GoCrown Bid Upgrades

Royal Jordanian’s GoCrown program allows economy passengers to bid for a seat in Crown Class. Here’s how it works:

Eligibility: Most paid economy tickets are eligible to bid, but you must be at least 18 years old. Tickets that include infants, pets, medical assistance or free tickets are generally not eligible【946147318923487†L770-L846】.
Timing: You’ll receive an email invitation or can check your eligibility online. Submit your bid at least 15 hours before departure【946147318923487†L770-L846】.
Bidding: Choose how much you’re willing to pay. Higher bids increase your chance of winning. You can modify or cancel your bid up until it is accepted.
Notification: If your bid is accepted, you will receive a confirmation email and your credit card will be charged. If not, you keep your original seat and are not charged.
Non‑refundable: Once accepted, a bid cannot be refunded or transferred【946147318923487†L770-L846】.

Bidding is ideal when you want the comfort of Crown Class but don’t want to pay the full fare. Our agents can help you place competitive bids and monitor your status.

Miles and Loyalty Upgrades

Royal Jordanian’s frequent flyer program, Royal Club, allows members to use miles to upgrade. To upgrade with miles:

Log in to your Royal Club account and select “Upgrade with Miles.”
Enter your booking reference to see if your flight is eligible. Not all fare classes permit mileage upgrades; discounted fares often exclude them.
Select the flight segment you want to upgrade and confirm your request. The required miles vary by route and class.
Wait for confirmation. Upgrades depend on seat availability.

Elite Royal Club members sometimes receive complimentary upgrade vouchers—Platinum Hawk members get two free upgrades per year and Gold Sparrow members get one【946147318923487†L770-L846】. If you’re close to elite status, it may be worth crediting your flights to Royal Club to access these perks.

Paid Upgrades at the Airport

If premium seats remain unsold, Royal Jordanian may offer discounted upgrades at check‑in or the gate. These upgrades are sold on a first‑come, first‑served basis. To maximise your chances:

Arrive early and ask the agent if upgrades are available.
Be polite and flexible. Agents appreciate courteous customers and may prioritise you if seats are limited.
Carry a credit card ready to pay on the spot. Gate upgrades are usually non‑refundable.

Our team can check availability ahead of time and flag your interest in an upgrade with airport staff. Call us the day before your flight and we will explore options.

Why Upgrade to Crown Class?

Crown Class on Royal Jordanian offers wider seats that recline into a fully flat bed on most long‑haul aircraft. You’ll enjoy priority check‑in, extra baggage allowance, lounge access, enhanced dining with multiple courses and an expanded entertainment library. If you need to arrive rested for an important meeting or want to start your vacation in style, the upgrade is well worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bid and use miles at the same time? No. You must choose one upgrade method per flight segment. Bids and mileage requests are processed separately.

What if my bid is unsuccessful? You keep your original seat and are not charged. You can still ask about airport upgrades at check‑in.

Do upgrades earn additional miles? Bidding and paid upgrades do not typically change the mileage earned, but flying in Crown Class with a full fare does earn more miles.

Are upgrades transferable? No. Once confirmed, upgrades apply only to the passenger named on the ticket【946147318923487†L770-L846】.

Can I upgrade an award ticket? Award tickets have separate upgrade rules and are often not eligible for paid upgrades. Contact us to check eligibility.
