Royal Airmaroc is the world's worst airtrash.

×Air hostess are extremely rude

×Ground staff lack manner especially those in Casablanca and Lagos

×Departure time is never upheld, always two hour behind schedule

×Connecting flights often leaves before passengers arrive

×Your luggage arrives two days after you've reached your destination

×Passport control in Casablanca intentionally delay passengers all in the name of doing their job. I see it as racial profiling... I once told of of the passport control guys in Casablanca that on my way to heaven i can never divert to hell.

×If you travel with Royal Airmaroc on Sunday or Monday, there's 98% chance that you will have automatic 24hours layover. They only inform passengers at the very last minute that they have technical issues and won't be going anywhere, often the truth is that they don't have enough passengers for that specific flight, so they merge next day arrivals/customers with those who have spent 24hours to make a full passenger load. (I am a leaving withness)

×If you're flying this airtrash from Canada you need three days

×They fly to other parts of the world with newer aircraft and fly Nigerian passengers from Casablanca to Lagos with aircoffin. Each time the pilots engage the landing gear is like my next door nebour have started again because its really loud.

×The only good thing about this airtrash is that they have Fantastic pilots.

Big boy. You don forget your guy. Not good o.

lol.

Qatar is, to me, the best airline in the world. They are too good.

I use it to the Middle East. Felt bad when I couldn't use it to Dubai few months ago due to Qatar-Dubai diplomatic issues. Had to use Etihad.

For European routes, I use AirFrance, KLM and BA.

For Asia, Qatar, Turkish and Etihad.

Of all the 6 listed above, Qatar is the best.

Not really traveled around Africa except to Ghana few years back and I used Arik.

Not a fan of African airlines generally.

Meanwhile, since BB died, I no dey see you again. Chat me up on whatsapp.

Egbon, I still dey learn o, wanna be like you when I grow up. Meanwhile, I have your digits (********625), is that your WhatsApp line?

South African airways makes sense, haven't tried Ethiopian airlines, heard that they are cool as well. In Africa, I think that SAA is the best.

Ethiopian Air is probably the best I've flown internationally. Great in-flight food and service. Had a delayed connecting flight, took us to Addis - complementary hotel and food (although the hotel food was tasteless lol)

The Addis hub is also fantastic. MMIA and Nigeria is a joke compared to their country's aviation system which accounts for at least 10% of their GDP I imagine.

Kenya Airways is very discriminatory towards Nigerians. Sub-par service/aircraft from Lagos to Nairobi. Subsequent connecting is usually an upgraded aircraft. Flew an AMAZING 787 from Joburg to Nairobi only to be put on a smelly and rickety 737 on the onward to Lagos. Trust Nigerians, flight was delayed over an hour because people refused the double standard (people coming from Dubai, and other connecting hubs who had just stepped off better planes reserved for more profitable routes whites and Arabs. The discrimination against Nigerians and the subsequent ruckus was very very embarrassing.

That's a very nonsensical and misguided opinion/view of the airline.Any aircraft they use on this route is not exclusively for Nigeria destination &
Nigerians - the aircraft used flies further to Accra ,Dakar ,Abidjan carrying other Africans not just Nigeria as their final destination.Does this mean KQ discriminates other west Africans too? You clearly don't know how airlines arrange their flight schedules.

Right. Director of flight schedules.. riddle me this : Why is that plane catering to West African demand (as further articulated by YOU) instead of South African or Middle Eastern traffic? As I said I flew a 787 from OR Tambo to Jomo Kenyatta. It was half full. So they obviously did not send a 787 because of plenty passengers.
Please sometimes shut up or present insider facts/superior experience so you don't sound like an ignorant contrarian. Cheers.
