Before I get into the actual report, I should note that I checked the seatmap just a couple of hours before the flight, and it showed just two seats taken in business class (including mine). However, economy was oversold, so there were 22 upgrades from economy to business class.
Royal Jordanian 184
Amman (AMM) – Kuala Lumpur (KUL)
Friday, January 6
Depart: 1:30AM
Arrive: 4:25PM
Duration: 8hr55min
Aircraft: Boeing 787-8
Seat: 4C (Business Class)
I boarded through door L2, located right behind the business class cabin. There was a very cool-looking display with the Royal Jordanian crown logo on it, though I don’t think they ever did anything with it during the flight.

While most airlines have proper bulkheads between the main entry door and the cabins, that’s not the case on Royal Jordanian’s 787. Instead the second set of doors opens up immediately to the back of the business class cabin.

Royal Jordanian has 24 business class seats on the 787, spread across four rows in a 2-2-2 configuration. The seats are B/E Aerospace Diamond seats, which are the same you’ll find on Aeroflot, Aeromexico, Air China, Saudia, United, etc. Standing in the aisle was a guy with four stripes — at first I thought it was the captain, but after realizing he was in the cabin the whole flight, I suppose he was the lead flight attendant.
Royal Jordanian 787 business class cabin
I headed to the far aisle and took my seat, 4H. That’s the aisle seat on the right side in the last row.

Royal Jordanian’s finishes are rather neutral. As far as B/E Aerospace Diamond seats go, I appreciate that they’re a bit more private than standard forward facing business class seats.

At the same time, I don’t love that the foot cubbies are so small, which means many people will have to sleep in a strange position in order to make room for their feet.

The seat controls were located on the center armrest, and were easy to use.

Underneath the center armrest was the entertainment controller.

At the back right of the seat was an exposed storage compartment with a power outlet, headphone jack, and USB outlet.

One thing to note about row four is that there’s a missing window, so you’ll struggle to look out the window. If that matters to you, choose a different row.

Also waiting at my seat on boarding was a pillow and blanket. The pillow was fairly comfortable, while the blanket was scratchy and light.

The boarding process on this flight was a mess. I quickly connected the dots on this — many of the people seemed to be coming back from their pilgrimage (going via Amman seems like the long way to go, but perhaps the fares were the best), which means you had a lot of people who probably had never been on a plane before. That of course isn’t true of everyone who goes on a pilgrimage, but it’s something that a lot of people save up for their whole life.
So there was a massive amount of confusion, as no one knew where their seats were, and people didn’t want to sit down once they got to their seats.
Then there were a bunch of operational upgrades to business class, and with this, a lot of family members seemed to be seated apart. A lady settled down next to me in 4K, with her family members in 4A, 4C, and 4D. They wanted the guy in 4G to switch to 4K, though it was clear he was a Jordanian air marshal, and needed to be in an aisle seat.
They didn’t seem to get that he couldn’t change seats, and they kept probing the crew about why. Eventually they asked if I could move to seat 4D, the aisle seat in the left center section. I was happy to, even if I wasn’t thrilled at the prospect of sitting next to an air marshal (give the amount of pictures I take).
The crew was friendly and thanked me profusely for switching seats. Once boarding was complete, the crew came through the cabin with Arabic coffee. I was even offered a refill, but declined.

They then distributed the menu and drink list for the flight.

There were also cute stickers you could use to indicate if you wanted to be woken up for breakfast, not disturbed, etc.

I was also offered headphones, which were fine, though certainly not as good as Bose ones.

Then I was offered an amenity kit, with Aigner amenities.

The kit contained body lotion, socks, a brush, a shoehorn, a toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc.

After that the crew came through with a choice or apple or orange juice.

By 1:25AM boarding was complete, and by 1:35AM the door was closed. Five minutes after that, at 1:40AM, we began our pushback. At this point the crew screened the safety video.
Our taxi was very short, and at 1:45PM we were cleared for takeoff, literally the moment the safety video was completed. The crew buckled in as we accelerated down the runway.
After takeoff the cabin manager, Mahmoud, made his welcome aboard announcement. He welcomed us “aboard this flight to Jakarta,” which had me worried for a moment. Then I realized that the plane continues from Kuala Lumpur to Jakarta, and presumably he just forgot to announce the intermediate stop. He informed us that the flight time for the sector would be 8hr20min.
The seatbelt sign was turned off 20 minutes after takeoff. While there are two lavatories behind business class, only the back right one is reserved for business class, while the one on the left can be used by economy passengers. It was a fairly standard 787 lavatory, though this was the last time I’d see it in an acceptable state.
Royal Jordanian business class lavatory
After takeoff there was quite a delay before drink and meal orders were taken. On a quick redeye I sure appreciate when service starts quickly, though in this case it was 40 minutes after takeoff before meal orders were taken.
The meal service started about an hour after takeoff, so I extended my tray table from the center armrest.

The menu read as follows:

Then the appetizer and salad were delivered on a tray.

The appetizer consisted of salmon, beef, and some sort of cheese thing. It was decent enough.

There was a small side salad with cherry tomatoes, peppers, etc.

Royal Jordanian has wine and liquor on longhaul flights. I love trying local wines (it was one of my favorite things about Air Serbia), and was excited to see they had a Jordanian sauvignon blanc (I love sauv blanc — I know, I’m basic…). However, unfortunately it didn’t taste good at all — Jordan is not New Zealand when it comes to wine, clearly!

Once the appetizer and salad were cleared, the crew rolled a trolley down the aisle with the main courses. In theory I love the concept of them serving from a tray. I know some will complain about the aluminum tins they’re served in, but I just find it to be practical.
Royal Jordanian business class main courses
The flight attendant was friendly, and said I could have as much as I wanted. So I asked for a little bit of everything, except the pepper steak. It was very nicely plated, and to start I had the shrimp stew and farfalle pasta.

She returned later with a second plate, since the chicken was still in the oven. The dijonnaise chicken was very good as well.
Royal Jordanian business class main course
My only complaint was that the food wasn’t especially hot. It wasn’t cold, but was lukewarm at best.
Once the main course trays were cleared, the crew came around with dessert.
I asked for the baklava and ice cream wrapped in pistachios. As I ordered, the flight attendant smiled and said “good taste, you like the Arabic desserts.” I also had a coffee to accompany it.
The ice cream was phenomenal, and the baklava was pretty good too.
Royal Jordanian business class dessert
The entire meal service was done about two hours into the flight. Once the service got started, the crew was pretty quick, probably thanks to the fact that only a few passengers were eating, while most elected to go to sleep.
The crew was friendly throughout the service. They weren’t over the top or amazingly polished, but they provided what felt like authentic hospitality.
After the meal I decided to browse the entertainment system. I started by looking at the airshow. While it had the same general design as the system many airlines use, it didn’t actually show the plane anywhere, which was odd. No matter which setting I chose, that problem persisted.
Royal Jordanian airshow
In terms of the entertainment, the selection was better than I was expecting. The system was highly responsive, so it was very easy to browse between options.
Royal Jordanian entertainment selection 787
While the selection wasn’t quite to the level of what you’ll find on Emirates, it was solid. There were a few dozen movies.

Personally I far prefer sitcoms, so I was happy to see they had multiple episodes of several popular shows, including The Big Bang Theory, The Middle, The Goldbergs, etc.
Royal Jordanian entertainment selection 787
While I had seen all the episodes of The Big Bang Theory and The Middle, there were some episodes of The Goldberg I hadn’t seen, so I watched a couple before going to sleep.

I managed to get three hours of solid sleep, and woke up about two hours before landing. It was a bit tough to fall asleep at first, as the air marshal next to me was watching his TV and talking to the crew for a while.
When I woke up I pressed the flight attendant call button because I wanted some water. I was impressed that when the flight attendant answered the call button she already had a bottle of water in her hand — I guess she read my mind!
Upon waking up I watched an episode of “Just Kidding,” which is the kids version of “Just For Laughs.” It’s a funny enough show, but I’m still convinced those kids are going to cringe at the rap video at the beginning when they grow up.
Royal Jordanian entertainment selection 787
About 90 minutes before landing a light breakfast was served. This wasn’t on the menu, and for that matter wasn’t very impressive. It consisted of three types of bread (a danish, a roll, and a savory croissant), packaged cheese, and a small, sad looking fruit plate.

One thing I found bizarre is that the crew didn’t proactively offer any drinks with the breakfast. I asked for some coffee, and the flight attendant said she’d brew some. You’d think a cup of coffee with breakfast would be a fairly standard request? I ended up only being served coffee after I was finished with breakfast.
On the plus side, I really loved the mug, and was tempted to borrow it (but didn’t).
Royal Jordanian business class breakfast — coffee
Towards the end of the flight the smell in the back of the business class cabin became horrible. Like, really bad. I think everyone would be permanently scarred if I posted a picture of what the bathroom looked like before the descent. One time I entered it and there were two different peoples’ number twos in there, and no one bothered to flush. The floor was full of not-clear water, presumably because people were cleaning themselves in that way. Several people used the bathroom without even bothering to close the door (I’m not talking about not locking the door, but literally just keeping the door open).
I really had to pee, but I held it in until landing in Kuala Lumpur.

Finally at 3:40PM local time we began our descent, and then we touched down in Kuala Lumpur at 4:05PM (again, the airshow didn’t show the location of the plane, but…).
Airshow approaching Kuala Lumpur
As we taxied to the gate, the crew advised passengers continuing to Jakarta to remain seated. Since the flight attendant jumpseat was across from me I asked the flight attendants if they were continuing to Jakarta, and they said they were — ouch! That’s a long day, especially when they left Amman at 1:30AM.
We arrived at our gate at 4:15PM, though I was among the only people to get off the plane — just about everyone else was continuing to Jakarta, it seemed.
Royal Jordanian 787 Crown Class bottom line
Overall my flight on Royal Jordanian was pleasant. The seat was perfectly nice for a fairly short flight, though I wouldn’t like it quite as much for one of their longer flights to the U.S., where I prefer a configuration with direct aisle access from every seat. The food was average, I’d say — I liked the main course presentation and quality, though otherwise the food wasn’t great.
The crew was well intentioned and friendly, though the service wasn’t as polished as on some other airlines.
Perhaps the most memorable aspect of the flight were the other passengers. Not having access to anything even remotely resembling a clean bathroom in business class is pretty unfortunate.
All things considered I’d fly Royal Jordanian again if the circumstances were right. They wouldn’t be my first choice of airline, though all around were solid.
I had to laugh when you talked about a longer flight from the US. You know a flight from NYC to Amman is 10 hours 40 minutes, compared to your flight from Amman to Kuala Lumpur which is 11 hours 10 minutes?

Granted it is a 16 hour flight from Los Angeles (tinsel town) to Amman, but keep in mind nearly half of the people in the US live in the eastern time zone, the eastern 1/4 of the continental section of country (nearly all of Michigan in the NW, most of Alabama to the SW, Main NE, and Florida SE). Nearly 2/3 of the population live in eastern and central time-zones combined. Once you go west of the Mississippi River the population drops like a rock. Only about 15 percent live on the west coast (tinsel town, Vegas and Seattle, etc). With the small remainder living in ranches upon the range in the mountain time zone (Colorado, Montana, New Mexico, etc.).
@Credit
Some people make laugh and some others even if they try hard they possibly can't. This is one of the most stupid comments/statements I have read so far. Avoid commenting and let people think you are dumb, because if you do comment then you make all doubts disappear.
Right now in AMM and completed my 3rd segment with them. Main issue I have with them ist that the crew seems not to be trained for business class service at all. Actually they provided a more basic service on all 3 segments than I have received in Eco many times. Nearly no proactive service at all, everything must be requested by the passengers.

Right now in AMM and completed my 3rd segment with them. Main issue I have with them ist that the crew seems not to be trained for business class service at all. Actually they provided a more basic service on all 3 segments than I have received in Eco many times. Nearly no proactive service at all, everything must be requested by the passengers. I was asked max. once on a 8hr flight if I would like to have a drink. No coffee or tea offered for breakfast. During the last flight they not even had a scheduled dinner service, they were waiting for the passengers to request for dinner, despite having taken meal orders after take off. So only very few passengers requested dinner. Less work, yay. Let's throw those meals in the trash. When my requested dinner was served (with an unpleasant facial expression by the female flight attendend, because she suggested I should better wait an hour till breakfast is served instead of having dinner), It was served without the pre-ordered drink, actually no drink at all and none was offered.
Seriously, I don't understand what they are doing here. RJ should put some managers equipped with note books and pencils on a Qatar flight.
This is a very generous review considering my experiences on RAJ. It was literally the worst experience of my flying life, I can’t even imagine what economy must be like. The food was inedible and they completely skipped the trolley. It was a choice of two mains and I couldn’t eat it because it was actually awful (and not just aeroplane awful). The “club” was an absolute disgrace - people asleep on the floor and...
This is a very generous review considering my experiences on RAJ. It was literally the worst experience of my flying life, I can’t even imagine what economy must be like. The food was inedible and they completely skipped the trolley. It was a choice of two mains and I couldn’t eat it because it was actually awful (and not just aeroplane awful). The “club” was an absolute disgrace - people asleep on the floor and couches everywhere, stale food and having to pay to use the dirty and desperately in need of renovating showers. I was on the Dreamliner - I still find it hard to believe that any business class long haul doesn’t have aisle access on every seat. Luckily no one was next to me or it would have been terribly claustrophobic. I’m glad you’re experience was clearly better than mine. I would addamently stress to anyone not to fly RAJ. I waste of a business class ticket and just an overall pathetic experience.
@credit idiot, that's all.
I flew ORD/AMM last year on 787 and found it to be a pretty good product. I like 2x2x2 as I'm almost always traveling with partner and I like window seat. Agree that the service isn't completely polished but was more than adequate for me. I didn't want for anything. Found it interesting they kept announcing partnership with US Airways during PA announcements even though that name had retired in 2015 (? I think). Also...

Have flown RJ a few times and never had problems with the bathrooms
Royal Jordanian quite ok for me. Flew with them a couple of times. Some cabin crews are friendly and some just deliver their service.
Anyway , nice review Ben as always.
Regards..
I thought you'd never fly RJ again after your 2013 "flight from hell"? Change of heart?
I never recommend Royal Jordanian Airlines to anyone as I had the most unpleasant experience that happened to me with them while I was going from Madrid to Cairo on April 18th, 2017, as I was supposed to have a one night transit in Amman under the impression that I have a free night stay at the airport hotel but once I arrived to Amman they refused to give me the free night and said...
I never recommend Royal Jordanian Airlines to anyone as I had the most unpleasant experience that happened to me with them while I was going from Madrid to Cairo on April 18th, 2017, as I was supposed to have a one night transit in Amman under the impression that I have a free night stay at the airport hotel but once I arrived to Amman they refused to give me the free night and said that I have to pay USD 163 in order to get a room!! Knowing that I already told them that I lost my wallet in Madrid with all the money and cards, and all I have is only JOD 7!!! They were treating me as if I'm begging and they were very rude and unwelcoming!! No one helped me and I ended up sleeping on the floor of the airport as if I'm a beggar!
I went to their transit office and regular office at the airport and no one helped!! After then i visited their office at the hotel and they told me it's not our problem!!! I wonder how they deal with their customers like that!!! Good service doesn't mean smiling cabin crew or good food on flight! But means helping and assisting your customers when in trouble!! I'm really sad and upset, and will never ever fly with them again!!!
@Credit - As a Muslim living in the West, I would be happy to be 'forced' to go to Church on Sundays...
As long as you can get the Christians to go along :) and while we are at it, which one of the hundreds of denominational Churches would you nominate for Muslims to attend?! Can we pick Kingdom Hall over Latter-day Saints?!
I flown RJ Business Class from DXB-AMM-JFK return a few times, using AA advantage points, and recommend it. Highlights are the food served directly from the little cart - you can pick your entrées and have as much as you want. When they run out, they prepare more. Service has always been professional and an appropriate level of friendly. The Amman Crown lounge is great. Plenty of room and decent snacks/beverages.
The only negatives...

The only negatives I can point to are the boarding, which often does not include priority boarding, which is both unacceptable and fixable. Also the IFE is somewhat sparse. As for the bathroom issues discussed in the review - that looks to be an unfortunate result of the Haj timing. Nevertheless, the airline should take proactive steps during that month on routes where they are aware of high pilgrimage capacity levels, if their experience warrant this.
Flew RJ from HKG to BKK last October and it was perhaps one of the most awful flight experiences I have ever had. Not only the food was poor (only cold sandwiches being served on this 2.5-hour flight), the headphones were also unresponsive. Will seriously consider flying the same route again even though the price is really attractive
I have flown Royal Jordanian a number of times and I agree with the majority of your review. It is a perfectly respectable airline particularly their 787s, perhaps not as 'polished' as Emirates, Qatar, Singapore etc.. but a solid airline and if the price is right, I would happily go for it. The toilet situation you described is unfortunate, but perhaps that is really connected with the passengers on this particular route and not something...

@betterbub:
Not sure I follow. When the crews go on OMAAT? When the bloggers or commenters go on OMAAT? Am *I* an unpolished flight crew because I asked a question? Can you clarify?
@AdamR
When they go on OMAAT, they comment like you.
There have been several recent comments about crews being "not polished". Can we get an actual definition of what any of these bloggers means? Kneeling down to talk to pax? Presenting the champagne bottle before pouring? What? Just saying a crew was (not) polished doesn't mean anything without a reference.
For all you spoilt westerners, and I am caucasian, this is a disparaging report. Moral of the story dont travel during Haj. It is not all year just a short period. I have travelled on RJ recently, several times outside Haj and found them to be better than most western airlines in business. At least you don't get snotty nosed cabin crew acting like sergeant majors. Yes they are Jordanian crew for the most part....

At least you don't get snotty nosed cabin crew acting like sergeant majors. Yes they are Jordanian crew for the most part. The way they behave is their culture. If people do not like it, do not fly them. I would fly them any day (outside Haj) when the toilets can be as clean or disgusting as any 'western' airline. Jordan is by the way a staunch ally of the west. Any visit to the country will re-assure you of that fact. That is my six pennies worth.
I think it's not RJ's fault , but the route-problem full of hygenical retards! Take the same route on any discounted ME carrier and you will have a similar experience. for me that's terrible but I also understand the FA to feel disgusted cleaning that up.
How did you know it was 2 different peoples number 2s?
In 1980 I flew ALIA (as Royal Jordanian was called in those days) from Amsterdam to New York, after my Trans International Airlines flight was cancelled. It was 8 hours of sheer hell. Every toilet was just as you described Lucky, and every male passenger smoked (while standing in the aisles) one cheap Middle Eastern cigarette after another. The air was so thick with smoke that it looked as if the 747's cabin was on...

Every toilet was just as you described Lucky, and every male passenger smoked (while standing in the aisles) one cheap Middle Eastern cigarette after another. The air was so thick with smoke that it looked as if the 747's cabin was on fire. I thought I'd choke to death. More than three decades later I still shudder when I'm in an airport and catch a glimpse of a Royal Jordanian plane.
You young non-smokers have no idea what it was like in the 'old days' when scores of fellow passengers puffed away hour after hour. The "No Smoking" zones were a joke, because in a sealed metal tube the smoke went everywhere. I almost always deplaned with a splitting headache and clothes that reeked.
That must have been the world's longest safety video to play for twelve hours and five minutes!
Lucky is being way too generous towards RJ. That lavatory situation was completely unacceptable. Was the cabin crew completely oblivious to it? This was a massive fail and certainly justifies RJ being put on my "no fly" list.
On a happier note: our dear @Credit once again made me smile & chuckle.
I flew a 787 RJ from HKG-BKK for around $200 RT and bid to upgrade to business for around $50 each way. I agree with service - it was authentic but not necessarily polished. My business class was 1/2 full so that helped. I would be interested to try them on a longer flight but the bathroom situation sounds miserable.
Interesting they didn't seem to upgrade people with status vs irregular Haj flyers. Guessing this means the plane was almost compelling full of pilgrimage folks.
sounds like some of the business class passengers were 3rd world toilet experts
Credit, plenty of "Muslim" airlines serve alcohol. Lucky, I'm amazed that you called this flight pleasant given the bathroom situation. It would have been my version of hell.

Wow. A Muslim airline that serves alcohol. They are going to hell.
All airlines should be allowed to impose their religious views on others and all Muslims in the west should be forced to go to church on Sunday.
The seats are identical with TG's 787, and I always go for first row where the foot rest is 3x wider.
