I had been planning a trip to Turkey for a while but in the weeks leading up to it I wanted to add another destination. Enter Jordan.<\/p>

I’ve always wanted to visit Jordan especially after seeing countless videos on social media of Petra, Wadi Rum, and of course all the amazing food it has to offer. <\/p>

Now I knew I would already be in Istanbul after taking a flight via Warsaw on LOT Polish Airlines<\/a>. I had about 7 days where I can add another destination and given Jordan was a quick 2 hour flight I was sold.<\/p>

Royal Jordanian and Turkish Airlines were the only 2 to operate non stop flights. Given the times of departure I chose Royal Jordanian, a Oneworld Alliance airline, and I was excited to try a new airline.<\/p>

Note:<\/strong> I reviewed this flight from IST to AMM on our review platform<\/a> and you can review it there as well.<\/p>

Booking Process<\/h2>

With any flight I am booking the question always is: points or cash? I don’t usually use points for short haul trips and I also don’t often fly Oneworld airlines so I was a bit new to this.<\/p>

I did find the option to fly into Amman for only 15,000 Air Canada Aeroplan points if I decided to fly Turkish Airlines but I really wanted to try Royal Jordanian. <\/p>

Given I didn’t have many options for a point booking – I went with a cash fare that was about $350 round trip in economy. <\/p>

After booking and a few days before departure, I did get an email asking if I wanted to upgrade.<\/p>
