Royal Jordanian Fare Classes: Royal Club Earning
Type the booking class letter from your Royal Jordanian ticket to see its fare family and the Royal Club Tier Miles it earns, as published by Royal Jordanian. The Award Miles each fare family earns, by tier, are in the second table.
Royal Jordanian booking classes and Tier Miles
Royal Jordanian prints its booking classes in the Tier Miles table, grouped by fare family. Tier Miles count toward your tier and have the same rate at every tier. The table prints only an accrual rate and does not say what it is a percentage of. A segment is one flight from A to B; flights between Amman and Aqaba or Tel Aviv, and promotional tickets in class R, count half a segment.
| Fare | Cabin | Tier Miles accrual rate | Segments per flight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Economy | |||

Royal Jordanian spells the Economy Savor family "Savor" in the Tier Miles table and "Saver" in the Award Miles table.
- Only Royal Jordanian and oneworld flights: flights marketed and operated by Royal Jordanian or by oneworld partners are eligible. Award tickets earn no segments.
- Upgrades: an upgrade keeps the miles of the original ticket.
Award Miles by fare family and tier
Award Miles are the distance traveled times a percentage set by the fare family, the cabin and your Royal Club tier. The tier is already built into the percentage: Silver Jay, Gold Sparrow and Platinum Hawk members get 25%, 50% and 75% bonus on top of the base, which is the Bronze Sunbird column. Discounted Economy (Super Saver) fares earn less than full-fare Economy. Royal Jordanian does not print a minimum number of miles per flight, how it measures the distance, or a row for Promotional Economy (R).
| Fare family (booking classes as listed in the Tier Miles table) | Bronze Sunbird | Silver Jay | Gold Sparrow | Platinum Hawk |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Saver (O, P, W) | 50% | 75% | 100% | 125% |
| Economy Plus (L, V, S, N, Q) | 75% | 100% | 125% | 150% |
| Economy Flexi (Y, B, H, K, M) | 100% | 125% | 150% | 175% |
| Business Saver (I, Z) | 150% | 175% | 200% | 225% |
| Business Plus (C, D) | 175% | 200% | 225% | 250% |
| Business Flexi (J) | 200% | 225% | 250% | 275% |
- Letters and families: the Award Miles table names the fare families but not their booking classes. The letters shown here are those Royal Jordanian lists for the same family names in its Tier Miles table.
- Welcome bonus: 1,000 miles after your first flight, plus 500 for enrolling online.
- No miles: award tickets, tickets at a 50% discount or more, infant fares and discounted employee, industry and agent tickets earn no Award Miles or Tier Miles.
- Expiry: Award Miles do not expire while you have activity at least every 18 months.
- Family accrual: 100% per family member on eligible Royal Jordanian and oneworld flights.
Royal Club tier criteria
A tier is reached with either Tier Miles or segments in 12 months. Tier Miles are separate from Award Miles. Silver Jay is oneworld Ruby, Gold Sparrow is oneworld Sapphire and Platinum Hawk is oneworld Emerald.
| Tier | Tier Miles | Or segments | Minimum flights on Royal Jordanian | To keep: Tier Miles | Or segments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Silver Jay | 15,000 | 14 | 4 | 12,000 | 12 |
| Gold Sparrow | 40,000 | 30 | 10 | 30,000 | 26 |
| Platinum Hawk | 65,000 | 46 | 20 | 110,000 | 80 |
- Keeping a tier: Silver Jay and Gold Sparrow are kept over 12 months. Platinum Hawk is kept with 110,000 Tier Miles or 80 segments over 24 months. Royal Jordanian's terms table lists 12 months for Platinum Hawk, but its program overview, the Platinum Hawk page and the two-year Platinum card validity say 24, so this page uses 24.
- Validity: Silver Jay and Gold Sparrow tiers are valid for one year, Platinum Hawk for two.
- Elite Miles: you can buy Tier Miles once you have at least 5,000 in your account, one tier at a time.
- Lounges: Royal Jordanian's own Crown Lounge is at Queen Alia International Airport in Amman (AMM), which is not one of our Lounge Finder airports. Business class passengers can use it, Silver Jay members for 1,500 Award Miles, and Gold Sparrow and Platinum Hawk members with one guest. Gold Sparrow and Platinum Hawk also get oneworld lounge access on flights marketed and operated by a oneworld airline.
- Upgrades: Gold Sparrow gets 1 upgrade voucher every 12 months and Platinum Hawk gets 2.
- Royal Jordanian can change these criteria at any time.
