To return to the US you will need another COVID test within 3 days of your return flight. There are several testing sites along the main beach road in Negril where travelers can get a US travel compliant test. Many of the hotels/resorts in the area also offer onsite testing.
We (Steph and Josh) will be opting to use Rapid Antigen testing (15 minute results) at the airport at Montego Bay. We will arrive an hour early to ensure we have enough time to get tested and get results before checking in for our flight. Testing is $50 per person at all the sites we have contacted.
