Here is a FLight Report on a flight I did in 2008. I noticed that Royal Jordanian wasn't reported yet and I decided to dig those pictures out and make way for RJ in the database !
After a couple of days spent in Chiang Mai and Bangkok with my mother who was enroute to Tahiti via Osaka, it was time for me to take my first flight to Hong Kong on Royal Jordanian. I went to the airport early, I was the first to check-in. Not many people at the counters as the plane was inbound from Amman and most the of passengers were coming for Jordan.
Check-in was swiftly done by Thai Airways ground staff and were assisted by a Royal Jordanian employee. My bags were tagged to Hong Kong where I would spend the night before continuing on to Taipei and Los Angeles.
The lounge used by RJ is the Thai Airways one. Pictures of the lounge.

Shortly before arrival we are presented with a gift. It's a soap in a soapdish in the shape of a vine leaf.
Arrival is quick, I have my bags in no time and I am in Hong Kong just for the night, tomorrow I am off to Taipei on EVA AIR.

Conclusion

We left and arrived on time.

The seat is very comfortable.

The cabin attendant was very pleasant, when I asked her if I could take a picture of her as she was wearing the national dress, she bluntly refused saying that it was for security reasons etc... apart from the meal service, she was very present, she would spend the flight seated on her jumpseat and talk to the sky marshal seen at the beginning of the flight. She will only reappear at the end of the flight to give the gifts.

The meal was nice, dessert was not enjoyable.

  • Merci pour ce FR

    Il y a 3 rangs sur un A310????

  • Merci pour ce FR

    Bizzare que ce soit un A320

    Royal jordanian à quand même l'air d'être une bonne compagnie!

  • Royal Jordanian offre un produit pas si mal que cela en Business, mais on me parle pas très bien de la classe éco, surtout sur le chemin Europe - Amman avec des Airbus A320 pour de long vols assez souvent.

    Le repas a l'air bon !

    Merci pour ce FR A+

  • Sympa ce trip. Royal Jordanian pour faire un Bangkok-Hong-Kong c'est originale. C'est étonnant d'avoir modernisé les sièges de la business car ils ne doivent plus leur rester beaucoup de temps à voler, mais bon tant mieux pour le passager. Le service à l'air convenable car repas sans plateau, sur une nappe et avec tout ce qu'il faut.

  • Magnifiques photos.

    Par contre faudrait arrêter les TR, je vais finir par en avoir une indigestion et je ne compte pas en rater un seul :)

  • Mais c'est notre premier FR en 310! Merci.

    Je trouve aussi les sièges bien moderne pour un 310, tant mieux, on remarque juste qu'ils n'ont pas voulu refaire le cablage pour IFE car il n' y a rien à l'emplacement des écrans mais par contre des lecteurs portable.

    Repas pas mal c'est vrai, merci beaucoup pour ce premier FR avec RJ!

  • @02022001 Ce n'est pas un A320 mais un A310-300 qui était à l'époque sur le ligne. Il a depuis été remplacé par des A330.

    @Eric, ca ne se voit pas mais il y a un plateau. Le PNC pose une nappe puis le plateau qui est dans une nappe assez grande. On peut voir les 2 ourlets sur la photo de l'écran portable.

  • Pas de remarques concernant l'IFE ??
