Direct_Flights_to_Morocco_From_the_USA__Where_to_Fly_In_and_Out

Yes, there are direct flights to Morocco from the USA. Royal Air Maroc flies nonstop to Casablanca from New York, Washington, D.C., Miami and Los Angeles. In the winter season, Delta flies nonstop from Atlanta and United from Newark to Marrakech.

Casablanca and Marrakech are the two main gateways, and either one works well as the start and end of your trip. This guide covers the nonstop routes, the one-stop options through Europe and how to choose your airport. Routes and schedules change often, so always confirm on the airline’s website before you book.

Los Angeles is Royal Air Maroc’s first nonstop link between the US West Coast and Morocco. The Marrakech flights do not run in summer, so check the dates for your travel month. If your home airport is not on this list, you can connect through one of these cities or through Europe.

Flying Through Europe

A flight with one stop in Europe gives you more choice of US departure city and more ways to reach Marrakech year round. Common choices include:

  • Iberia through Madrid
  • TAP Air Portugal through Lisbon
  • Air France through Paris
  • Other European airlines through their home hubs

From Europe, low-cost and full-service airlines fly nonstop to Marrakech and Casablanca, and also to Fes, Tangier and Agadir. Low fares often exclude bags, so compare the full price, not only the ticket.

If you are combining Spain and Morocco, ask us about routes that start in the north.

Casablanca or Marrakech: Which Airport Should You Use?

Both work well, and they are about two and a half hours apart by highway. Our tours start and end in either city, with airport pickup and drop-off in both, and you fly into and out of the same one.

Tips for Booking Your Flights

  • You book your own flights. We do not book flights or ferries. Send us your confirmed times and we plan the trip around them.
  • Book a round trip to one city. Flying into and out of Casablanca, or into and out of Marrakech, keeps your airport transfers simple.
  • Plan an easy first day. Overnight flights from the US often land in the morning, so keep day one relaxed.
  • Check your flight home. Many flights from Casablanca to the US leave in the morning. If yours does, spend your last night in Casablanca so you are not rushing from Marrakech.
  • Skip internal flights. We travel overland with a private driver and guide, which avoids airport time, weather delays and lost luggage. See the distances between major cities in Morocco.
  • Check entry rules. Read Morocco visa requirements and confirm passport rules on your government’s official site.
  • Plan your phone. See how to use your phone in Morocco before you land.
  • Pick your season. The best time to visit Morocco helps you choose dates before you search for fares.
  • Get insurance. We recommend travel insurance for every trip.
