Our flight from Casablanca to Doha was departing at 1:10PM, so we left the Hyatt Regency at around 10AM. We arrived at Terminal 2 at Casablanca Airport shortly before 11AM, and first had to go through a security checkpoint to even enter the airport, where our passports were verified. There were a lot of officers…

I think if the food was better and the a/c issue was dealt with, you might have enjoyed it more.

Inbound. Not outbound.

That lounge is a palace compared to the dump at Marrakech airport. I don't think there's a separate one for Royal air Maroc but I traveled in club Europe with British Airways and it was just a tiny room, with the same stale pastries and sandwiches that you saw here along with some terrible warm beers and soft drinks.

They're not "machine guns", idiot.

To put this in terms you can understand it's like calling a prop plane an A380.

@Lucky, apparently Casablanca Airport is a dump. I'm surprised how different other people's points of view can be!

And am I the only person here who thinks that 787 looks old in RAM's livery?

@Luda, Its ridiculous what some airlines think is acceptable for a premium cabin. Were you on an ex-BMI (with vantage style seats) or a BA plane (with 'club europe' being economy with a blocked middle)?

@chloe it was just a BA plane, managed to get the front row with extra legroom on the way out but not on the way back. BA lounge closed at Gatwick, so forced to use the overcrowded No.1 Traveller lounge there, then the same food in both directions.

It was an extremely cheap business class ticket in a BA sale (only cost me £75 and net 7,000 avios), but I couldn't imagine paying several hundred pounds for that experience.

Also, how is it "Club Europe", when you're going to Africa?

@Luda, at least you got extra legroom on one flight! Club Europe, IMO, is pathetic. Come on, BA! The reason more people fly easy jet is because:
A: What's the point of paying for Club Europe if it's practically the same as economy?
B: You have extremely expensive fares for intra Europe economy.

The only time I'd book BA over a cheaper airline (unless they were cheaper) would be flying from London City, as I live so close. Even then there's even less reason to book club Europe as there's no lounge in that airport and their planes are only a 2-2 configuration, so you don't even get the blocked middle seat.

I'd prefer easyjet from Gatwick over BA from Heathrow or Gatwick. stansted or Luton airports are a totally different thing though.

Don't mean to get technical here, but those ARE NOT jet bridges. They're called air stairs.

Keep up the good work otherwise. 🙂

I discovered this Blog not long ago, and as someone who is Overweight I feel that you (all? Don't know if I read reviews by different writers) don't make much of not working AC's. To someone like me that is a dealbreaker in hot places like Morocco!

@Damian. You are right. Someone just doesn't between Jet Bridge and Ais Stairs . Good you pointed that out.
