What you're owed
£520each if you land 3 hours or more late
Every route the CAA tracks between the UK and Jordan falls in the same distance band (Over 3,500 km), so a delay of 3 hours or more pays a flat £520 each if the flight left the UK (€600 under EU261 if it left Jordan instead and the airline was a UK or EU carrier). Find your route below.
| Route | 3 hours or more pays |
|---|---|
| Heathrow → Amman | £520each |
| Stansted → Amman | £520each |
| Manchester → Amman | £520each |
| Luton → Amman | £520each |
All 4 tracked UK ↔ Jordan routes, sorted by yearly flight volume. Figures are each; the EU version of the law pays €600 for the same band.
The figure is payable only when the delay was within the airline's control. A technical fault, a crew shortage or a late inbound aircraft all count; genuinely extraordinary circumstances such as severe weather or an air traffic control restriction do not.
How bad is it

That works out at about 6 flights a year crossing the 3-hour line, which is the point the airline has to pay.

The CAA's figures don't separate arrivals from departures, so this covers the corridor both ways.

Your rights
Your rights on this corridor
Every flight leaving the UK for Jordan is covered by UK law, whichever airline operates it. Flights the other way, landing in the UK from Jordan, are covered too if a UK or EU airline operated them; a return flight on a non-UK, non-EU carrier falls outside it, though the Montreal Convention and Jordan's own rules may still give you a claim. See the full breakdown on the 3-hour rule. Cancelled instead of delayed? Broadly the same amounts apply under different conditions. See cancelled flight compensation.
