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.

Royal Jordanian, the national airline, flies direct between Amman and numerous destinations throughout the Middle East, Europe and the world. The place that you will end up landing at is Queen Alia International Airport.
An Airport Express bus runs between the airport and the upper end of the Abdali bus station. The service runs every half hour between 6 am and 10 pm for 1.5 JD. Three other buses go at midnight, 2 am, and 4 am.

The Best way to come to Jordan is via Royal Jordanian Airline. It is just an okay airline. Not at all as bad as KLM is !!! I hate KLM because their aircrafts are old and very unreliable. But RJ is fine and getting better day by day. The service is fine too. They give you a lot of facilities as beign their passengers. If you have your next flight next day then they will give you a room in 4 star hotel and with all 3 meals !!! and in this way you can see Amman as well. But it is better to get the Visa before going there.

Avoid th airport rush and head to Royal Jordanian's 7th Circle City Terminal, where you can checkin your baggage and receive your boardiing pass up to four hours prior to departure.
Shuttle buses will take you to Queen Alia International Airport, where you will be whisked through a special gate directly to immigration and off to your departure gate. This service is available exclusively for passengers on all RJ flights to all destinations from Amman. Passengers flying to US destinations can check in no more than 24 hours prior to their flight.
For Bus times and further information ring the numbers below.

The airport is pretty small and a 45 minute drive from Amman.
Huge duty free store on exit, but little else.
You can get here by taxi 20JD, or bus from North Terminal 3JD.
If flying with Royal Jordanian, you can go from their offices and check your bags instead of having to do it at the airport.

I flew to Amman (via Abu Dhabi) from Johannesburg with Ethiad Airways. It was my first time to fly with this airline, and had a good experience.
The staff is very professional and service is friendly. The in-flight entertainment and food was more than satisfactory.
I will definitely fly with them again.

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.

I flew with Jordanian airways from Rome to Bangkok and back, a definitly nice,cheap and safe company.On our way back home, as we had a stop over of 5 hours, the company provided us an accomodation in a hotel close to the airport, so after getting a transit visa, we could have a shower and rest a few hours free.

Nothing special about the airport itself. since it is located outside the city, count 20-30 minutes by road to reach the center (depending where you stay).
I don't know how to go from the airport to the city (a friend picked me up) but in the other direction, count between 15 and 25JD (depending how you negotiate) for a yellow taxi.
You will most probably need a visa to enter Jordan but you can buy it directly (and very easily) from the airport for 10JD.
They only accept cash (and Jordan Dinar) but you can change some JD directly at the airport ...
When leaving, there is a "departure tax" as well, I think it was 7 JD
