Has Anyone Traveled From London To Lagos With Air Morocco?

Who are all these guys eulogizing air maroc? I wont be surprised if they are travel agents. Well personally i haven't flown air maroc but my sister and mother have, my family and i were supposed to travel together to London in March so we were searching for the cheapest flight so we could all fly together and air maroc was the cheapest available, anyway i opted out for 2 reasons, putting all the proverbial eggs in one basket, a cheap one at that and then again cheap things come with poor services, so for me it wasn't a wise option so i decide to fly Qatar airways which is a lot more expensive but worth every penny, it was first class service all the way, my family wasn't full of praises for air maroc, the flight was almost like a molue ride, unruly, hausa women screaming across many rows of seats to each other, children wailing with reckless abandon and the body odour? OMG!!! not to mention too many stop overs.,from lagos, you stop over in kano to pick more unruly smelly hausa women then to cassablance where you'll be kept waiting for ATLEAST 4 hours oh! and i hope you understand French cos thats the official language , everything's either in french or arabic, i'm not sure any of our GSM carriers have roaming facility in morocco otherwise load your fone with a lotta credit and communicate via sms with your loved ones intimating them of your progress EVERY step of the way. luckily for my family they didn't have any terrible experience of robbers (thats the glory and protection of the Almighty Father, prayer works) but take precautions, travel light but then again what about your return trip you will definitely have to buy lots of things what about security for your valuables?

my advice don't be penny wise and pound foolish spend good money fly direct or fly an airline thats a bit more expensive and enjoy the trip, safety of your life and property is paramount, cheap things come with a lotta rubbish, remember the proverb, you pay peanuts and you get monkeys, that aptly describes what awaits you if you fly cheap, besides you'll be at he mercy if this north africans when you get to cassablanca and from what i'v heard those people are not the most hospitable people in the world

just my 2 cents


i beg to differ with some of your statements
i am a frequent flier and i have had crappy service flying BA and KLM in the past
i have lost luggage with BA never to be found!

safety of your life is not determined by flying business class on EMIRATES or coach on AIR MAROC
its in Gods hands abeg

luckily for me we had a stop over in kano but spent just an hour in cassablanca which is a beautiful place
i am not a travel agent so i can say i am unbiased

broaden your horizon its not evrytime you should take the same ol same ol
variety is the spice of life

about the smelly hausa ppl
i am married to a hausa man and i take that statement very personal biko!
cant we for once have civil convos here without bringing in tribal sentiments lawd!

for your info my husband just flew 1st class direct on one of the so called best airlines 2 weeks ago and it was the worse trip ever
not only did it end up being "not direct"
the airline made d ppl in economy carry their checked in luggage from one terminal to another

so bros stop the generalisation already!

@OP

Air Moroc, no doubt is a nice airline.
However make u shine your eye "sam-sam" 4 those thieves as u transit morocco. _{my bros had a bad xperiance there.}

any idea if a transit visa is required, for the flight change in casablanca,  travelling early next year and everyone else is sold out or asking for 1/2 a million naira

Now  that everyone mentioned the positive aspects of RAM (air fare, reliability, etc.) I'll list the disadvantages:

1- Their flight timing is absolutely horrible.  Arrival in Lagos 0230 AM so security-wise and convenience-wise it's a big ZERO.

2- Nigerians should expect many Moroccan officers at Casablanca Airport to be downright racists.
Many Nigerians will be denied the right to be lodged in the nearby hotel (if their connection time exceeds 8 hours) simply because they're Africans and Africans are believed to be high risk of illegal immigration,
When I travelled from Lagos to Madrid via Casablanca last January, a snow storm in Madrid shut that airport for 3 days.  The result was 3 days being stuck in Casablanca.  After long begging RAM agreed to bear responsbility for my lodging (since I'm Oyibo).   To my shock and horror, the other Nigerian passengers spent 3 days on the airport floor.

3- Inflight entertainment possibility is zero.  The onboard food quality is so-so.  But still I can't complain, I paid 550 euros for my return ticket!!!
