Route Tips
- Use the ONCF train service from Casablanca Voyageurs station to Casa Port for Royal Air Maroc flights – it’s faster and more reliable than the bus to Mohammed V Airport
- Tangier Airport has limited food options – grab breakfast before your flight or bring snacks, especially on early morning departures
- If holding a Schengen visa, you can fly directly. Otherwise, ensure your Moroccan visa is valid – this is a domestic flight but passport control still applies for foreign nationals
- For Tangier city center, skip the expensive airport taxis and take the bus line 17 (€2) or share a grand taxi (€4-6) from the taxi stand outside arrivals
- Royal Air Maroc allows free same-day date changes on most fares – useful if Moroccan weather delays your flight during winter months
