Amman's Queen Alia International Airport (AMM): Paid Access Lounge Guide

Queen Alia International Airport (AMM) is Jordan's main international gateway and the primary hub for Royal Jordanian, the country's flag carrier, which serves over 60 destinations worldwide. The airport is also the main base for Jordan Aviation, a Jordan-based low-cost and charter carrier.

AMM has 1 main passenger terminal, split into two adjacent concourses that together handle both international and domestic flights.

There are 2 paid-access lounges at Queen Alia International Airport: the Plaza Premium Lounge and the Royal Jordanian Crown Lounge. Both are located in International Departures, so they're only accessible to passengers flying internationally — travelers on domestic-only itineraries won't be able to use either one.

This guide covers everything you need to know about both lounges, including their locations, opening hours, amenities, and the different ways to access them.

This Plaza Premium Lounge's design draws on Petra's sandstone architecture, using warm, earth-toned finishes throughout.

Guests can enjoy a shower, quiet rooms, and authentic Jordanian and international cuisine.

The Plaza Premium Lounge is our top pick at Queen Alia International Airport.

It offers a more modern, refined space and has a higher overall rating on popular user review platforms such as TripAdvisor.

In comparison, some recent reviews suggest that the Crown Lounge's design is relatively dated and that its service is inconsistent.

That doesn’t mean the Royal Jordanian Crown Lounge should be overlooked, though, especially if you already have access through flying Royal Jordanian or other partner airlines.

Overall, both lounges offer food, beverages, Wi-Fi, and showers. However, if you have the choice between the two, we'd recommend heading to Plaza Premium.

Queen Alia International Airport has 2 paid-access lounges: The Plaza Premium Lounge and the Royal Jordanian Crown Lounge.

Both lounges have a broad range of amenities and access options. Plaza Premium is the overall stronger choice, with higher ratings and a more refined setting. The Crown Lounge is still a solid choice for Royal Jordanian passengers and other eligible passengers on partner airlines.

Ultimately, the best choice of lounge here depends on your airline, access method, and which lounge facilities matter most to you.
