My Aunty is going on holiday to Jordan (why, I havent got a clue!) but she’s flying from Gatwick on a charter flight. Anyone got any ideas on airline she’s flying on or aircraft type?
Ta very much 😉

It could well be Aqaba – see here.

Jordan is nice! Amman itself is home to some incredible Roman legacy including a very well preserved amphitheatre. As well as the aforementioned Petra there is the Wadi Rum desert, the Dead Sea and all the surrounding historical/biblical sites.
I’ve only flown to Amman. Wasn’t aware of charter flights from the UK flying there so your aunt might well fly into Aquaba instead.
I’ve driven past Aquaba airport and it is very small and basic. The border with Israel lies just beyond the runway, and in fact the Israeli airport of Eliat is only a few hundred yards away from Aquaba airport. Both airports’ runways run more or less parallel.

Presumably Amman although Aqaba is a poular tourist destination and does recieve international flights. The main tourist attraction in Jordan is the rose city of Petra which is close to Aquaba and I suspect that is where your aunty is flying to.
