Due to recent travel advisories within the Near East, please review the latest information from your government and your air carrier regarding restrictions, travel information, and especially luggage requirements for entering or departing the country of Jordan. For example, the US Department of Homeland Security issued a Security Enhancement for Select Last Point of Departure Airports with Commercial Flights to the United States on March 21, 2017 stating that “All passengers flying through and from these locations will have to place electronic devices that are larger than a cell phone/smart phone in their checked bags regardless of the passenger’s citizenship.” The United Kingdom has issued a similar restriction. These new restrictions impact most flights coming in and out of Queen Alia International Airport in Amman (AMM), but not all. Please plan accordingly – we suggest using security-approved luggage locks on your baggage and purchasing travel protection that includes coverage for electronics in checked bags. If carry-on luggage rules change, we will update this information. Further resources:
