From the onset you need to know even before you land on the lovely island, you need to ensure that your bags are suitable.
Sometimes your carry on bag will fit in the sizer up front, but not in the sizer in the back next to the plane. This can cause some trouble since it is usually more expensive to check a bag by the plane than upfront. When in doubt. check your bags upfront.
When the travel advisory is that you reach at least two hours before, it should be heeded. I almost missed my plane to Jamaica from the Us because the TSA lines were too long and then there was a mix up in the size of my bags.
I'm just saying that unexpected delays may occur. It is better to be ready and waiting by the plane door and there is a delay than to be stuck in the TSA lines guessing if you're going to catch the plane or not. Save yourself the trouble and get there on time.
Here is a list of things I think a person should know before travelling to Jamaica. If I have missed any thing please feel free to jot it below.
List of things to know
1. Ensure that you know where you are going, i.e. how far (miles and minutes) is it from the airport
2. Know your currency conversion rate. The exchange rate at the airport is not best.
3. You should have an idea of how much things cost, so that you don't feel robbed if you make a purchase.
4. Bring mosquito repellant or acquire one quickly.
5. Stay at a trust worthy hotel, the shady cheap hotels may not be the safest way to go. (Jamaica is troubled by crime after all.)
6. Your passport is currency, be very careful with it. Someone may want to grab it from you.
