Royal Jordanian – $599: New York / Chicago / Detroit – Amman, Jordan. Roundtrip, including all Taxes

[disclose]

A good sale for nonstop service to Amman, Jordan.

A few of us on the team flew Royal Jordanian in January 2018 and February 2018 from New York to Amman to go checkout Petra and the Dead Sea, our experience was okay:

  • Do online check-in 24 hours ahead of departure to secure the best seat (if you have any Oneworld elite status, you can select it at time of booking for free. We have status and assigned our seats at booking, but we noticed that even 3 days out, a majority of seats were un-assigned and available at online checkin)
  • Bring your own food
  • Don’t expect much service
  • Inflight entertainment system is on-demand, but there wasn’t a whole lot of content
  • No inflight wifi
  • Checkin lines are long – if you don’t have status, show up early.
  • The planes are Boeing 787 Dreamliners in 3 x 3 x 3 configuration.

Here are some practical travel tips to Jordan from our trip earlier this year.  Jordan was definitely worth the trip – wish we had more time to explore.
