Royal Jordanian’s web check‑in opens 24 hours before departure and closes 4 hours before departure【680691431743246†L34-L71】. Using this service lets you select seats, enter passport information and print boarding passes or save them to your mobile device. To check in online:
Even if you check in online, you must still arrive at the airport early enough to drop your checked bags and pass through security. Bags can be dropped at dedicated web check‑in counters, which usually close 60 minutes before departure for flights to or from the U.S. and Canada【680691431743246†L34-L71】.
In Amman, passengers can check in and drop baggage at the City Terminal up to 8 hours before departure. This service is convenient if you want to spend more time in the city or avoid airport congestion. After checking in, head to the airport with your boarding pass and proceed straight to security.
If you prefer to check in at the airport or have baggage issues to sort out, Royal Jordanian’s counters open approximately 3 hours before departure. Counters close 60 minutes before departure for flights to/from the U.S., Canada and London, 45 minutes before departure for other international flights and 30 minutes before departure for domestic flights【680691431743246†L34-L71】. Arrive early to allow time for baggage drop, security and passport control. Gates generally close 15 minutes before departure; boarding starts about 45 minutes beforehand.
In some airports, Royal Jordanian provides self check‑in kiosks. These machines let you scan your passport, choose seats and print boarding passes without waiting in line. You can also print bag tags and drop luggage at designated counters. The kiosks operate within the same check‑in hours as the counters.
Travelling with a large group, an infant or requiring wheelchair assistance? It’s best to check in at the counter. Group tickets often need seat assignments and documentation checks. Parents of infants must show proof of age and sign lap child documents. Passengers needing mobility assistance should arrive early to arrange for wheelchairs or other support. Call us ahead of time so we can alert the airline and speed up your check‑in experience.
Can I use mobile boarding passes? Yes, mobile boarding passes are accepted on most routes, but always carry a printed copy in case of technical issues.
What if I miss the check‑in deadline? Royal Jordanian strictly enforces check‑in and baggage cut‑off times. If you miss the deadline, you may be denied boarding. Call us immediately to explore alternatives.
Can I change seats after check‑in? Seat changes may be possible if other seats are available. Use the manage booking portal or ask at the airport counter.
Do I still need to go to the counter if I checked in online? Yes, if you have checked bags. Drop them at the designated baggage drop counter. If you are travelling with carry‑on only, you can proceed directly to security and the gate.
Is online check‑in available for codeshare flights? If your Royal Jordanian flight is operated by a partner airline, use the operating carrier’s check‑in options. See our codeshare guide for details.
