UK-Jamaica flights without transiting the USA or Canada - Splashing Niagara Falls and yacht sailing on river

I am a Nigerian citizen currently in the UK on a student visa with a residence permit valid for 3 years. I am planning a trip to Jamaica in a few days and do not have time to get transit visas for the USA or Canada. How do I find cheap tickets that do not include travel via the USA or Canada and that are to transit visa-free destinations?



Best Answer

Short notice (a few days) + high travel season + Not US/Canada = Expensive Ticket

Routing options in Europe are London Gatwick, Brussels, Cologne, Dusselsdorf, Frankfurt, Munich and Milano.

If you can get yourself to Cologne, Eurowings offers a round trip to Montego Bay for 400 Euros, 6/18-6/25.

One reason to avoid US airports is that, unlike many other countries, the United States does not allow sterile transit, which means that for any stop in the US, you have to pass through Customs and Immigration.
