Great tip about the overweight bags ! :thumbs:

I have flown Royal Jordanian several times -- overall, I've found them to be very good -- with excellent security, and efficient and courteous personnel. It is my preferred airline to the Middle East, and their direct Chicago-Amman flight is very convenient.

LOL a little story from my experiences.... Now RJ can fly directly over Israeli airspace instead of going around, due to Jordan's peace agreement with Israel. The first time I flew with them, I was quite started to hear the pilot give one of his routine announcements: "We are now flying over occupied Jerusalem." That's something you won't hear on a lot of other carriers :P

Have a great trip !

wait... jesss.. FEDEX some items BEFORE..

that way it cost you much cheaper. Just a thought because,

its gonna be cheaper sending some items FEDEX vs the cost

of the OVER limit. because, you are traveling on a airline vs using

cargo. just an insider tip.. good luck enjoy your trip.
