Leaving There-- Airport Heads Up

A quick, little known way to cruise through jam-packed immigration lines is to sign up for Club

Mobay. For a small pittance you can gain access to a safe haven where you can relax and prepare for your flight. At Montego Bay's (MBJ) Sangster International Airport crowded departure aisle ways  are a thing of the past.

The fully equipped lounge-- complete with a full service spa, and Wi-Fi-- presents you with a distinctive opportunity to kickback and wind-down before your scheduled departure. However, after your Ocho Rios vacation-- you'll most assuredly already be in low-mode-- so look at Club Mobay as a way to skate through security and customs.
