The length of time it takes to fly from Halifax to Jamaica depends on the final destination. To Montego Bay, it takes 7 hours and 30 minutes and to Kingston it takes 10 hours and 30 minutes.
The basic answer, is that from Heathrow to Montego Bay, the average time is 9hrs 30mins. Kingston is another 20mins further south of Montego bay. Both these times would of course depend on the weather and prevailing winds. MPC
From Charleston or Columbia you will have to fly first to Charlotte or Atlanta and then change for a direct flight to Montego Bay. From Charleston I get up at 4:30 in the morning, go to the airport and fly to Atlanta for a 3 hour layover and then land at Montego Bay around 2 in the afternoon, So I spend nearly eight hours in transit just to get to Montego Bay.
The average time from Philly to Montego Bay, is 3hrs - Kingston another 20mins south. Depending on weather / winds etc.
It would be much better to fly into Montego Bay (Sangster International Airport) if you are going to Ocho Rios. The Kingston Airport (Norman Manley International) is really in Port Royal Jamaica and you will have to drive (or taxi) nearly 20 miles just to get into Kingston. From there you will go thru Spanish Town than catch the A1 which takes you across the island into Ocho Rios. About seventy five miles altogether. The good news is that we have just opened up a toll highway between Kingston and Spanish Town and this will take the worse part of the trip away.

The flight time from Nashville, Tennessee to Jamaica is about 2.5 to 3 hours.
It's about 5 hours from Winnipeg to Montego bay - you can't fly into Negril. At the airport you can take a taxi to Negril for $60 - $80 USD.
It depends where in Jamaica you are going. From the airport in Montego Bay it is about 55 miles or one hour and fifteen minutes to the Resort area of Negril. If you are going to Ocho Rios it's about an hour in the other direction (45 miles). If you are going to Port Antonio it is more conveniant to fly into Kingston airport and then travel for about 2 hours transiting the east side of the island to reach that destination.
