🇯🇲 Kingston · MKJP
Jamaica's capital gateway with Caribbean Airlines, American, and JetBlue serving tourist and diaspora traffic. Pilots navigate the mountainous approach through the Blue Mountains, requiring careful altitude management. Trade winds create consistent but manageable crosswinds, and the Caribbean hospitality makes for pleasant layovers.
