Flying Royal Jordanian (RJ)? Pack to spec and skip the airport-side fees: carry-on is 7 kg in a 51×38×20 cm bag, checked baggage starts at 30 kg, and extras are where the bill grows. Slide the bag count and weight inputs to see your total Royal Jordanian fee before you fly — and compare it against the cost of pre-booking an extra bag online, where the same bag often costs 40–60% less than at the counter.
Royal Jordanian Carry-On Rules
For Royal Jordanian flights, your carry-on must measure at most 51×38×20 cm and weigh no more than 7 kg — the sizer at the gate is the arbiter, not the check-in agent. The 7 kg carry-on weight limit on Royal Jordanian is enforced at check-in and at the gate — leave a little room for purchases.
A small personal item (purse, small backpack, laptop bag) is also permitted on Royal Jordanian provided it fits under the seat in front of you.

Royal Jordanian charges $60 USD per additional checked bag beyond the first, and $10 USD per kilogram over the 30 kg limit. Compare strategies before paying: a second 18 kg bag at $60 often beats $10/kg overweight on one heavy case — the calculator tests both configurations for Royal Jordanian (RJ).
The cheapest fixes are free on Royal Jordanian too: distribute weight across bags, wear the heavy coat, pocket the chargers. Pre-booking Royal Jordanian extra bags online locks the lowest rate.
Special Items on Royal Jordanian (Sports, Musical Instruments)
Sports gear on Royal Jordanian (RJ) travels as standard checked baggage within the weight allowance at no extra cost. Instruments under 8 kg and within carry-on dimensions may travel in the Royal Jordanian cabin; larger instruments need either a bought seat or checked handling — Royal Jordanian recommends hard-shell cases and a declaration at check-in.
Pack fragile and valuable items carefully — Royal Jordanian's liability for damage to improperly packed special items is limited, and hard-shell cases settle most disputes before they start.
