Has anyone flown Jordanian Air?

Does anyone have experience flying Jordanian Air? Because of the price, I am contemplating a JFK-Amman-TLV ticket. Do they offer kosher food? How out of place would a dedicated Jew feel?
Thank you.

Jonathan,
I flew JFK-Amman-TLV with Jordanian Air just this past Pesach, and for the same exact reason. I wouldn't say I felt out of place, though I had to spend 5 hours at the Amman airport waiting for the connecting flight to TLV. It was an interesting experience, but nothing frightening at all. As to kosher food, B''H I brought nosh with me (nuts, crackers, chocolates, fruit), because the food they gave us on the plane was frozen solid, and inedible. So, if you come prepared and are not hard set on a hot gourmet meal, then it's worth the savings you get.
B'Hatzlacha.
