Except for two MD-80 aircraft, Air Jamaica uses only Airbus jets produced in Europe. An Airbus 320, which seats 12 in first class and 138 in economy class, will be used on the Houston-Montego Bay route. Several cruise lines cited passenger complaints for reducing port calls, and only Jamaica's many all-inclusive resorts remained in favor. That situation has eased. In conjunction with the summer start-up of Houston service, Air Jamaica Vacations is offering packages that include air fare, lodging and tours.
Packages also are available for several other islands.
The Jamaica Tourist Board can provide information about lodging, dining, sightseeing and special events. A travel agent is a good resource for information and reservations about Air Jamaica, Continental or Cayman Airways. There's something for all at West Oaks Mall.
