The Jamaica Tourist Board is delighted to welcome Frontier Airlines as the latest international carrier to touch down in Montego Bay from Tampa International Airport (TPA). The low-cost carrier will begin flying nonstop twice a week between Montego and TPA as of June 24, 2022.

The new service will increase Jamaica’s airlift from the U.S., its largest tourism market, by providing 186 seats per flight. With its arrival, this is the fifth city in the United States from which Frontier will serve Jamaica, making it a highly desirable destination. Other gateway cities include Philadelphia, Miami, Orlando and Atlanta.

“We are very excited to be part of Frontier Airlines’ growth and expansion plans,” said Jamaica’s Director of Tourism, Donovan White. “With this new connection between travelers from Tampa Bay, we will bring more visitors to discover the unique culture, breath-taking landscapes and warm, welcoming people in the island.”

Montego Bay is Jamaica’s tourism capital, serving as a gateway to a wealth of attractions and activities for every kind of visitor. With glimmering white sand beaches and some of Jamaica’s most popular natural wonders, Montego Bay provides easy access to other resort areas, including the famed sunsets and 7-miles of beach in Negril, stunning Ocho Rios and its renowned attractions such as Dunn’s River Falls, the quiet charm of the South Coast, and the beautiful haven of Port Antonio.
