AD PLACEMENT — CONTEXTUAL
Confirm your flight is actually operating from Marka (ADJ) and not Queen Alia International (AMM), as many international connections in Jordan route through AMM instead.
Arrive early since flight frequencies are low and rebooking options for missed connections are limited.
Keep boarding passes and documents handy, as the small terminal has minimal signage or staff for last-minute passenger guidance.
Expect manual, unhurried processing at check-in and security due to low passenger volumes.
If connecting to an international flight, double check whether you need to exit and re-enter through the same small check-in area.

Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
There is only one small terminal building, so all arrivals, departures, and any connections happen within the same hall via short walks. There is no train, shuttle, or airside transfer system needed given the airport's compact size.
