By Plane
Jordan has two international airports:
Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) — Amman
The country's main airport, 35 km south of Amman. Modern terminal (opened in 2013). Direct flights from Frankfurt (4:15h, Royal Jordanian, Lufthansa), Munich (3:50h), Berlin (4h). Other airlines: Ryanair (from Cologne/Berlin), Wizz Air, Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul), Emirates (via Dubai).
Transfer to Amman: Airport Express Bus (3.25 JOD, 45–60 min, runs every 30 min), taxi (fixed price 20–25 JOD to city center, 30–35 JOD to West Amman). Rental car counters in the arrivals area.
King Hussein International Airport (AQJ) — Aqaba
Small airport on the Red Sea, 10 km north of the city. Mainly charter flights and low-cost carriers (Ryanair from Europe). Useful if the trip starts or ends in Aqaba — saves the 4-hour drive from Amman.
Transfer: Taxi to the city (10 JOD, 15 min). No public bus.
