Flight & airport transfer planner
Complimentary roundtrip airport transfers (including private BMW or boat transfers for eligible Butler categories) are included even when you book room-only and purchase airfare separately with airline miles or flexible cash tickets.
Room-only vs. bundled airfare & transfer duration lookup
Flying American Airlines directly into Ian Fleming International Airport (OCJ) cuts airport transfer time to 25 mins vs. 90 mins from Montego Bay (MBJ).
Dedicated Sandals Arrivals Lounge at both MBJ (Sangster Int'l) and OCJ (Ian Fleming Int'l) with complimentary beer, snacks, and restroom facilities before shuttle departure.
You do not need to bundle flights in the resort checkout to receive complimentary roundtrip Sandals or Beaches airport transfers (or private Butler BMW/boat transfers where included). Booking room-only holds your suite with a low deposit while letting you book airlines directly with miles or refundable fares.
