Key policies
Baggage allowance
Historically, domestic passengers were allowed one checked bag (up to 50 lbs) and one small personal item. Connecting international passengers received baggage allowances corresponding to their long-haul Air Jamaica ticket.
Change policy
As Air Jamaica Express ceased operations in 2005, direct bookings and changes are no longer available. Travelers looking for current Caribbean flights should consult active regional carriers for modern change policies.
Check-in
During its operational years, airport check-in was required at least 60 minutes prior to departure for domestic routes. Baggage drop for connecting international flights required earlier check-in times.
