Royal Jordanian carries dogs and cats in the cabin up to 7 kg and in the hold. The pet's place is booked in advance — at least 48 h before departure.
Snub-nosed breeds are not accepted in the hold. Direct flights reach 34 countries, but flying there and taking a pet are different questions: the destination country has its own entry rules.
A personal plan combines the airline's rules with the destination's
The conditions that send people back to the ticket desk: closed destinations, breeds, heat limits and how early the pet must be booked.
Royal Jordanian publishes a list of breeds and mixes not accepted in the hold (AVIH): dogs — Affenpinscher, Boston Terrier, Boxer, Brussels Griffon, all bulldogs, Bullmastiff, Cane Corso, Chow Chow, Dogo Argentino, Dogue de Bordeaux, English Mastiff, French Bulldog, Japanese Chin, King Charles Spaniel, Neapolitan Mastiff, Pekingese, Pit Bull, Presa Canario, all pugs, Shar Pei, Shih Tzu, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Valley Terrier; cats — Exotic, Persian, Burmese (and snub-nosed mixes). In the cabin (economy, up to 7 kg with the carrier, flights up to 5 hours) these breeds travel under the general rules.
Royal Jordanian flies direct to 34 countries according to the schedules. Flying there is not the same as taking a pet: the destination country has its own entry rules, and the carrier itself closes some routes to animals.
