But still thanks to good service from the people working there I got some other good options instead so all in all I was quite lucky.
Taking a taxi from the hotel to the airport in Amman only costed 45 dinars, which is quite cheap considering the distance.
The airport in Amman was truly a mess though. I really felt unsecure there.
One of the guys who worked at the airport took my luggage from me almost by force and took it through the security-check.
But he waited on the other side keeping an eye on my luggage and gave it to me right away. So I thanked him of course but then all he said was "give me money". After all he had looked after the luggage for me so I said I didn´t have dinars but perhaps some euros. I gave him a couple of coins but all he said was "give me 10 euro!"
I really felt uncomfortable and said I didn´t have any more in cash.
Then he pointed at the opposite side of the airport and told me to take out money at the ATM over there.
So I really got upset and said to him that "in my country we don´t do bribes!".
He was gone before I´d even noticed..
The rest of my trip went rather smoothly though. I gave the rest of my dinars (which in fact only was 1 dinar) to a guy I came across who was washing the floor. He seemed like an hard-working guy and I didn´t need the money anyway.
My flight was 10 minutes delayed, but I´ve got about 5 hours until my next plane leaves so I can´t say it matters..
Right now I´m at the airport in Dubai, and I´m pretty happy since I´ve got free internet connection here. The chairs aren´t that bad either.! And compared to the airport in Amman it´s actually nice and quiet as well!
Good night everyone:)
