EgyptAir, Royal Jordanian, and Air Cairo operate direct service on this route.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come 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). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q1": { "question": "Are there any direct flights from Cairo to Amman?", "answer": "Yes, non‑stop flights from Cairo to Amman run daily on both EgyptAir (MS) and Royal Jordanian (RJ), with a typical flight time of about 80 minutes. Air Cairo (SM) also flies the route non‑stop but only on Wednesdays and Fridays. Combined, the three carriers offer dozens of departures spread throughout the day and night.", "methodology": "Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Amman?", "answer": "Queen Alia International Airport is connected to Amman by shuttle buses that run back and forth between the airport and the city.

The shuttle bus is the most commonly used option for travelers heading to the city center, while taxis offer the fastest door-to-door trip.

A dedicated Cairo Airport Shuttle Bus runs directly from Adly Mansour metro station to the airport, and public CTA buses also connect the city, though they can be slow and crowded.
