Passenger type ADT, ONE-WAY-ONLY fare, booking code Q
Covers AMM-BEY (Economy)
$67.53

Jordan Embarkation Tax (HQ) $56.30
Jordan Passenger Terminal Use Fee (NH) $8.40
RJ YR surcharge (YR) $39.80
RJ YQ surcharge (YQ) $5.70
Subtotal per passenger
	
$178.20
You will see the fare is only 67.53 USD and thus regrettably the Avios price you are quoted is accurate.

The booking charge can probably be evaded if you ask nicely. At least that is my experience.
AA appears to charge both of the Jordan fees but neither of the surcharges. But they charge more miles.

Seriously, thank you. I'll continue to think about whether I should have a princess moment, and whether I should use the nominal Avios to lower the ticket price.
