Lucea

Stepping off the plane at Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay , the humidity hits you the moment you exit the terminal. You have about an hour of driving ahead of you to reach Lucea, and if you haven’t sorted your logistics before landing, you are going to be at the mercy of whoever is standing at the arrivals gate. I have spent enough time in Jamaican airports to know that having a confirmed ride waiting for you is the difference between starting your trip with a cold drink or standing in the heat trying to negotiate a fare. Getting From the Airport to Lucea City Center # Lucea is roughly 45 minutes to an hour west of Montego Bay, depending on traffic along the coastal road. Most travelers heading to this area are bound for the large resorts, specifically the Grand Palladium complex. Because there is no public transit system that caters to tourists with luggage, you are essentially choosing between a shared shuttle or a private car.
