How to travel around Jordan by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Jordan

  • Check Amman–Aqaba domestic flight schedules and baggage
    Royal Jordanian’s October 2026 timetable lists flights between Amman (AMM) and Aqaba (AQJ), with schedules varying by date. The airline uses a piece-based checked-baggage policy, and allowances vary by route and cabin. Check the airport codes, latest timetable and ticketed baggage allowance.

Arriving from another country

  • Distinguish Jordan Pass from a visa
    The official Jordan Pass FAQ states that the pass is not a visa. Check purchase eligibility and any visa-fee waiver conditions for your nationality, documents, purchase timing and stay; a pass or payment is not an entry permit.

Before you fly to Jordan

Complete these checks before departure.

Check the Crown baggage exception on Embraer

Royal Jordanian’s Crown guidance identifies an Embraer exception and size, weight and shape requirements. Later wording is inconsistent on piece counts; confirm the actual aircraft, cabin and ticket with the airline instead of assuming one universal count.
