Book the cheapest Air Arabia Maroc fare — the Value bundle — and you fly with cabin baggage only: zero checked bags included. What you do get is a genuinely useful 10 kg of cabin allowance, split across one carry-on (up to 55 x 40 x 20 cm) and one small personal item (laptop bag or handbag, up to 25 x 33 x 20 cm). That 10 kg is a combined ceiling — bag, personal item and any duty-free all count toward it. For a low-cost carrier that’s more generous than the personal-item-only crowd, but if you’re checking anything you’re paying extra.
Air Arabia Maroc is the Casablanca-based franchise of the Air Arabia group, so it runs the same fare ladder and the same cabin rules as the mothership. The hold allowance is where it gets à la carte: Value = nothing checked, Extra = one 20 kg bag, Elite = two 20 kg bags. Everyone else buys hold weight as an add-on, and like every LCC it’s cheapest when you pre-book online and most painful at the airport counter.

What you actually get on a cheap fare
On a cheap Air Arabia Maroc deal fare you’re on Value: 10 kg of cabin baggage and nothing in the hold. That 10 kg is the whole story — carry-on plus personal item plus duty-free, all weighed together. Pack like a carry-on traveller and you never pay a cent. The risk is the gate scale: go over and you’ll cough up around MAD 1,000 per piece, which obliterates the saving from the cheap fare.
Need to check a bag? Don’t book Value and pay at the airport. Either jump to the Extra fare (one 20 kg bag built in) or pre-book a checked allowance online — budget roughly €30–€100 round trip depending on route, weight and how far ahead you buy. Buying weight up to 40 kg and splitting it across bags is fine. The one rule the airport will enforce hard: no single piece over 32 kg.
Oversize, sports & special items
Oversize, sports and musical equipment (bikes, golf bags, surfboards, instruments) travel as special/oversize baggage and should be declared and paid for in advance — they’re handled within the hold allowance plus an oversize handling charge, not as free extras, and any single piece still can’t exceed 32 kg. Strollers and a small infant bag (up to 3 kg of baby essentials) for under-2s are carried free on top of the standard allowance.
2025/2026 note: Air Arabia group standardised its free cabin allowance at one 55 x 40 x 20 cm bag plus a 25 x 33 x 20 cm personal item within a 10 kg combined cap — comfortably aligned with the EU’s emerging cabin-bag baseline. Checked allowance remains fare-tiered and route-priced, so the exact MAD/EUR fee always depends on your specific routing and booking channel.
