Jordan is open to international tourism
The Government of Jordan lifted all travel restrictions in the country in March 2022 – there are no requirements in place, such as quarantine or health testing.
Apart from visitors from neighboring countries (including Bahrain, Egypt, Israel, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE), most travelers require a visa to enter Jordan. Eligible passport holders will be granted a visa on arrival that allows staying within the country for 30 days.
Transit through Jordanian airports is permitted, provided you have an onward ticket for the flight that departs in less than 48 hours, and you do not leave the international airport area.
Arriving in Jordan
- If you are flying to Jordan from abroad, you will most likely land at one of its biggest international airportsits main international airport — Queen Alia International Airport
AMM
in Amman. If you are transiting to a connecting flight, follow the signs or ask at the Transit Desk to find your way to the gates.
These are also the best (and the cheapest) airports to fly into Jordan. As they are used by many airlines serving the same routes, the competition for passengers is fierce – with decreased airfare as a result. - Once in Jordan, take advantage of frequent intercity flights operated by domestic airlines such as Royal Jordanian, Jordan Aviation, FlyJordan, and Arab Wings. Those in-country carriers typically offer lower fares, operate from smaller airports located closer to city centers (you save on ground transportation), and provide flexible schedules – with a wide range of departure times.
- Public transport in Jordan (buses, trains, boats, ferries) is even cheaper than domestic airlines, and it’s a great way to experience local life. If you’re looking to explore smaller, more remote destinations, public transport may be your only option. 12go.asia has the most comprehensive database about public transport options in Jordan. It is a reliable source of information about routes, schedules, prices, and booking options.

Popular destinations near Jordan can be easily reached with regional low-cost carriers (LCCs) by the likes of Air Arabia, Flyadeal, Flydubai, Flynas, Gulf Air, Pegasus Airlines, RyanAir, and Wizz Air. If you have a layover in Jordan and plan to fly only a short distance to one of its neighboring countries, these budget airlines are an excellent way to save money. However, the “no-frills” carrier may not provide free checked baggage allowance, complimentary food, in-flight entertainment systems, and fast customer support. You may not even get to choose your seats, unless you pay extra.

The cheapest time to fly to Jordan
The low season for tourism in Jordan is typically from mid-November to mid-March (excluding dates around Christmas and New Year). During these months, flights to Jordan tend to be cheaper and the country is less crowded – making it a more affordable and less hectic time to visit. However, the temperatures can be quite low (especially in desert regions), and some attractions may be closed due to inclement weather.
Despite the cooler temperatures, the low season presents a great opportunity to experience the country in a different light. You can still enjoy Jordan’s rich cultural heritage, its natural beauty and delicious cuisine – with the added benefit of having many attractions to yourself.
Get a Jordan Pass
The Jordan Pass is a single-fee sightseeing package introduced by the Jordan Ministry Of Tourism. Reasonably priced (70-80 JOD or 100-114 USD), it allows the visitor to see all the major tourist sites in Jordan (including Petra – the breathtaking UNESCO World Heritage Site) without paying entrance fees. Moreover, buying the package waives your visa-on-arrival fees.
To apply, visit the Jordan Pass website. You will receive the Jordan Pass via email in PDF format and it will be valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
Flights to Jordan from United States and Canada
- There are no direct flights from the US or Canada to Jordan. However, most major hubs in Asia have non-stop flights to Jordan, as do some larger airports in the Middle East – your journey will have at least one stop. There is a limited number of direct flights from the US to Jordan. Non-stop routes connect New York, Chicago and Detroit to the main Jordanian airport in Amman with only two airlines - Royal Jordanian and American Airlines - serving these routes. Expect flight times of around 10-11 hours with fares starting at $500 one-way.
Montreal to Amman is the only direct flight if you are departing from Canada. - Jordan is well-served via one-stop flights from North America. Flights to Jordan with one layover depart from most major North American airports, including Atlanta

Long waiting times when calling the helpline?
Social media is usually a faster way to reach the airline when a problem arises. Use Twitter or Facebook Messenger to contact the airline customer service and get a response and solution within minutes (see detailed guides for Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad, and others).
When it comes to Twitter, there’s one more trick to get in touch with the airline faster: mention the airline in a tweet about your issue (add “@airline_handle”, for example: “@RoyalJordanian” for Royal Jordanian, the national carrier of Jordan). The customer care team will often notice it immediately, ask you for a direct message, and respond privately.
Know your time zone
When checking flights and airport transfer times, ensure you know the local time zones. The departure/arrival times on your plane ticket and boarding pass are based on the time zone of the departure/arrival airport – this also applies to the connecting (layover) airports.
Jordan has only one time zone – it observes Arabia Standard Time (AST) all year, which is GMT/UTC+3 time zone. There are no daylight saving time clock changes.
Jordan is 8 hours ahead of New York, and 8 hours behind Sydney. Arabia Standard Time is also used by Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
Flights to Jordan with stopover
Direct flights to Jordan are, of course, much less hassle than flights that require one or more connections. However, they tend to be more expensive. In a trade-off between convenience and cost, the best option is often to opt for a flight with one layover.
So if you’re looking at a long-haul trip with at least one connection, rather than simply transiting an airport, why not take this opportunity to plan a longer stopover? A stopover is a prolonged layover — more than 24 hours — and it won’t only break up your long journey but will also become a legitimate part of your vacation. If you’re prone to severe jet lag, a one or two-day stopover would help minimize its adverse effects.
When booking flights, many airlines allow you to include a free stopover en route to your final destination in Jordan. Those flights are usually cheaper than non-stop (direct) flights, and you can often choose your stopover at no additional cost — just by looking for multi-city flights with longer layovers.
Some airlines openly advertise stopovers and offer significant discounts and travel perks for passengers to break up their trips: free luxury hotel stays, complimentary domestic flights, or exclusive rates for activities. Start checking for stopover deals to Jordan with government-owned airlines (as they are looking to attract tourists to give the country economic benefits) — such as Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines, and Malaysia Airlines. Almost every airline’s website has multi-city search functionality, often hidden inside the one-way/return/multi-city switch.
A well-chosen stopover will not only turn one vacation into many but also save you several hundred dollars in airfare. The available stopovers to Jordan will depend on your initial destination (Europe, North America, Asia, etc) and the airline you are flying with. For most airlines, the best free stopover offer will be at their main hub.
Flights to Jordan from UK, Germany, France, Netherlands and other countries in Europe
- There are no direct flights from Europe to Jordan — you’ll need to get a connecting flight from elsewhere in the Middle East or in Asia. British Airways, Edelweiss Air, Lufthansa, Royal Jordanian, RyanAir, SWISS, TransAvia France, and Wizz Air are among airlines that operate direct flights from Europe to Jordan. If the on-board comforts are not your priority, you can fly non-stop to Jordan's capital Amman for less than €100 with ultra-low-cost carriers RyanAir and Wizz Air.
- Airlines that frequently fly from the UK, Germany, France, and other European countries to Jordan include Air France, British Airways, Emirates, Etihad Airways, KLM, Lufthansa, Oman Air, Qatar Airways, SWISS, and Turkish Airlines.
- Consider departure airports in neighboring countries to increase your chance of spotting the best deal. Especially look for large airports that serve as hubs for multiple airlines. For example, if you live in Western Europe, check air tickets to Jordan from Amsterdam, Frankfurt, London, Madrid, Paris, and Rome. Use European low-cost airlines such as RyanAir, EasyJet, and Eurowings to fly to the hub, then save hundreds of euros by taking a cheaper long-haul flight to your final destination.

How to book SuperDeals?
At the Air Traveler Club, our go-to solution for finding cheap airfares to Jordan is Google Flights. Every time we send SuperDeals to our 110,000 members (see some examples), we include links to Google Flights so that each deal can be booked immediately.
Google Flights then showcases various options for booking the deal: you can almost always book directly with the airline (by cutting out the middleman) or – alternatively – with an OTA that offers the same flight at a similar price. Once you have chosen your booking option, you will be redirected to the external website where you can finalize your ticket purchase.
One of Google Flights’ standout features is a color-coded bar that appears underneath the booking options. It provides a visual representation of the price in comparison to the typical fare (for the same route, class, and airline) – indicating whether it is lower, average, or higher.

If the marker falls within the green zone (“price is low”) don’t hesitate to secure this deal as it is significantly – 40% to 80% – cheaper than average and unlikely to drop further.
For more details on how to book deals on Google Flights, check out this video:

Check different departure airports
Consider neighboring cities when choosing the departure airport – especially look for larger cities with airports that serve as hubs for multiple airlines.
For example, if you live in West Europe, check prices for flights departing from Paris, London, Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Rome, or Vienna. In 9 out of 10 cases, the cheapest flight to Jordan will depart from one of these hubs, and it may be €500 less or more than your first choice. Yes, you may have to fly a few hundred kilometers to this hub, but low-cost airlines like EasyJet, RyanAir, or WizzAir will happily take you there for €50 – €100.
Use a similar tactic if you depart from the US or another region. It’s one of the best ways to save hundreds on trips.

Last-minute flights to Jordan. The real cost of convenience.
Last-minute flights are often touted as a great way to save money, but the reality is far from it. Booking last-minute flights to Jordan almost always never works out.
Based on years of research, the airlines know what people are willing to pay for specific flights and dates. To make the most money, they will sell their cheapest fares first and then increase the prices right before the flight to take advantage of these travelers who are willing to pay the premium price for late booking.
Occasionally, airlines can offer last-minute deals to fill the remaining seats, but these are for unusual times and unpopular places. Popular destinations and dates tend to sell out quickly.
Planning ahead and booking early is your best chance to secure a great deal on your flight to Jordan.
Airlines of Jordan
Jordan has only one main airline, the national flag carrier Royal Jordanian. With the base of operations in Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, it’s flying to over 100 international destinations across Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America, using a fleet of more than 20 aircraft (including Airbus A320 and Boeing 787).
Flights to Jordan from Australia and New Zealand
- Australia and New Zealand are well-connected with popular Asian destinations, including Jordan. In addition to domestic airlines – Qantas, Jetstar Airways, Virgin Australia, and Air New Zealand – routes from Australia/New Zealand to Asia are operated by large regional carriers such as ANA, Emirates, Etihad, Fiji Airways, Japan Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Singapore Airlines.

Curated deals
from flight experts
Fly half-price (or less!) from Australia and New Zealand to Jordan:
Fly early in the morning
Early morning flights (6 am or earlier) are usually cheaper than other day schedules. Airlines often offer discounts on their first flight of the morning (up to 15-20%) simply because of lower demand – most people are not willing to go to the airport so early.
Moreover, there tend to be fewer delays if you fly early in the morning. Due to increasing air traffic, delays get worse throughout the day – starting around 8-10 am and reaching a peak at 4-6 pm. If you are flying to Jordan with a connecting flight, arriving on time at your layover airport may be critical to catching your next flight!
By heading to the airport before rush hour, you can at least halve the time spent in city traffic. Airports are less crowded in the early morning, and with fewer travelers at the airport, there will be no long lines at the check-in and security.
Best way to upgrade to Business Class for cheap
A growing number of airlines are auctioning upgrades to their business class seats. Once you book your economy ticket to Jordan, you can offer to pay a bit more in an attempt to get a premium seat. 2-3 days before your flight, an airline will send you an email with a link to their website where you can place a “blind” bid. Alternatively, you can go to the website directly and check if your seat qualifies for an upgrade by providing the Booking Reference number.
There’s usually a minimum bid amount. If you win the auction, you’ll be informed via email, and your seat will be upgraded.

How to choose the right bid amount? Just check the airline website for the regular cost of a business class seat to Jordan, then subtract what you paid for the economy fare. Place your bid for around 10% to 30% of that price. The alternative strategy is to bid slightly above the competition. If, for example, the minimum bid is $500, try to bid $550-$600, as most people will offer the baseline amount required.
The more available business class seats the airline has on your flight, the lower bid can be successfully used. Check the airline’s daily schedule for flights to Jordan – if there is more than one flight on your chosen route (more available seats), you can safely bid close to the minimum required amount.
Among the airlines that allow bidding for seat upgrades are: Air Canada (AC Bid), Air New Zealand (OneUp), Cathay Pacific (Upgrade Bid), Etihad Airways (Bid To Upgrade), Fiji Airways (Bula Bid), Garuda Indonesia (BidUpgrade), Hawaiian Airlines (Bid Up), LATAM (Cabin Upgrade), Lufthansa (Bid Upgrade), Royal Jordanian (Go Crown), Qantas (Bid Now), SAS (SAS Upgrade), Singapore Airlines (mySQupgrade), SriLankan Airlines, and Virgin Australia (UpgradeMe).
“Book Flights Now, Pay Later” — is it worth it?
Booking a flight and paying for it later has recently become a popular trend in the travel industry, with many airlines offering delayed payment plans. They will allow you to make flight reservation to Jordan now and then pay the bill in installments. But should you take advantage?
Book Now Pay Later (BNPL) plans are essentially short-term personal loans. By partnering with financial companies such as Affirm, Afterpay, PayPal Credit, Fly Now Pay Later, and Uplift, airlines can offer their loan services on the checkout page. When you book the flight with the BNPL option, the company pays the airline, and you repay the loan in installments over a set period (usually up to 24 months), with a set interest rate.
BNPL providers have varying terms and fees. Some may offer interest-free loans but have fees for late payments and require forced autoplay on your bank account, while others may have high annual percentage rates (up to 30-40% APR). There may also be transaction fees, down payment requirements, and many companies even run a credit check on the traveler.

Among the airlines that offer a “fly now, pay later” option are American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Qantas, Turkish Airlines, United Airlines, Alaska Airlines, British Airways, KLM, Lufthansa, Southwest, and Virgin Atlantic.
Is BNPL financing worth it? If paid off on time, interest-free delayed payment on your flight ticket to Jordan can be a great way to free up your cash flow. However, there may be safer alternatives available – such as taking advantage of an introductory 0% interest offer on a credit card or using flight price “freezing” services like Hopper.
Hidden-city ticketing hack
Hidden-city ticketing is a less-known money-saving tactic where you buy a plane ticket with a layover, with the intention to get off at the layover rather than the final destination. For example, a flight from New York to Tokyo might be $600, but a similar flight from New York to Singapore with a layover in Tokyo might be only $350. Choosing the latter and ending the trip in Tokyo would save you $250.
It seems counterintuitive that a fare from A to C via B could possibly be cheaper than a simple fare on a shorter route from A to B. However, airlines use dynamic, computer-driven price models calculated with little human intervention, and such deals happen quite often.
How to find hidden-city tickets? The easiest way is to use the Skiplagged website, which was designed for unearthing hidden-city deals — give them a try for your flight to Jordan.
Flights to Jordan from Bali, Bangkok, Delhi, Dubai, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, and other major hubs in Asia
- Asia is probably the best continent for short-haul and mid-haul flying. The sheer scale of this most populous region on Earth is reflected in the type of aircraft operating many shorter routes: intra-Asia flyers benefit from comfortable, wide-bodied aircraft by the likes of Boeing 777, 787 or Airbus A350, A330, and A380. When booking your flight to Jordan look for these bigger planes as they will almost always give you the best experience in every cabin, including better seat pitches, higher ceilings, and larger overhead bin space.
- Asia is also home to most of the world’s best airlines. There are only ten airlines that received the prestigious 5-star mark of quality from Skytrax, and all of them are from Asia: ANA, Asiana Airlines, Cathay Pacific, EVA Air, Garuda Indonesia, Japan Airlines, Korean Air, Qatar Airways, Singapore Airlines. Choosing one of these airlines for your trip to Jordan will guarantee a pleasant journey – delicious meals served during the flight, great in-flight entertainment, and above-average airline customer service.
- Asia is extremely well served by low-cost regional airlines. If you are visiting Jordan and want to see several other countries on a tight budget, they often have great sales with rock-bottom prices, while still offering a relatively comfortable flight experience. Among the best Asian budget airlines you can book without hesitation are AirAsia, Cebu Pacific, Citilink, FlyDubai, Indigo, Jetstar Airways, Scoot, SpiceJet, and VietJet Air. The cons? Being no-frills airlines they may not provide free baggage allowance, inflight meals, or onboard entertainment. The departure times may also be quite inconvenient as they try to save money by flying at off-peak hours.
Flights from major Asian airports to Jordan
Asia is home to some of the busiest and most connected airports in the world. All major Asian airports have convenient and frequent flights to Jordan — including Changi (Singapore), Dubai (UAE), Hong Kong (China), Incheon (Seoul, South Korea), Indira Gandhi (New Delhi, India), KLIA (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia), Narita (Tokyo, Japan), Denpasar (Bali, Indonesia), Soekarno–Hatta (Jakarta, Indonesia), Ninoy Aquino (Manila, Philippines), Suvarnabhumi (Bangkok, Thailand), Taoyuan (Taipei, Taiwan), and others.

Take advantage of loyalty programs
Choose an airline that suits you the best, then stick to it. By becoming a ‘regular’, you will be able to use its loyalty program and earn “miles” (or points) – not only for flying but also for everyday expenses (if your card is affiliated with an airline).
Points earned this way often add up over time and are extremely helpful in flying at reduced fares. Airlines offer not only ticket discounts for their frequent flyers, but also special travel perks such as cabin class upgrades, increased checked baggage allowance, or access to their airport lounges so you can relax during long layovers.
If you often fly with Emirates, opt for Skywards, with Qantas – for Qantas Frequent Flyer, with Singapore Airlines – for KrisFlyer, etc.
Proof of onward travel – a simple hack
Travelers who go on long trips often don’t have a set itinerary and fly on one-way tickets. The problem? For many APAC countries, proof of onward travel is a legal requirement. If you arrive at the airport without an onward ticket (from Jordan to another country), you’ll either be forced to buy one online or forbidden from boarding the plane altogether.
The cheapest solution? Renting an onward ticket! Use the websites such as OneWayFly or OnwardTicket to get a flight reservation for a limited amount of time (usually 2 to 14 days). They work by actually booking you on a real flight out of Jordan and giving you a confirmable flight reservation with a PNR (Passenger Name Record) under your name. After the time limit, your spot on the flight is automatically canceled. Such “temporary tickets” tend to cost anywhere from $10 to $20.

“Hot seats” on long-haul flights
Those days seat selection is considered an optional, extra paid service – seats with extra legroom (front and exit rows) are usually priced higher. However, if you’re about to take a long-haul flight to Jordan, those “hot seats” are worth considering – expect to pay $50-$100, which is much less than upgrading to Premium Economy.
If you want to choose your seats, do this early (ideally during the booking) for a more extensive selection of available options.

Lost luggage prevention: Essential tips
Every year, airlines handle millions of bags and a small percentage never make it to their final destinations. Avoid lost luggage nightmares on your trip to Jordan by removing old tags from previous flights on your suitcases – they can confuse baggage handlers and conveyor belt scanners. It’s also a good idea to label your luggage with your name, address, and phone number (both inside and outside the case) and attach a GPS-tracker device like Apple AirTag or Samsung SmartTag.
For peace of mind, consider purchasing travel insurance to cover the full value of your luggage, as airline liability usually doesn’t reflect the actual value of the baggage content.
FAQ: Flying to Jordan
Q: What is the cheapest time of year to fly to Jordan?
A: The best time to find cheap flights to Jordan tends to be during the low season – June to August. It’s the country’s hot season and also an off-peak tourism season with high temperatures and significantly fewer visitors. Everything – including airline tickets – is cheaper.
Q: Can you fly direct to Jordan?
A: Direct flights to Jordan are only available if you depart from nearby countries in the Middle East and Asia. There are only a handful of airlines that offer non-stop flights to Jordan from Europe. If you fly from North America or Australasia your trip will have at least one layover.
Q: Which big airlines are flying to Jordan?
A: Among the legacy, full-service airlines that operate flights to Jordan are: American Airlines, British Airways, China Southern Airlines, Emirates, Etihad Airways, KLM, Korean Air, Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways, and Turkish Airlines.
Q: Why are flights to Jordan so expensive?
A: The flight prices to Jordan depend primarily on which part of the world you are flying from. For example, the cheapest tickets to Amman from North America are around $400-$600 one-way - not that expensive for more than 9,000 km / 6,000 miles route.
Time of travel and time of booking are also significant factors. High demand + low supply = higher fares. If you travel during the peak season (high demand) and book a last-minute flight (low supply - not many tickets left), your flight to Jordan will be costly (expect to pay 2 or 3 times more than the average price!).
The number of carriers that fly to Jordan from your region also plays a role. Neighboring countries in the Middle East tend to have plenty of flights, not only with large, full-service airlines but also with regional low-cost carriers. Competition is fierce, so prices are low.
Finally, there are oil prices and the fact that airfares are pegged to the US dollar. These factors are passed on to travelers, making your flight ticket even more expensive.
Q: Can I fly directly from Australia to Jordan?
A: No, currently no airline offers direct (non-stop) flights from Australia to Jordan. Your flight will have at least one stopover.
Q: Can I fly directly from London to Jordan?
A: Yes, Royal Jordanian operates non-stop flights from London to Amman.
Q: What is the best airline to fly from the US to Jordan?
A: American Airlines, Emirates, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, and Turkish Airlines tend to be the best (most recommended by frequent flyers) among the airlines that operate routes between the US and Jordan.
Q: When is the best time to book flights to Jordan?
A: Plane tickets usually don’t get cheaper closer to the departure date. Even these reasonably priced flights in the low season sell out quite far ahead of the date of travel. It pays to book your ticket well in advance, as it will give you a good range of flight times and seat selection choices.
The best time to book flights to Jordan can vary among airlines, but the golden time usually falls between 2 months and 6 months before the departure. So, January is the best time to book flights if you want to visit Jordan during the summer.
User Review
3.9 (107 votes)Flights to Jordan
Whether on a vacation of a lifetime or a business trip, flying to Jordan is not as easy as booking local travel.
Most likely you are looking at a long-haul trip — and every layover will add a few more hours if you choose not to take a direct flight. Choose your airline wisely, by reading the online reviews left by passengers who have already taken a similar route. Always look for their in-flight experience: seats (are they comfy and spacious?), menu (was it delicious with plenty of choices for different tastes and diets?), and the entertainment options available onboard (the quality of screens and headphones, the range of movie/music/tv channels on offer, etc).
If you have specific travel dates, it's worth booking as soon as possible. Leave it too late and you might have to pay almost double the price, especially if you want to fly during school holidays and popular times like New Year's Eve.
