Terminal navigation guide

Terminal-change and gate-area notes pulled from the markdown guide.

From Terminals & Navigation

One building: arrivals below, departures above, north and south piers off the duty-free plaza. Walking time from the second security to a far gate is about 10 minutes.
Do not navigate leftover Terminal 1 / Terminal 2 / old 1983 halls. Those closed 20 March 2013 and were demolished for the 2016 piers.
International check-in is the Departures Level. Aqaba/domestic enter via Gate 5 and use a shorter 1-hour / 45-minute gate flow.
Royal Jordanian is Section A: bag-drop A1–A3 if you already have a mobile boarding pass; A16–A32 for remaining RJ; A26–A32 for US and Canada.
After immigration, walk through Aldeasa. Straight ahead is the Crown Lounge lift to Level 4; the Plaza Premium mezzanine sits above the same shop.
Gates 21–24 sit on the close side of the plaza; 202–228 run the extended piers. Bus gates still happen — leftover 116 is a remote stand, not a second terminal.
Landside leftovers: tax refund, overstay office, customs claim, oversized desk, wrapping (Tikram 079-899-7000), and 24/7 passport renewal for Jordanians in the Arrivals government centre.

Ground transport guide
