No. Alaska only credits LATAM flights starting as LA. This is a JJ flight.

It CAN be technically done in one day (arrange for a driver beforehand), but do you WANT to do it? Landing at 9 am means you'll start driving say at 10 am, getting to Petra earliest at 2 pm. By the time you pass the gorge, it'll be 3 pm. You'll really have only a short time inside - much less then you spent on the plane getting there.

What IMO the best strategy is to hit the road in Amman in the morning, visit it in the afternoon to get the feeling of the place, spend a night in town (the Mövenpick or Crowne Plaza are both right next to the entrance) and visit the site again as soon as it opens the next morning. You'll avoid the crowds (they arrive at or after noon), the weather is more clement and you can discover Petra at leasure - remember, it's HUGE. The famous Treasury is just the beginning

Only doable when flying into AQJ (which I think your wife was assuming). Petra is a 4 hour drive, each way, from AMM. From AQJ it's roughly 90 minutes.

So in case of a 23 hour layover at AMM, you are already facing 8 hours of driving from an to the airport.

No miles accrual on this fare but it's a good deal. RT BOM-JNB via ADD on ET. Several dates in December (e.g. 12/15 to 12/26) for $305.

She actually was talking about AMM and was aware of the long drive. She was hesitant to say "yes" but eventually decided that if you really wanted to, you could get there by early afternoon and at least get several hours out of the trip. Still, as you point out, probably not the most pleasant of whirlwind tours.

The reverse, as well as CPT-BOM has been available all summer, for as low as $285 on ET, $315 on KQ, and for $320 on QR - the latter accruing a big 25% RDM and 50% EQM on AA. I flew it earlier in the summer. Seems this is a fairly consistent rate for the time being. Glad to see its in the reverse as well.

Playing around with Google Flights led me to this deal. Looks like there are lots of dates in March available. I think WOW charges extra for baggage and seat selection, but it's still a good deal for this usually expensive week (Ontario March Break).

MH: KUL-HAN $ 125 RT March 2017
Just bought this deal - found on Skyscanner but purchased on MH's homesite. Its 2 x 3½ hours = 7 hours in the air, fully fledged airline (even alcohol as flight more than 3 hours duration). Class O (gives hardly any miles on any OW Pgm, maybe Enrich?)

Pretty normal pricing for that route. I'm looking at DMK-HAN-KUL-HYD in October for ~$150-170

AA: NYC/WAS - FRA/MUC ~$550 through EOS, 90 day advance

While $550 for NYC/WAS to Germany seems to be the new standard for winter sale fares, it's more unusual to see these valid through EOS, i.e. through next July.

OKN9S1E1, Sun min / 12 month max stay, 90 day advance purchase requirement, no day/time travel restrictions

Example:

LGA-PHL-MUC 7/5
MUC-PHL-LGA 7/12
$542 a.i.

For travel through 3/31 you can do slightly better with OLN9S1E1 which is $28 cheaper, but that one works from NYC only, not WAS.

NYC/PHL-DUB to eos for $600 or less, most days avail

Aggressive price by QR ex-KUL

Europe starts from usd 337, the cheapest being IST. Add few bucks more for AMS.

For that fare seems like a lot less destination choice than last year, apparently.
