AIRLINES

All references to "airport" refer to Queen Alia International Airport, unless specifically noted to refer to the "Marka" airport.

Confirmation of all tickets on all flights is required three days in advance, and it is also good to follow up on this daily before departure. Also, re-reconfirmation is advised one day in advance. The Royal Jordanian Airlines (RJ) main office is located in Shmeisani in the Housing Bank Commercial Center. Branch offices are located in the Intercontinental Hotel (Jabal Amman, 3rd Circle), and near 7th Circle. Most other airline agents are located on King Hussein Street, downtown.

To get to the airport from ACOR, you can either take a taxi or the airport bus from Abdali for 500 fils (every half hour). A taxi will cost approximately JD 10 to JD 15.000 - negotiate the fare before you start. For RJ flights you can check in at the city terminal near 7th Circle. You can check your luggage and get a seat up to 24 hours in advance. The bus to the airport is 1 JD. This service is available from about 8 am to 10 pm. This service is changing, so call to check in advance for the hours of operation. This service is only one-way, to the airport.

Airport tax must be paid by all international passengers departing Jordan from Queen Alia International Airport. Non-Jordanian passport holders pay 10 JD per passport. Persons on domestic flights are not subject to departure tax.
