Flying 9 hours in Europe's 'best' airline economy cabin

Passengers received printed menus ahead of the meal service, detailing mains and sides - including salmon - all served with real cutlery. It wasn't the usual "chicken or pasta," and the food tasted as good as it looked. Turkish outsources its New York catering to the Austrian company DO & CO. While DO & CO prepares meals for multiple airlines, Turkish sets its own standards for ingredients, plating, and presentation - which helps explain why the food looked and tasted a cut above competitors.

I spent 27 hours flying with Royal Jordanian. It wouldn't be my first choice for another long-haul flight.

To fuel my travel addiction, I prioritize value over luxury and typically choose affordable seats over upgraded ones. This is especially true when I'm traveling with family, and the flight costs are multiplied many times over. Since I usually opt for the value option when I travel, I try to keep my expectations low. Fortunately, after a bit of searching, I found reasonably priced seats on a nonstop route Royal Jordanian had recently launched from my hometown of Washington, DC, directly to Jordan's capital, Amman.
