Last May we wrote about a business class deal from Tunis from Royal Jordanian. I was reminded by a reader recently that the deal is still live, and actually with an even cheaper option.
Summary:
- Route: Tunis – Amman – Bangkok – Hong Kong / Kuala Lumpur / Colombo
- The first two legs are operated by Royal Jordanian, whereas the last one by Cathay, Malaysia or Sri Lankan
- One-way fare starts from £460
- Free stopovers are permitted
It is essentially a special fare by Royal Jordanian for departure from Tunis, with the option to connect to a few Asian destinations in conjunction with their Oneworld partners.
It is a pretty good fare but then you need to arrive at Tunis first. It works out best if you intend to utilise the free stopover policy to visit multiple cities.
The cheapest route is Colombo:
An option for Hong Kong after the Chinese New Year in 2026. You can save an extra £100 if you don’t stay in Amman.
An finally, Kuala Lumpur:
In theory Tokyo could also be possible but I didn’t find any availability. The Tunis segment is flown by the smaller A320 aircraft but the recliner seat is still pretty decent. Amman – Bangkok is one of RJ’s few long haul routes and on the 787 Dreamliner.
The fare buckets are either C or D which credits 125% – 150% to most Oneworld programs. It will earn roughly 1,700 TP in BA’s new program, or 2,200 EP in Iberia’s.
