[Award Alert] Royal Jordanian Business Class Availability to Amman From 70K Miles

Jordan’s rich history, breathtaking natural scenery, and inviting hospitality have made it a popular tourist destination in recent years. It’s no surprise that Jordan’s flagship airline, Royal Jordanian Airlines, has made a concerted effort to expand its U.S. route network.

The airline has released plenty of dates for travel in early 2027, with business class award availability from the U.S. to Amman, Jordan, for 70,000 points or miles per person.

Let’s have a look.

Award Alert — Details

Royal Jordanian Airlines offers nonstop flights to 7 North American cities — Chicago (ORD), Dallas (DFW), Detroit (DTW), Montreal (YUL), New York (JFK), Toronto (YYZ), and Washington, D.C. (IAD) — from its home base in Jordan’s capital, Amman.

The airline has recently expanded its U.S. route network, making it easier for U.S. flyers to reach the Middle Eastern nation.

You’ll get a lot of value for your miles when you book these flights, which can last up to 11 hours. While you can book nonstops, there are also several cities with connecting flights that don’t require additional miles — making this a great deal if you’re located far from these gateways.

• Class: Business
• Route: Chicago (ORD), Dallas (DFW), Detroit (DTW), New York (JFK), and Washington, D.C. (IAD) to Amman (AMM)
• Cost: 70,000 Alaska Airlines Atmos Rewards or American Airlines AAdvantage miles
• Travel dates: January to May 2027
• Award seats: Up to 2 passengers per route

You can use a tool like Seats.aero to compare a range of dates and routes at once to help you find availability. Both Atmos Rewards and AAdvantage offer these flights starting at 70,000 points or miles.

The majority of award space we’ve found for Royal Jordanian business class from the U.S. departs from Dallas and New York. However, there are select dates available from other cities, all offering up to 2 seats available on specific days at a cost of 70,000 Alaska points for the one-way flight and $20.60 in taxes and fees.

You could pay the same number of AAdvantage miles when booking through American Airlines, though with a slightly higher cash co-pay at $56 per passenger.

Royal Jordanian operates its Boeing 787 Dreamliners on these routes, which feature lie-flat business class seats in a 2-2-2 configuration. The product won’t win any awards, but it’s still a comfortable way to get to Amman.

How To Book

American Airlines and Alaska Airlines offer calendar views on their websites that show award availability by date.

If you’re booking with American, you can earn AAdvantage miles through numerous American Airlines credit cards, online shopping, SimplyMiles, transfers from select Citi ThankYou Rewards cards at 1:1, or transfers from Marriott Bonvoy at a 3:1 ratio.

For Alaska Airlines, you can earn Alaska Atmos Rewards points in a variety of ways, including flying with Alaska, Oneworld members, or other partner airlines, through welcome bonuses and spending on Alaska co-branded credit cards, or transferring points from Marriott Bonvoy at a 3:1 ratio or transferring Bilt Rewards points at a 1:1 ratio.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve been eager to visit Jordan and explore Petra, one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, or if you’re considering a larger trip in the Middle East, you can use Alaska Atmos Rewards points or American Airlines miles to book Royal Jordanian flights from several U.S. cities for as few as 70,000 points or miles each way. If this deal catches your eye, you’ll want to jump on it quickly!
