Good morning everyone. I arrived in the UK yesterday and decided to share some experience I encountered, as I'm an advocate of sharing such experiences because it will surely help someone.

My visa application was in July 3rd and visa approved on the 21st July 2025.

I booked a flight to the UK via Royal Air Maroc which is a transit flight. i. e. From Nigeria to Morocco and to the UK.

Flight from Nigeria to Morocco was by 7am on friday to arrive Morocco by 11:30am.

We arrived Morocco by 11:28am and before we could pass through their immigration checks and all, the transit flight to the UK left a whole lot of us at their airport stranded.

We ended up staying at their airport for 3 good days without any valid reason as to why our flight left without picking us all up.

Finally, we booked a new flight as they as they kept insisting there's nothing they can do for us. Then on getting to the UK, they left some of our bags in Morocco 🤦‍♂️ after I severally asked them back in Morocco if our bags will travel with us and they said yes.

My little advice is for people to avoid this particular airline Royal Air Maroc because lots and lots of people were frustrated in their airport. Some have slept there like refugees for 5 days and more without them even doing anything to assist you even when it's their fault you missed your flight.

I wish everyone here good luck and at the end, do what works best for you. ✌️
