Royal Jordanian Baggage Allowance 2026

Economy includes one checked piece of up to 23 kg on most routes, including all of Europe. Crown Class includes two pieces, which RJ publishes as 30 kg for both, or two pieces of 32 kg each to North America. Every route uses the piece concept, so you count bags as well as weight. Royal Jordanian sells no premium economy cabin.

RJ's Crown wording, 'the weight of both is up to 30 kg', leaves open whether 30 kg is a total or a per-bag cap.

The UK gets one 30 kg piece in Economy, or 23 kg on Super Saver fares. Cairo flights are the most generous: from Jordan, Kuwait, Rome, Doha, Iraq, the UAE, Saudi Arabia or Amsterdam you get two 23 kg pieces. Economy from Cairo to other points gets one 30 kg piece. All other routes keep the single 23 kg piece.

Two 23 kg pieces come with Value Plus and Flex fares to and from the USA and Canada. Super Saver and Save fares on those routes include one piece at 23 kg (50 lbs), and Super Special fares also get one piece. On London tickets sold as 'Zero Piece', the first checked bag costs 85 GBP. RJ did not publish a fare brand comparison page we could open.

Economy allows one cabin bag of 7 kg, measuring up to 23 x 41 x 51 cm (9 x 16 x 20 in), with the three sides adding up to no more than 115 cm (45 in). Wheels, handles and side pockets count toward the size. Crown Class passengers can bring two cabin bags of 7 kg each, except on Embraer jets, where only one is allowed.

One personal item of up to 20 x 40 x 35 cm and 5 kg is allowed in every cabin, on top of the cabin bag. It has to go under the seat in front of you. RJ names laptops, cameras, umbrellas, binoculars and reading material as examples.

No checked piece may weigh more than 32 kg (70 lbs) on any RJ flight. The standard size limit is 158 cm (62 in) when you add length, width and height. Bags from 158 to 203 cm (62 to 80 in), or from 23 to 32 kg, pay heavy baggage fees. Extra pieces you buy are capped at 23 kg in both cabins.

From Amman, an extra piece at the airport costs $35 on domestic flights, $150 within the Levant, $170 to the Gulf, Africa and the Far East, $180 to Europe 1 and $190 to Europe 2. To the USA and Canada an additional bag costs $260, or $275 coming back. Buying online saves up to 25%, and RJ sales offices offer up to 15% off. Prepaid excess is not refundable.

Saver fares to the USA and Canada can add a first bag for $140, or $150 on the way back.

On USA and Canada flights, a bag between 23 and 32 kg costs an extra $115 on top of the bag price. Between Amman and Beirut the heavy piece charge is $55. Where the free piece is 23 kg, paying the overweight fee raises the limit to 32 kg and no higher. A London table note shows 60 GBP for a heavy piece, which we could not confirm word for word.

Yes. Cats and dogs can fly in the Economy cabin if pet and crate together weigh 7 kg (15 lbs) or less and the crate fits 50 x 40 x 26 cm. Only 2 pets are allowed per flight. The cabin fee is $85 within the Middle East, $100 within Europe 1 and up to $185 on Europe 2 and TAS sectors. Heavier pets travel in the hold for $175 to $400 per small kennel, with at most 4 per aircraft. Hold dogs to Dallas are suspended for now.

Falcons may ride in the cabin on some flights, mainly in the Gulf region, and RJ charges three times the normal excess rate for each bird.

Yes, 1 non-motorized bicycle and golf equipment can go inside your free checked allowance. If golf gear puts you over the allowance, RJ charges 50% of the usual excess fee. Wheelchairs for passengers with reduced mobility travel free and don't count against the allowance.

An infant ticket includes one checked piece of 10 kg (22 lbs) with a 115 cm (45 in) size limit. In the cabin, parents can add up to 7 kg (15 lbs) of baby food and supplies. Strollers may be taken at the gate when cabin space runs short.

Not published on RJ's baggage pages, which list no extra piece or weight for Royal Club tiers or oneworld status. Your ticket shows the allowance that applies, as RJ's conditions of carriage state, so check the booking for any status benefit.
