Marrakesh Flights

We flew to Marrakech with British Airways from London Gatwick (British Airways also fly to Marrakech from Heathrow). The flight took around 3 hours. On our return flight, the plane went via Casablanca, where it stopped for about 45 minutes for re-fuelling and to take on more passengers (while we remained on the plane). This made our return journey about 5 hours all up.

Other airlines that fly from the UK to Marrakech include Ryanair from London Luton, Easyjet and Atlas Blue from London Gatwick and Royal Air Maroc from London Heathrow.

Marrakech Menara airport is pretty basic and the service is very slow....we almost missed our flight! After queuing for ages to check in, then had to wait forever to get through the passport check....by the time we got to the queue for hand luggage scanning we had 10 minutes till our flight left - luckily we managed to jump to the head of the queue, then had to run to the gate, and were last on the plane!

We flew from Karlsruhe/Germany directly to Marrakesh with hapagfly.

It was a totally enjoyable flight of about 3 hours, lovely food, friendly staff and excellent vision!

The airport in Marrakesh is a very small one by the name of Menara, passport control was decent, customs as well and best of all: the airport is only some 10 minutes drive from the city!

Air travel for me was not a problem. We had to stop at Cassablanca airport to change planes, but my poor friend who is darker of colour were held back by the authorities accusing her of being a Marrokan that stole a passport. We had quite a problem

Will be setting off from Bristol on 4/11/08 to Marrakech. £30.00 return with Ryanair. Will let you know how it goes...
