American Airlines resumes non-stop service from LA to Ja this winter

THIS WINTER, American Airlines will resume its non-stop service from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) to Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport (MBJ). Beginning November 10, weekly non-stop service will return on Fridays departing LAX at 10:59 p.m., arriving MBJ at 7:46 a.m. on Saturday. The return flight departs MBJ at 9 a.m. on Saturday, arriving LAX at 12:51 p.m.

From December 15, 2017 to January 7, 2018, the service will increase to three days per week (Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays), and will return to the Friday only schedule from January 8 to April 30, 2018.

American Airlines launched the nonstop service from Los Angeles to Montego Bay in December 2015 in response to an increased demand from travellers on the West Coast. The aircraft will be a Boeing 738 with 160 seats.

“We look forward to again welcoming our West Coast travellers for the winter season in the Home of All Right,” said Donnie Dawson, Jamaica’s acting director of tourism. “The service will also provide connections to Jamaica through Los Angeles from other American Airlines gateway cities globally.”

Montego Bay’s Sangster International Airport was voted the Caribbean’s leading airport for the ninth consecutive year by World Travel Awards this year. A yearround vacation destination where visitors can enjoy white-sand beaches, Jamaica has turquoise waters, thrilling adventures, breathtaking scenery, world-renowned cuisine, music, culture and more. From cosy villas to all-inclusive resorts and worldclass attractions, Jamaica has something for everyone.
