Flight
Looking for the best deals on flights to Amman, Jordan? Here are some tips to snag the cheapest tickets: Start your search on Momondo or Skyscanner for comprehensive flight options. Keep an eye out for Ryanair flights, which sometimes fly to Amman from Paris, Milan, and Madrid with additional connecting options. Check out Wizz Air, offering flights from London, Vienna, Budapest, and Rome. Check out Royal Jordanian as well which offers direct flights from many cities in Europe, and in UK (London and Manchester) for good prices and deals sometimes. Amman has one main airport: Queen Alia International. We recommend flying here for convenience. Upon arrival, transportation to Amman is hassle-free. Use Uber or opt for an airport taxi from the official booth outside the terminal. While some drivers may approach you, it's safer to use the official service. Remember to carry cash for taxi fares if you're not using an app like Uber or Careem. For currency exchange, we suggest only exchanging a small amount in the airport (50 euros/pounds/dollars) as the city exchange shops offer way better rates. In Jordan, both Uber and Careem are reliable options for getting around. Happy travels
