In celebration of this new non-stop service, Air Jamaica is
offering an introductory sale fare on this route of $378
round trip ($189 each way) plus taxes in economy class for
travel between July 22 and December 15, 2007. Tickets at
this special rate must be purchased by June 28, 2007 and can
be booked at www.airjamaica.com, through Air Jamaica's
toll-free reservations at 1-800-523-5585 or through a travel
agent.
"Based on the success of our non-stop flight from New York's
JFK to Barbados and the possibilities it offers travelers
from the Northeast, we believe providing this regular
non-stop service to consumers in the Southeast will be
equally successful," says Paul Pennicook, senior vice
president of sales and marketing for Air Jamaica.
"We are excited to provide this new non-stop service making
it easier for vacationers, business people and Caribbean
Nationals to get to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean from
South Florida."
Pennicook said that Air Jamaica will operate Airbus A-320
service on the new non-stops with 138 seats in Economy and
12 in Executive Business Class.
