Royal Jordanian

Royal Jordanian (RJ) is a oneworld member based in Amman (AMM). It flies across the Middle East and Europe plus nonstops to New York and Chicago, and it is the natural award routing for a trip to Petra, the Dead Sea, and the rest of Jordan on oneworld miles.

Which miles can you use to book Royal Jordanian?

Because Royal Jordanian is in oneworld, you can book its award space with partner miles, including:

  • British Airways Avios: distance-based pricing, good for shorter hops
  • American AAdvantage
  • Alaska Mileage Plan
  • Cathay Pacific Asia Miles

How to search for Royal Jordanian award space:

The easiest place to search is the British Airways website. BA displays oneworld partner availability, including Royal Jordanian, and you can search without holding any miles.

Step 1

Log in to your Executive Club account on britishairways.com. If you don’t have an account yet, signing up is free and takes a couple of minutes.

Step 2

Go to Executive Club, then Spending Avios.

Step 3

Under Choose your Reward, click Book a reward flight.

Step 4

Enter your trip details:

  • Departure and arrival airports. For Royal Jordanian, think routes touching Amman (AMM), like JFK-AMM, ORD-AMM, AMM-LHR, or regional Middle East hops
  • Desired departure date
  • Select One way only. It makes mixing partners on the return much easier
  • Preferred cabin class
  • Number of passengers

Then click Get Flights.

Step 5

If you get a prompt about changes to reward flight fare prices, accept the terms and click Continue. If a pop-up asks about adding a stopover, choose No, I want to continue without stopovers.

Step 6

Note down every Royal Jordanian flight showing award space: flight number, date, and cabin. Use the weekly date strip to scan nearby days. The US nonstops carry most of the award demand. European connections via AMM often have more space.

Step 7

Now book with the program your miles live in. If it’s Avios, you can finish the booking right there on ba.com. For other programs (AAdvantage, Mileage Plan, Asia Miles), check their website first, since most can book oneworld partners online now. If the flight doesn’t show, call the program and read the agent the exact flights you found. They should be able to see and book the same space for you.

Tips before you book

  • Royal Jordanian’s 787 business class is a solid lie flat product, and the US routes are often bookable with AAdvantage miles when other Middle East options show nothing.
  • If BA shows nothing, cross-check the same route on aa.com. Partner sites occasionally disagree on the last seat or two.
