolerated.

Answer 2

Flights ceased at midday Thursday and will resume on Saturday morning.It would be best to check the specific airline, but I think those persons who were affected will be on standby for later flights. I am sure the airline can reschedule them for another weekend at no extra cost. The eastern and southern coasts were the hardest hit but the rain was island-wide, just heaviest in those areas.....lots of flooding and landslides  The main tourist resorts are on the northern side of the island..not as much damage.  

Answer 3

Flights should be back on schedule as of today, according to the Air J PR lady. Many places were flooded in the corporate area and Portland/ St Thomas - eastern Jamaica.

If you can be more specific with destinations I could probably tell you what went down there. Be sure to call the airline.
