Morocco has traditionally been an expensive destination to fly to; well-served by the major carriers but with a noticeable shortage of cheap charter flights. However, in 2004 the picture was redrawn with the launch of Atlas Blue (www.atlas-blue.com) an online subsidiary of Royal Air Maroc (www.royalairmaroc.com). By selling return flights to Morocco for as little as £150, the electronic upstart has forced the established competition to cut fares.
Morocco's main aviation hub is Casablanca's Mohammed V Airport and passengers travelling elsewhere in the country will most-likely find themselves travelling through Casablanca (often it's a stop-over rather than a change of aircraft). If you have time to kill avoid the crush at the pocket-sized ground floor 'restaurant' and head upstairs to the poorly-signposted empty eatery. For onward transport into the city centre there's a train that makes the 30km trip in just over half an hour.
Airlines flying direct to Morocco from the United Kingdom include British Airways and Royal Air Maroc. Other international carriers often require a change; Air France (in Paris) and Iberia (in Madrid).
The internet provides fertile hunting ground for cheap flights to Morocco and flexibility is the key to landing a bargain. During the high season tickets skyrocket, so try to avoid the spring and summer months (as well as Christmas).
Budget flights have an annoying habit of leaving at the most unsocial hour; fortunately Atlas Blue is an exception to the rule. Currently they only operate a handful of direct flights (Gatwick to Marrakech); so you may not get the exact dates you want, but at least you'll be travelling at a civilized time. Atlas Blue also serves Agadir, but you'll first need to get to Brussels or Strasbourg. They plan to quadruple the size of their fleet by 2012, so no doubt new routes will be opened-up soon.
Anyone flying to Morocco will need a passport that's valid for six months after the date of entry; otherwise they'll be turned back. Even if your airline doesn't stipulate that you must reconfirm your return flight it's a good idea; especially if you are making a transfer. Similarly bear in mind post 911 in-flight security concerns as hapless travellers often have souvenirs (such as lamps and mirror frames) removed from their hand luggage on the tarmac a good hour after baggage check-in.
