Understanding Royal Jordanian Flight Change Fees

Royal Jordanian allows passengers to change their tickets, but the cost of doing so depends on your fare type and route. According to published policies, the first change on many fare classes is free, but subsequent changes can incur fees between $100 and $200 plus any difference in fare【218732630891428†L350-L369】. If you purchased a flexible or business‑class ticket, you may have more generous conditions, while deeply discounted economy fares are usually the least flexible. When you make changes offline—by calling an agent or visiting the airport—Royal Jordanian often charges an additional service fee of approximately $60【218732630891428†L350-L369】. Understanding these nuances helps you decide whether to handle the change yourself online or seek help to avoid unnecessary costs.

Changing Your Flight Online

For many travellers, the easiest and cheapest way to modify a booking is through Royal Jordanian’s Manage My Booking tool. Here’s a step‑by‑step guide:

Go to the Royal Jordanian website and select Manage My Booking.
Enter your six‑character reservation number (PNR) and the last name of the primary passenger.
Locate the flight you wish to change and click Modify Flight. You will see a list of alternative dates and times. Choose the one that best fits your revised plans.
If the new flight is more expensive, you will be asked to pay the difference. If it is cheaper, you may receive credit for future travel depending on the fare rules.
Review the change summary, including any fee. Confirm the change and save or print the updated itinerary.

Web changes generally avoid the offline service fee. However, if you encounter an error or need to adjust complex multi‑city itineraries, it may be better to call our support team. We can walk you through the process or handle it for you at no extra cost beyond the airline’s own change fee.

Changing Your Flight by Phone

Sometimes speaking to a person is the quickest way to sort things out, especially if you have special circumstances or need to change a flight on short notice. You can call Royal Jordanian directly, but wait times can be long. Instead, dial our dedicated line at +1 (833) 605-6004. Have your booking reference, travel dates and desired new itinerary ready. Our agents will:

Verify your identity and booking details.
Explain any applicable change fees and fare differences.
Search for alternative flights that fit your schedule.
Process the change immediately and email you the updated ticket.

Calling ensures you understand the rules and minimises surprises. If your ticket was booked through a travel agency or includes codeshare segments, rules may differ; our team will liaise with Royal Jordanian on your behalf to find the best outcome.

Changing Your Flight at the Airport

If you are already at the airport, you can modify your ticket at a Royal Jordanian ticket counter. Arrive early—at least three hours before departure for international flights—because counters typically close about one hour before departure. Explain your situation to the agent and ask about available options. Although airport staff can rebook you, they may be limited by seat availability. Call us before heading to the airport so we can secure a seat and let the airline know you are coming. Doing so may save you the stress of waiting in line only to discover there are no suitable flights remaining.

Tips for Minimising Change Fees

Travel plans are unpredictable, but there are strategies to reduce or eliminate change penalties:

Purchase flexible fares: When you expect that your plans could change, choose tickets with changeability built in, even if they cost more.
Act quickly: Change fees often rise as the departure date approaches. Modify your flight as soon as you know you need to.
Monitor schedule changes: If Royal Jordanian changes your flight significantly—such as altering the departure time by several hours—you may be entitled to a free change or refund.
Consider travel insurance: Some policies cover flight change fees for covered reasons like illness or emergencies.

Scenarios and Your Rights

There is a difference between voluntary changes (you change your plans) and involuntary changes (the airline alters the schedule). When a schedule change or cancellation is initiated by Royal Jordanian, you are generally entitled to rebooking on the next available flight or a refund of the unused portion of your ticket【218732630891428†L374-L463】. In these cases, the standard change fee may be waived. If you are flying from or to the European Union, you may also qualify for compensation under EU Regulation EC 261 if the delay or cancellation causes you to arrive more than three hours late and is within the airline’s control. Document everything and contact us immediately so we can advocate on your behalf.
