You would always get a stamp from Jordan when entering or leaving. If you crossed at Araba you could get a visa at the crossing but you would still be stamped entering Jordan and if you returned by both sides. But just the Jordanian stamp is enough for the countries where it's a problem since they know where the border crossing leads (though there are a lot fewer of those than people imagine)

) with my boss. I also realised it once I had reached the hotel. Was so relieved that the "swappee" ( I like this term, I'll reuse it) had noticed it and not left for one of the hundreds islands with my bag...In FCO last month, my flight was showing "delayed" on the screens, so I moved to another gate to recharge my phone and then saw that the flight was now supposed to be at "22:15". 22:15 approached and no boarding was called nor announced on the screen, so I kept charging my phone.... At 22:30 my phone was charged enough and no boarding announced on the screens. So I decided to go to the gate to ask why the boarding had not started... only to realise once at the gate that the boarding had started, finished and that they were actually about to close the doors. Every GA and FA gave me "that look"

Coming off NRT-ORD tired and jetlagged and boarding ORD-DEN on AA I had a boarding pass for 4A and sat in the fourth row of F without looking at seat numbers.
Row 4 is the second row on the 738...
At least the guy with 6A was understanding!

That said, I will admit to sitting in the wrong seat (9D rather than 9C) on a recent flight. The woman who had 9D asked if I made a mistake. I said I had, but she said she did not care. Actually, karma got me, as I had a toddler kicking the back of my seat for chunks of the flight.
