Royal Jordanian delay compensation
Arrived 3 hours or more late, or cancelled less than 14 days before? You may be owed up to €600 per person. Claim directly from Royal Jordanian and keep all of it.
Royal Jordanian isn't an EU or UK airline, so the EU rules only cover its flights departing from the EU (or the UK, under UK rules).
How much Royal Jordanian owes you

| Up to 1,500 km | €250 |

Per person, for a delay of 3 hours or more at arrival, a cancellation less than 14 days before departure, or being denied boarding. Flights departing from the EU are always covered; flights arriving in the EU only when the airline is an EU airline.
