Royal Jordanian Boeing 787 Business Class Review

Royal Jordanian offers a comfortable lie-flat Business Class seat on its Boeing 787-8. We review the service between Bangkok and Amman, a flight that you can book using Qantas Points.

I always wanted to try them but this review doesn’t really sound like it’s a big miss if I never get to it: That config looks rather basic for a 787 and the meals sound and look similar, compared to similar J class products.

Might be rather coming handy one day for shorter connections in the Middle East/ Europe as there’s usually good award availability.

Pretty bang on review and mirrors my experiences. Definitely not a patch of most of the rival ME airlines and a bit underwhelming really. Had some ok flights on their regional aircraft but wouldn’t be my first choice airline

Flew Chicago to Amman in 2022. Unfortunately renovations at O'Hare so no lounge access, which was pathetic. We had flown Seattle to Chicago and had a long wait in Chicago.
However was very happy with the business class seating (found it very plush and comfortable); food (lovely selection and menu was exciting) & even more impressed with the large toilet cubicles which were at the front of the plane.
This was part of a OWA in business class. My husband & I had flown to the US on JAL via Tokyo; had some internal flights ; then on to Amman.
From Amman we flew to Doha on Royal Jordanian & were very impressed by the lounge in Amman. However, showers were not free!
This was a small aircraft as it was a short flight & was just meh.

So I'm guessing they save the better aircraft for longer routes.

We returned home on Qatar airlines , I'm going to be in the minority when I say that I was not that impressed by their business class offering. Though the seats & menu were lovely ( & of course the lounge experience was unbeatable).
