Club Mobay Departure Lounge

Sangster International Airport, Montego Bay, Jamaica

International travelers flying out of Montego Bay can enhance their airport experience with Club Mobay, a collection of VIP lounges designed to make travel smoother and more comfortable. Located inside Sangster International Airport, the lounges offer a calm alternative to crowded terminals, with fast-track services and ample seating. It’s the preferred choice for travelers who want to relax, refresh, and avoid long lines before a flight.

The basics

Like many luxury airport lounges, Club Mobay provides its guests with a VIP airport experience. But unlike other lounges where you need to be flying business class or a Priority Pass member, Club Mobay welcomes passengers flying in economy, too. In fact, it doesn’t matter which seat you have on the plane. Children are even invited, as long as they are accompanied by an adult.

The Club Mobay experience includes access to amenities like high-speed Wi-Fi, a fully equipped business center, free food and drinks, and free phone calls to the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. In addition, a Club Mobay entrance pass lets you fly through security and immigration with skip-the-line access, available for both arrivals and departures.

While walk-ins are allowed, they’re subject to availability and priority is given to those with tickets. Plus, booking in advance allows you to opt for upgrades. They include meet-and-greet arrival service with an airport representative to walk you through customs and immigration as soon as you step off the plane, arrival and departure bundles for club access on both sides of your flight, and private ground transfer to your hotel after arrival.
