Royal Jordanian Crown Lounge

Amman Queen Alia International Airport

We arrived at Amman airport just before 7pm, some 3+ hours before my Amman-Cairo flight. 

While batmandds went to the Emirates counter, I headed to Door 1 and check in for Royal Jordanian Crown Class.  

Wow, this is pretty cool... civilized sit down check in like SQ or EY First.  

I was offered private security and passport control but opted to head for the main part of the terminal to check on batmandds who had been unable to OLCI and had to try to find someone to issue his boarding pass... nearly 7 hours before his 1:45am departure.

Despite the sign, no luck checking in.

So we bid adieu and I headed for passport and security, while he headed for Starbucks on the arrivals level.

Not a lot of signage but miraculously I finally found the entrance to the Crown Lounge... although only after asking an RJ staffer.  

The lounge is very attractive and huge... spanning both sides of the mezzanine level of the departures concourse. 

With great views of the retails stores on the lower level.

I had planned to shower before grabbing a bite to eat... but that wasn;'t going to happen.

After setting up shop in a quiet area of the lounge, I headed over to the dining area.

Pretty weak selection of food offerings.

Although my selections were quite tasty.
