Royal Jordanian

[pattaya_mad 208]

Ive found a decent looking indirect flight for January with royal jordanian, 483 quid, anyone flown with them before, whats the airport like at Amman?

Yep mate, I flew with them. Outward you are only in Amman airport for an hour or so and most of that time is spent getting off one plane and transiting to the other.

 

Inward there is a 7 hour stop over but a room is provided at a hotel just outside the airport. Time enough for a shower and a bit of shut eye in a horizontal position before a bit of brecky before the flight home.

 

One plus point is that the arrival and departure times at swampy make Bell bus a viable option both ways.

 

On the minus side I booked with RJ direct and the price on their web page was converted to US dollars on my credit card and I had to pay Mastercards exchange rate.

 

Where did you find that price Dave?

 

PS I still think EVA might drop its prices around sept, if not I am considering RJ again

My experience of Amman was not good. Staff were dead ignorant, I'm sure it was because we were off the London flight. No problem, they'll not get my hard earned ever again.

Some recently arrived friends used RJ, but were rather negative about the whole experience.

This time they used Thai and were similarly disposed.
