 | Amman Flights and Airline Tips | Tips 1 - 10 of 10 |  |
For all Royal Jordanian Airlines passengers, they can check-in in RJ's city terminal prior to the schedule. But it locates in 7th Circle, which is 9 to 10 km away from downtown ( Roman Theatre.) It's a bit inconvenient for those who don't have a car. But if you take a taxi from doentown and your destination is the airport, it still cost you less. There are UN-scheduled shuttle buses between city terminal and QAIA. It only cost you JD2 for the bus. For taxi, it is about JD12.
City terminal close at 10pm, and the final bus normally leave at 9:45pm.

| | | | plane: Queen Alia Int. Airport: An unpleasant experience | | | | | |
On my way from Amsterdam to Bangkok and vice-versa, I had a stopover at this airport.
At the airport, it is not very clear where to go. There are some desks to get a visa for Jordan, but I didn't need one (transit flight).
After 20 minutes of asking the right direction (almost noone spoke or understood English) to a very unfriendly staff, a nice staff member helped me out.
He took me to the right gate, true a "staff only" passage. After a couple of hours of waiting (the airport has a nice shopping area and some nice restaurants), I'd to pass the douane. As I past the detectiongate, it beeped. They took me apart and a woman examined me with a body(metal)detector. It kept beeping all the time.I knew, I had nothing illegal on me, but still I felt very unconfortable. It turned out to be the zipper of my pants. I could go.
On my way back I had an unpleasant experience again. As soon as I arrived from Bkk, they asked me, if I was on a transit flight to Amsterdam. I answered positive. They putted me in a line and told us to wait there. A staff member took my boarding pass and gave me a voucher wich said: "transit and flightnumber" (I did not notice immediately, that I did not have my boarding pass anymore). Before I knew it they putted me trough the douane and I was standing in Jordan (I now have a Jordan stamp in my passport).
They wanted to put me in an hotel, but I wanted to stay at the airport. Fortunately there was a very nice stewardess of the company I was flying with (Royal Jordanian Airlines). She took me to the right departure terminal. It's an area without shops, food or drinks. I had to wait there for four hours.
My flightnumber appeared on the sign eventually, I could go trough the douane (ousite Jordan) again. There I had to give the voucher wich said: "transit and flightnumber" At last I got my boarding pass back. I could go to the restaurant and shopping area.
I had an unpleasant experience here, but still if it saves me money, I would fly via Amman again. I know now, how everything works here. Leave a Comment Theme: AirplanePhone: +962 6 4451136

Amman International Airport is served by several airlines including Royal Jordanian, Emirates, Gulf Air, etc.
The airport is located around 40 km outside the city in the middle of the desert, however there is a lot of development going on at the Airport road, ie the road that takes you from the airport to the city. Theme: Airplane
