What's Flying Royal Jordanian Like? B787 Chicago to Amman

- Опубликовано: 18 фев 2022
- I tried out Royal Jordanian Airlines B787 Dreamliner from Chicago to Amman, Jordan. We departed just before the winter storm hit Chicago. Once onboard the RJ B787, I was greeted by a flight attendant dressed in a traditional costume, showcasing the country’s tradition.
Royal Jordanian B787-8 has 24 business class in 2-2-2 configuration and 246 economy class seats. After takeoff, a fantastic dinner buffet was served in Business Class in front of the guest. I have noticed the airline has restored the pre-pandemic service. There is menu, and even hot towels onboard.
A flight attendant told me more about the history of Royal Jordanian and its former name ALIA. After 10 hours of flying, we landed in Amman, Queen Alia International Airport. I transited Amman and visited the Crown Lounge of Royal Jordanian Airlines. My next flight was onboard the ALIA Retro livery on A321 to Dubai. I give my verdict of flying Royal Jordanian at the end of the video.

Hey Sam! We're happy that you enjoyed your 1st flight with us and we're looking forward to seeing you on board again! ❤️✈️
Such a unique airline
I like the buffet, keep it up
So which destinations do you fly to in Germany? How about Hamburg in the future? ;o)
This is actually not his 1st flight with RJ as he mentioned in this video.

A very big respect to the pilot who introduced himself in English and didn’t forgot to do the same in Arabic too. He respects his mother language and his culture too. 👈👏
As a German living in the Middle East, I really appreciate your culture and hospitality. What I didn't know is that Jordan produces wine! I am truly amazed! You are wonderful people and I love you all!
Loved it too! I don't know a word of Arabic but that was just pure class.... and he was right, it sounded better in Arabic
That's called professionalism at work. not the culture. in-flight they must use English and their Native language as Jordan is a modern fast-growing country
@@thomasneuber2740 its wine without alcohol prob
I am extremely impressed with the humbleness and hospitality of entire crew members of the flight
The attendant in the dress, her service is impressive.
Cuz they know they are being filmed by Sam Chui duuuh ! Try flying Jordanian with no filming lol it's like a flying bus
@@aredmi2135 no it isnt, all of them treat humans like humans, with royalty, you havent flown it before to say this
I was thinking exactly the same thing.

Crazy how someone's job is work in an boring Office, store, library and Seeing this man Job is nothing but Flying around the World just making videos. What a Life.
He had a boring office Job too , but could leave as He became more and more successful with his hobby
The Dude deserves it, i met him in Air France. Must say he's a cheerful guy
Yea, no kidding...I want that life too...I wonder how he got started as that would be the hardest part.
@@TuxWing He had a 9-5 job and did this as a hobby, the Airlines discovered he had a following and then decided to pay him / give him free rides... you see, from a airlines perpestive this is free marketing.. it costs next to nothing..
I think he previously was a financial analyst. So yeah, he also had what you seem to deem "a boring office job".
The cockpit footage in this video is especially epic 🤩 Thank you, Sam!
I did that same flight on economy, best economy experience ever! great legroom, and seat recline, seats are comfortable, meals are very good, and crew is excellent! We loved Jordan and loved Royal Jordanian!!!
Royal Jordanian seems like a very decent airline. What I’m almost impressed with is the upmost comfort and caring of the crew on the flight. Also I got to say that the livery is really good on their planes!
Agreed but the flight is way to long like 12:30 hours which is a lot
I’m am flying RJ in a few days a recommend things you need to tell me before the flight thank you.
@@eyadddab then how else do you want to get to Amman?
@@pku0865 lmao i didnt say there is anyway else i just said that its long 😂
They only do it because Sam is a major RUclipsr, they have some of the worst customer service in the industry. I took the same route Sam did, and never again. Now the people of Jordan are amazing, but Royal Jordanian, terrible service.
Love the cockpit view during landing.
I flew with them back in 2018. Bangkok - Amman (787-8), Amman - Rome (Embraer 195). The flight was on-par with many other companies, overall. But I never felt "like at home" during a flight. Easy-going and not overly revenent crew. Rather I felt surrounded by funny and sincere friends. They even gave me a double meal because I was still hungry... 😂
Loved them! ❤
I managed to have a double meal by mistake because passengers who requested special meals are always served 1st which for some reason I must have put a ✔ mark on the booking, so after I finished my meal, the rest was coming and the FA already cleared my table ",no evidence ". Lol
The Airhostess Maha is Gorgeous.
Topnotch service and Middle Eastern hospitality from RJA! My dream to fly RJA someday with my husband when we return to Jordan 🇯🇴❤️🇲🇾
What a great airline. Not to mention what a beautiful country and wow Jordanians are such amazing people
Yes they are! I went there when I was a little kid.
Thank you!
They are very nice people❤️
I flew Royal Jordanian from JFK to Amman back in 2015. Really great airline. Jordan is such a beautiful country with nice wonderful people. A gem of the Middle East!
Loved your anecdote! Welcome back to Jordan!
Wow! I never seen someone from the cockpit talk with someone reviewing their airline. Thank you Air Jordanian for giving us your perspective. I hope that I will be able to fly with you someday!
I love the dress. just beautiful handmade it looks like. That was so cool being in the cockpit when there taking off. I would of never thought you could have buffet on airlines. this is a winner airlines
The airport concrete was an inspiration from Bedouin tents to create a canopy of domes over the airport :)
Great Airline, Beautiful People and Love the fact that relations to its neighboring country are respectful so that over flight rights are maintained….well done Sam 👍🏻
Good comment, I like the respectful relations part.
There was a time when, for young Israelis in military service, it was a DREAM to see Petra - and to sneak across the border, taking a (very risky) night journey before tourism was possible, a thrill of a lifetime - akin to falling in love.

Thank you, Sam, for sharing the banquet!
OMG!! She is absolutely gorgeous. 😍
as a Jordanian i am so happy you enjoyed my countries airline ❤
What I loved the most about this flight was the people. What humble, dedicated, friendly and hospitable people. I can't wait to fly with them in the future. Let's hope for peace.
Jordanians are so hospitable and kind 🥰
In the Arab world it is generally like that.
and kinda gorgeous attendant too
Hospitable? Not if you’re Jewish and generally not if you’re Christian either.
@@jakelivni9576 read the room....
I was flying business from New York to Amman, well, I ended up starving . For that particular day , I hadn’t had any food in me , no breakfast, no lunch, and no snack what so ever , but I was relying on having a proper dinner during the flight . Every item on the menu I chose wasn’t available, and left with choices that I couldn’t eat at all, they even went and offered me a meal left over from coach class that looked so dry and most unappetizing, I had to turn it down . I wasn’t being picky or anything, I even asked for some cheese and crackers, but they didn’t haven’t . So I stayed with nothing to eat and had to wait till I got home . I was encouraged by a flight attendant to right a complaint, as it wasn’t the first time something like this that took place in business class on the royal Jordanian!!
Nice Crew i Lebanese 🇱🇧 and i love Jordan 🇯🇴
It was really nice tour of Royal Jordanian flight. Sam gave honest review and hope they implement those changes including painting of the airport at Amman. And those who are jealous about his work must remember all the hard work he has put in over the years.
Wow! It's truly nice to watch this video that was recorded just before 21 hours! And every time I watch Mr. Sam's videos of his flying experiences, I find something new in his wonderful presentations. Thank you...Mr. Sam...
I remember flying Royal Jordanian back in 1991 in the Gulf War exodus from Kuwait. The hospitality was amazing and the dessert was heavenly!
The Jordanian air steward's uniform is gorgeous.💙 Jordanian airlines have a beautiful colour scheme.👍😊💙✈️🛫🇨🇮
This a crew I’d love to fly with. Amazing service to be honest.
I love Jordan and Jordanians, no roughness in them. Thanks Sam, you're doing an amazing job.
How lucky is Sam....his job it's self is full excitement...
Another great video. It is wonderful that you interact with all levels of the crew- not just the pilots. The cabin crew obviously enjoy telling you their story. Cheers
Omg I love Aylia Royal 🇯🇴 Jordanian ...... I was born in Ajlon in 1972. My mother n father are from Jordan as well. I miss Jordan n I have a huge family that's there too. Ya habyebee El Jordan. Meshtatlek 😘🙏🥰
I once flew ALIA and there after Royal Jordanian Lockheed Stri-Star L1011-500 ER from Amsterdam-Amman to Singapore... Quite some recognition again to see this video coverage... Thanks Sam
Why is Sam’s flying videos so much more relaxing to watch than these other hyper-kids “flying vlogs?”…
A month ago we were walking through that same sad construction zone terminal in Chicago O’Hare to board our flight to Amman! We really enjoyed Royal Jordanian’s crown class and were really excited that a lot of the amenities were back! The flight attendants were awesome. We slept great but agree I wouldn’t want to be sleeping next to a stranger in that 2-2-2 configuration. Loved reliving our experience with you!
That’s why you pick the middle seats
How lovely is Hama and all the crew. Briliant service. Great video, Sam.
I love how humble you are Sam and this is clearly evident in the way you speak with people. Thank you for creating a great channel for our entertainment.
Hi Sam I've been watching you since I was 8 and I'm turning 13 this year, I'd just like to say that I love watching your content and I get excited every time you upload. Keep up the amazing work!
This is cute. I hope this is a great year for you
@@justjordiano thanks, you too!
I was in Amman in April and flew on Royal Jordanian as well. I loved it! They are so accommodating and so very welcoming. I had a wonderful experience with them! ❤️
Hello Mr Chui. Nice to see you back ❤
One of the cutest air hostesses ever
We took that flight from O'Hare to Amman a couple years ago. Loved our trip to Jordan and the flight on Royal Jordanian was a great experience. Watching this video reminds me our our trip, loved to see it!
God Bless Royal Jordanian, big shout out to the wonderful Crew , stay safe 💚💚💚
Can’t remember that last time Sam has filmed a video at Chicago; love seeing him in my state! 👍❤️
I was there in 2020 onboard National B757 here's the video: ruclips.net/video/iZsjCHBvVyY/видео.html
Amazing how we can watch the landing right from the cockpit. Very nice crew too. A very good video indeed!
What a nice airline, super friendly staff, food looked excellent, surely a nice experience! When working for Austrian in Vienna in the late 70ies, there were daily flights to/from Amman with Alia! Very good rebranding🙂
Your videos are first-rate. Now I want to fly Royal Jordanian!
I know right!
I have flown with probably 15 different airlines during my life, including Royal Jordanian. This airline is truly royal and supreme. It has left sentimental impressions on me. I cannot wait to fly with it again!
The hot towels and buffet onboard is still the best... personalised.
As a Gold Sparrow member of RJ, proud to say RJ is definitely a great company to fly with. a small note here, first officer Maher made a mistake while speaking in Arabic by saying: Today's flight is from Amman to Chicago, instead of saying: Today's flight is from Chicago to Amman. We request again to have WiFi service on long haul flights like this one.
The buffet service is so cool. Never seen that before!
Ikr, many airlines are so cheap.
Loved the footage from the cockpit, first night, then daylight. Wow
Loving Jordan 🇯🇴 from Syria 🇸🇾
🇸🇾❤️🇯🇴
Top notch service, I’ve never seen the buffet that is an amazing idea
I flew this flight back in Aug 2021. The crew was awesome and the flight was pleasant considering it was 14 hours!
I really liked the flight attendant, Maha(not sure how to spell it, sorry), She was so welcoming, her personality made me smile and her pulchritudinous eyes shimmered through my screen. I think she is very good at her job and I will be flying to the middle east in 2023 and I'll use Royal Jordanian Air because of her.
I love this Airline 💚
🇦🇲♾️🇯🇴
Good and generous 5 star service💯👌
Welcome to Jordan, we are very happy that you visited us, thank you 😊❤❤❤❤🇯🇴 I We hope that you will visit us again, but in Amman
Now that’s a flight I wish I was on! I haven’t seen the buffet cart service like it since Delta’s business elite 2002 !
Beautiful crew inside and out from the pilots to the flight attendants ! So what that the seats aren’t the latest design or lack of WiFi....
I’d rather not have those amenities and step off a flight that I feel good about and treated with appreciation as a customer!
Honestly other airlines need to take notes ! I hope they reach the top! Something tells me they will!
Thank you for the review!
I love the buffet service!!!!

Liked the ease at which they go about serving there guests 🛫
Because of you I've travelled half of the world by plane. Thankyou for the videos Sam
14:55 (Laugh-cry) Sam, it is not 'unpainted' concrete, it's fair-faced concrete. It requires high quality formwork, special concrete mix, and skillful workmanship to show off the material authenticity of the structure. A very, very expensive construction technique!...
LOL I was loving the look. I assumed they left it like that on purpose for the artsy look
Great shots from the flight deck.
Impressed what a wonderful flight from service, food and the gracious flight attendant she was so pleasant.
Great video, the flight attendant was so wonderful and good at her job
Buffet style catering reminds me of the old days ❤️😋
I really enjoy this video a lot more. This is very fun, but also inspiring. Well done sam
Thank you!
@@SamChui no problem my friend
Nice Trip Sam, thanks for taking us along on RJ Airlines!
Everyone is so friendly esp the pilot and crews!
those cockpit videos were amazing! wonder how they were taken? Missing all the flying days back 4 years ago and hope the world can go back to normal finally this year!!
Very informative review Sam, thank you. RJ looks like a very good all round service.
I like Jordanian.the people r so good and gentle.787boing is so fine.all drinks and foods r ok.i 'll journey in the future.thanks. from f m miah usa Bangladeshi.💖💖💖😄😄
Thankyou for this!!! I flew to Amman in 2007 to get married, and I felt the same love watching your plane touch down in the video. I love Jordan 🇯🇴 so much . I muss it. Thanks for great footage
I use to fly with RJ it’s amazing company and very professional service during Amman to Bangkok
A very solid airline and product from Royal Jordania! it is always a guarantee! Of course, there are some areas that could be improved but as you said a very good experience overall! I hope to go to Jordania soon and fly with them!
Sam, you are the best! I am amazed that you have such wonderful access to the pilots before departure.
I realized after watching several content creators who also do this type of video that I like yours better. Here’s why: no hype; low key; fact-base; questions are on point. I also realized I had not yet subscribed. Taking care of that as soon as I finish this note. Cheers!
I'm from Jordan, it was called "Alia Airline" when first establish they change its name to Royal Jordanian, it's one of the safest Airlines in the world & Amazing Pilots, btw Jordan is open country unlike other surrounding Islamic arab countries, yes you can drink wine even in public restaurant There are also shops dedicated to selling wine Especially in west of Amman & cities like ("Fhais", "Madaba", "Al-Karak"), where majority of Christians lives', not forget to mention that 6% of population are Christians.
Thank you this makes me want to visit Jordan! I have loved all of my arabic/ Islamic countries visits . By far the most welcoming people in the world. However I always thought Jordan was kind of off limits for me... now I may go.
Enjoying watching thus video. Took 2ce Royal Jordanian Airlines Boeing 787-Dreamliner, from Geneva Bangkok Geneva and again Geneva Hong Kong Geneva in Business Class via Zurich, then to Amman, excellent trip👍
Wonderful friendly crews, dinner was good, above that what I like is their welcome traditional tea, cute!
I remember that old crown class seating, i flew it in 2009 from Amman to NYC. There was so much space between the seats!!
Royal Jordanian is getting awesome and awesome nowadays. Love the airline. Was studying in Jordan in 1990’s. Hope to travel again with RJ one sweet day
I flew on Alia forty years ago from New York to Amman and it was terrible. It was an 18 hour flight with a stop in Vienna. There was a blizzard in progress in Vienna and they opened the wrong hatch. Snow flew inside the plane and piled up four inches in the aisle. Meanwhile the passengers trying to board the plane where on the tarmac ramp outside the plane pounding on the door to board and screaming to get in. I’m happy to see that it has greatly improved since then. 👍🏻
P. S. - It’s interesting to see that the young pilot and co-pilot were both wearing glasses. 🤓🤓
Wow 😂 that’s crazy
that's insane lol
I know you’re legit cuz you called it Alia. 😁 it has indeed gotten far better
Beautifull stewerds loved it very well done Sam from OZ
Your flight attendant, her eyes. Wow - she could halt ships in the sea.
I really enjoy the run up to take off that you recorded. It is a sound that I love to hear. Nice meal service as well.
Excellent review.....I would definitely fly with them after seeing this! Thanks!
Definitely should consider it!
Omg I’ve always wanted to fly Royal Jordanian, it looks amazing! In sha Allah, some day soon! ❤️
The access that you have behind the scenes is amazing.
Thanks to you Mr Sam now we know how most of the airlines look like we fly with you here on RUclips keep reviewing them,we love it . congratulations 👏👏
That way of serving the food was fantastic 😋
Wow! what an experience 😍
The pilot is so beautiful, handsome! MashaAllah! I flew with RJ twice from Montréal to Saudi in 2023 and 2024 for Umrah. Excellent airline and good customer service. ❤
It’s the BUFFET 🍱 that did it for me. Loved it and other carriers should follow!!
Soooo amiable staff! Great service! Amazing food! I would love to try soon!
❤️
Amazing you showed the old business class.. so much space, yes open cabin, no privacy. My comment to current aircraft interior designers, separate things more, if your flying two it's great but if not even paying for business you get to know your fellow passenger and what he is watching on his screen a little too much. The headroom and wideness of this aircraft is impressive, I'm sure there would be ways to maximize the use of all this extra space.. the other valid point you made is the windows not full darkness, easy fix with manual shades (my opinion; not everything has to be electronic). That being said the service and friendly crew looks spectacular, being able to enjoy a good meal, talk to the crew and learn new things while traveling is the best part of travel!
Thx for this great vid. Now I want2fly w this airline too. Every1 seemed so incredibly friendly + nice.
Everyone is so nice and hospitable, especially the air hostess in the traditional outfit. First Officer Ishmael was great too!
HELLO, Mr. Sam I love your channel 🥳. Mr.Sam 's video is my daily film to me.
What a great experience.
Nice to see a full service.
Keep up the good work,Sam.
Happy that RJ will start flights from Toronto to Amman. Thanks RJ
Thanks for sharing the world with us Sam. ♥️
