$1,450 starting cost of a package per traveller

Every single traveller is required to take a COVID-19 test before departure with these packages and the airline is offering that itself at no additional cost.

To board the flight to Montego Bay, you must have proof of a negative test result.

Packages start at $1,450 per traveller and include round-trip flights, a seven-night all-inclusive stay at the Holiday Inn Resort Montego Bay, hotel shuttle, and the airline's complimentary COVID-19 travel insurance.

The hotel is located in one of Jamaica's Resilient Corridors which was created for safe tourism and requires all hotels to follow a set of COVID-19 protocols.

If you travel anywhere outside of the country, you have to complete entry requirements and quarantine for 14 days when you get back.

Also keep in mind that Canada still has restrictions on international travel in place and is advising against travel outside of the country.
