Royal Jordanian (

www.rj.com ) operates the only domestic air route, between Amman (Queen Alia) and Aqaba. Flights run once or twice daily and take a little over half an hour. At JD48 one-way, this isn't prohibitively expensive, and means you can travel from city centre to city centre in around ninety minutes (including check-in and ground transfers), compared with more than four hours overland. In addition, the airborne views over the desert, the Dead Sea and the Petra mountains are exceptional; sit on the right-hand side heading south.
