Airline: 'Travel to the U.S. while you’re still allowed to'

The U.S. presidential election is always followed closely around the world. That’s especially so this year following the unusually contentious campaign that culminates with Tuesday’s election.

It’s even catching the attention of the global airline industry, where Royal Jordanian Airlines rolled out an ad on Tuesday playing off the U.S. election.

The airline rolled out a list of sale fares to its U.S. destinations along with the tagline: “Just in case he wins … Travel to the U.S. while you’re still allowed to.”

The ad, of course, is a not-so-subtle reference to Republican candidate Donald Trump’s campaign pledge to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

Royal Jordanian is the major international carrier of Jordan, a Middle East nation that has Muslim-majority population.

And, for those curious, Royal Jordanian’s advertised round-trip sale fares to United States began at $853 in coach or $3,243 in its “Crown Class” business cabin.

Royal Jordanian operates its busiest hub in Jordan’s capital of Amman. It flies to three U.S. destinations – New York JFK, Chicago O’Hare and Detroit – with its new Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
