For further information, please see Royal Jordanian's Tarmac Delay Contingency Plan.
Handling Bumped Passengers
In the rare occasion that Royal Jordanian has oversold a flight and is unable to accommodate a customer with a confirmed reservation, Royal Jordanian will treat our customer with fairness and consistency. To that end, Royal Jordanian will provide information at airports, that contain our boarding priority rules and Royal Jordanian's policies and procedures for handling situations when all ticketed customers cannot be accommodated on a flight, including:
- Notifying passengers of overbooked flights through Royal Jordanian's customer service representatives.
- Requesting volunteers for denied boarding before using any other boarding priority.

Services Provided to Mitigate Passenger Inconvenience from Cancellations and Misconnections
When a Royal Jordanian flight on which the passenger is being transported is canceled or causes a passenger to miss a connection, due to reasons within Royal Jordanian's control, creating an overnight stay for the customer, Royal Jordanian will provide: (1) hotel accommodations for one night, excluding room service, alcohol, or movies, laundry or other hotel services; and (2) ground transportation (if not provided by the hotel).
Passengers who are delayed without baggage will be reimbursed upon presentation of receipts for reasonable incidentals, such as toiletries, needed until they are reunited with their baggage.
Royal Jordanian will not provide hotel accommodations when a flight is canceled or causes a missed connection due to circumstances beyond our control, including but not limited to, weather or Air Traffic Control related delays or cancellations. Royal Jordanian will also not provide hotel accommodations in the following circumstances:
- A passenger's trip is interrupted at a city which is his/her origin point, point of scheduled temporary stay or his/her permanent domicile; or
- When the destination designated on the passenger's ticket, and the flight on which the passenger is being transported, is diverted to another city or airport in the same metropolitan area due to weather or other causes beyond Royal Jordanian's control.
In cases where Royal Jordanian does not provide one night's lodging, Royal Jordanian will provide passengers a list of hotels/motels, which offer a discounted rate when flight(s) are canceled.
