ULTIMATE LUXURY on Royal Jordanian BUSINESS CLASS 787 | 12 Hours AMMAN - DETROIT

I do wish I got to see the country more! I’ve heard great things about Jordan. Only got a day in Amman on this journey

[@paulkazzer]

Arabic pizza is called manoosh one with zataar spices the other labneh cheese. They’re more a breakfast food. The big 3 don’t fly to Detroit because it’s a family and friends route filling cheaper economy seats but not enough business or first seats to add profit. Another great video review. Many thanks.

I lived in Amman from 1981-1985 when my dad flew for Alia (Royal Jordanian now). Watching this video gives me very very fond memories of flying from Amman to London or New York. Always with the perk of First Class bc of my dad's position as Captain on Royal Flights. iykyk.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Yea, I’m hoping the new fleet will shift to that

[@EpicThe112]

Patrick there is one reason why it's popular it has to do with the Palestinian population from the West Bank in Detroit area because they can simply fly to Aman Queen Alia airport from DTW then bus Aman to the West Bank. For the flight itself this will get tight security if Rep Tlaib decides to fly RJ DTW-AMN then bus AMN to the West Bank

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

That’s all true. The Detroit suburbs have a large West Bank population, and this is one of the easiest ways for them to get home.

I love that lounge in Amman - and you can get Jordanian wine, which is surprisingly good, especially when served by a charming and funny barmaid. I thought Royal Jordanian were great - routing Qatar-Amman-London - I particularly liked the monogrammed cutlery and crockery, and the trolley buffet service. Jordan is also a wonderful country and by far the most stable in the region. Well worth a visit.

[@herenow6953]

Another great and thorough review - what would prevent me from booking RJA 787 is ths same as other long haul 787s - the crew control your view / window. When I pay a heap of money to get a window seat in business class, I want to look out of the window. I don't care if it's night outside, I like to see whats down there. So that would be a big no for me. I'd choose an aircraft type with window blinds that are user operated. I grant that sometimes the crew will ask that you close your blind in time zone transitions, but that is not as overarching as them controlling what you see. Also the 2 - 2 configuration is naff. Good job they had a great mattress topper and decent food - and a competitive flight because otherwise they look disappointing.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Yea the windows and 2-2 setup kinda suck, but other than that the product was great! With the 787-9s arriving soon, we should see a 1-2-1 setup. If they keep everything how it is, I’d love to see what it turns into
