Royal Jordanian’s latest route to the United States has just been announced, and it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.
RJ291 Amman to Dallas departing 10:40AM arriving 5:05PM
RJ292 Dallas to Amman departing 10:55PM arriving 8:00PM (+1 day)
The 7,036-mile flight is blocked at 14hr25min westbound and 13hr5min eastbound, so this will be the oneworld carrier’s longest route. Royal Jordanian will use a Boeing 787-8 for the service, featuring 270 seats. This includes 24 business class seats and 246 economy class seats.
Keep in mind the carrier’s 787-8 business class is quite underwhelming, as it’s in a 2-2-2 configuration, and there’s no Wi-Fi. The airline will soon start operating 787-9s featuring a new business class product, but this route is launching with the 787-8. Hopefully those planes are also retrofitted at some point.
How Dallas fits into Royal Jordanian’s route network
Royal Jordanian’s current destinations in North America include Chicago (ORD), Detroit (DTW), Montreal (YUL), New York (JFK), Toronto (YYZ), and Washington (IAD).
