{"response": {"Key": "US-JO", "orig": {"code": "US", "type": "country", "country": "United States"}, "dest": {"code": "JO", "type": "country", "country": "Jordan"}, "faq": {"q0": {"question": "Which cities in United States can I fly from to reach Jordan?", "answer": "There are no nonstop flights from the United States to Jordan. Major U.S. departure hubs for one-stop service to Amman include New York JFK, Chicago O'Hare, Washington Dulles, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. Common connecting points are European cities like London, Frankfurt, Paris, and Istanbul, or Middle Eastern hubs such as Doha, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. Travellers choose an airport based on proximity, total travel time, and fare, with East Coast gateways often offering shorter itineraries and more competitive pricing."}, "q1": {"question": "Which airports in Jordan are the best to fly into from United States?", "answer": "From the United States, the main arrival point in Jordan is Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, which receives flights via European or Middle Eastern hubs. For travellers heading to the Red Sea, King Hussein International Airport in Aqaba is an alternative but typically requires a connection from Amman or a regional hub."}, "q2": {"question": "How long is the flight from United States to Jordan?", "answer": "From New York JFK to Amman, non-stop flights operated by Royal Jordanian take about 10 to 11 hours eastbound and roughly 11 to 12 hours westbound. From Los Angeles or Chicago, one-stop itineraries via European or Middle Eastern hubs typically range from 14 to 18 hours total travel time."}, "q3": {"question": "Are there direct flights from United States to Jordan?", "answer": "Currently, no non-stop flights operate from the United States to Jordan. Travellers typically connect in European hubs like London, Frankfurt, or Istanbul, or in Middle Eastern cities such as Doha or Dubai. Total travel times range from 14 to 20 hours depending on the connection and departure city."}, "q4": {"question": "Which airports in United States are usually cheapest for flying to Jordan?", "answer": "New York JFK and Washington Dulles often offer the most competitive fares from the US to Jordan because they host the most nonstop and one-stop options on major carriers. Chicago O'Hare can also have good deals. Travellers from smaller US cities typically need a domestic connection to one of these hubs, which may raise the overall price."}, "q5": {"question": "Which airlines fly from United States to Jordan?", "answer": "United to Jordan is served by Royal Jordanian, Qatar Airways, Emirates, Turkish Airlines and Lufthansa, mostly via their hubs."}, "q6": {"question": "When is the cheapest time to fly from United States to Jordan?", "answer": "The cheapest months to fly from the United States to Jordan are October and September, with average fares around $1,096 and $1,109, while peak summer months like June are most expensive. Booking about 5 to 6 months ahead, especially around 180 days before departure, tends to yield the lowest prices. Midweek flights are generally cheaper than weekends, and avoiding major holidays like Ramadan, Eid, and the summer travel season can help keep costs down.", "methodology": "This 'good deal' estimate shows a representative best price for each departure date across roughly a 12-month window (about 3 months back and 9 months forward). It is built from real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, accumulated into a price history for each departure date. Rather than weighting all of that history equally, we apply exponential time decay so recent prices dominate — a price seen yesterday counts almost in full, one from about a month ago roughly a third, and prices from a few months back very little — giving a figure that tracks today's market instead of a stale long-run average. Clear price outliers are removed before any calculation, departure dates with no observations are filled in from nearby dates, and the resulting curve is lightly smoothed so it reads as a clean seasonal trend rather than day-to-day noise. This booking-window guidance is built from the same real flight prices found by Priceline users searching this route, re-grouped by how many days before departure each price was seen (from the departure day out to about 180 days ahead) across the route's price history. At each booking lead time we report the 25th-percentile price — the cheaper end of what travelers were quoted, rather than the rock-bottom minimum (which can be a fluke) or the average (which is pulled up by expensive last-minute fares). The buy-or-wait advice then applies a risk premium that grows as departure approaches, since seat availability shrinks and prices become less predictable; using that adjusted curve we flag windows where waiting is likely to save a meaningful amount (at least $20 or 5%) versus windows where booking now is the better call. Isolated single-day recommendations are filtered out, so the advice only reflects a window that holds for several days in a row. The US departure cities with nonstop service to this destination, their weekly flight frequencies, typical flight times, airlines, and red-eye availability are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We identify every US airport with scheduled nonstop service to the destination, group them into their metropolitan areas, and rank the cities by scheduled weekly departures; the typical flight time is the median scheduled duration, and red-eye availability is flagged from scheduled local departure and arrival times."}, "q10": {"question": "How easy is it to travel within Jordan after I arrive?", "answer": "Jordan is compact, so buses, shared taxis, and rental cars are the main domestic options. Amman is the primary arrival hub, from which you can easily reach all regions by road. Domestic flights are limited to Aqaba."}}}}
