I’m just wrapping up a very fun trip, and rather than doing preview posts for each part of the experience, I’m instead just going to publish a full trip report shortly. Well, sort of. I just got off a nine-hour overnight Royal Jordanian Boeing 787-8 flight from Bangkok (BKK) to Amman (AMM), and I just can’t help but share some impressions.
Of course there are bigger issues in the world, and my complaint isn’t that Royal Jordanian doesn’t know how to treat influencers. 😉 However, Royal Jordanian is currently undergoing a radical transformation that includes a fleet modernization, and I can’t help but think it’s the soft product that needs an overhaul.
I get that policies differ at airlines, and not every carrier is like Qatar Airways or Singapore Airlines, where the lavatory is totally fresh at the end of a long haul flight, with the toilet paper in a perfect triangle. But when there’s zero tidying done, it’s something that negatively stands out to me about the experience. I found the bathroom so disgusting that I “held it in” until I was in the terminal.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
