Recent Traveller Feedback
Flew Royal Jordanian from Amman to Chicago on a Value Plus fare and was glad I checked the allowance first. On North American routes Value Plus includes two checked bags of 23 kg each, which is more than the standard one bag on European flights. The 158 cm linear limit is standard and my two suitcases both fit easily.
Travelled Crown Class business to London and really appreciated having two carry-on bags of 7 kg each. I used one for my laptop and documents and the other for clothes and toiletries. Plus there was a separate 5 kg personal item that went under the seat, so I had plenty of space for everything I needed onboard.
I was worried my backpack would push me over the 7 kg cabin limit on my economy ticket to Dubai, but Royal Jordanian allows a separate personal item of up to 5 kg that goes under the seat. I moved my laptop and charger into the personal bag and kept my roller at exactly 7 kg, and nobody weighed either one at Queen Alia airport.
