"food onboard is basically sandwich"

(Germany)

Trip Verified | Kuala Lumpur to Amman. Small seats, food onboard is basically sandwich, sandwich, sandwich topped with a bun and piece of bread. On the flight Kuala Lumpur - (Bangkok a 40 min stop without getting out) - Amman, online check in sat me in middle row, that is not changeable. On the counter was one of first after opening, changing seat not possible to any better - baggage drop is available just 3h before flight, so had to wait before immigration, and food courts - unfortunately taking into account majority of passengers traveling to and from Amman, cabin crew couldn't control the mess on board. Spend more and take something more adequate.

"the flight was cancelled"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Kuala Lumpur to Bangkok. Paid for an upgrade to Crown Class. Three hours prior to departure the flight was cancelled. By this time I was already waiting in the Business Class lounge. The lounge staff very kindly arranged for me to be moved onto a Malaysia Airlines flight at the same time. I was placed in economy class and not reimbursed for the paid upgrade. I will pursue the refund with the airline, in due course. I cannot praise Malaysian Airlines more highly. They were put in a very difficult position, at short notice, by Royal Jordanian Airlines and dealt with the situation magnificently. I shall fly with Malaysian Airlines next time. I will not choose to fly with Royal Jordanian Airlines again.

"attendants were not straight forward"

(United States)

Trip Verified | The staff who work for this airline are awefully rude. Our flight was delayed for 10+ hours with no further information given. We were supposed to leave from Chicago to Jordan to our final destination. Our flight got delayed for 12 hours from Chicago to Jordan. We asked multiple times for information about our next flight from Jordan to Cairo. The attendants were not straight forward to inform us that there were no flights the day we would arrive leaving us up in the air. At first, they said when we arrive to Jordan the passes to Cairo would be first come first serve. Then, informed us that we may or may not catch the morning flight. All the information provided was very confused and not straight forward. I do not accept the treatment and tone of voice used to inform the passengers. One of the attendants started making jokes and comments when my mom got furious at her way of speaking. I do not appreciate the way they treat their passengers and you must modify how to plan your flights and run on time. Unbelievable.

"staff lacked customer service"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Chicago to Amman. I flew from MSP to Chicago on American Airlines. The flight was on time and staff was great. My fight from Chicago to Amman, then Amman to Cairo is on Royal Jordanian Airlines. The flight from Chicago to Amman is scheduled to leave at 1:20 pm. I arrived to Chicago at 11:00 AM so I said that is a reasonable transit time. I went to the designated gate (M11) to find from people who are there that the flight is delayed to 3 pm, then 7 PM, then 8 pm although the moniters still say 1:20 pm. I did not get any communication from Royal Jordanian Airlines regarding the delay. I decided to go to their counter outside to understand what is going on and see if they can get me a hotel room or a voucher to first class lounge since the delay is so long. There was no apology from the agent and she was frustrated and overwhelmed. I addressed her with a very quite and calm tone. All she offered was $15 voucher for a meal. I asked to speak to a supervisor. He took about 15 minutes to come from his office (behind the counter). He did not offer any sympathy or apology for the inconvenience. He asked me if I am concerned about the amount they are offering. The manager / supervisor even lied to me saying that first class lounge is not taking any more people as they are full. I went by their door after my conversation with him and saw tens of people getting in. I have been flying from the US to Egypt for the past 20 years. This is my first time to fly Royal Jordanian and it will be the last. They will be wasting about 1 day out of my vacation as I will be missing my flight from Amman to Cairo and will have to wait for hours or possibly the second day. I just wanted to share my experience with Royal Jordanian Airlines as I felt that their staff lacked customer service.

"seats were a little cramped"

(Sweden)

Trip Verified | Check in agent was quite terrible, no hello, no smile and really slow. The boarding was pretty smooth and the cabin looked clean. The seats were a little cramped for business class and fortunately it wasn’t a longer night flight. The food was a spicy Thai style curry which was lovely. Good Chablis served and topped up without asking by a friendly FA. Overall a nice flight despite a not so nice start.

"service was generally good"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Flying New York to Amman means one gets access to American Airlines' excellent Flagship Lounge, which is, in my opinion, the best lounge by an American carrier (it is certainly much better than RJ's own Crown Lounge in Amman). Boarding was, however, chaotic as I had no idea when and which line business class passengers were supposed to board. Cabin service was generally good with a pleasant crew. Food were fine, and I particularly liked the way RJ served main courses on a trolley cart so I could view and picked my dish. Cabin had a 2-2-2 arrangement, so window seats did not have direct aisle access, and seat storage was limited. I had a bulkhead seat, which provided roomier footwell than others. The 787 was quiet and comfortable. RJ had its own priority immigration line for business class passengers upon arrival at Amman airport, which was a big plus.

"lacking customer service"

(United States)

Trip Verified | Chicago to Amman. The flight attendants need training. They are rude and are not helpful at all in terms of performing their routine duties. Royal Jordanian Airlines seems to be lacking customer service.

"food was all bread"

(United Arab Emirates)

Trip Verified | Abu Dhabi to Paris return via Amman. The flight was okay, the ground staff at cdg while checking in at the counter was no knowledge at all about my extra luggage. Inflight food was all bread in the box. Inflight entertainment was outdated, the crew on the flight from Amman to Abu Dhabi was poor.

"Worst timing ever"

(Qatar)

Trip Verified | Amman to Cairo. Worst timing ever encountered. The flights from Amman to Cairo and from Cairo to Amman both were late for one hour which I didnt experience on any airline since 2011 that both flights delayed. One of the best airports with the strongest wifi ever.
