Royal Air Maroc (RAM) runs its checked baggage on the piece concept: what you get free depends on your fare bundle, route and Safar Flyer status — anywhere from 0 to 3 pieces. The big trap is the Eco Essential fare, which includes no checked bag at all on short and medium-haul (Morocco–Europe and domestic), so a cheap Casablanca–Paris ticket can land you with a hand-bag-only allowance unless you pay or pick a higher bundle.
Cabin allowance is more generous and uniform: one 10 kg bag (55 x 40 x 25 cm) plus a small personal item in economy. Long-haul economy (USA, Canada, Brazil, Africa, China, Middle East) reliably includes one or two 23 kg checked bags. Figures below were verified against RAM’s official pages in 2026 — but fees in particular shift, so treat exact amounts as current-best, not locked.

What you actually get on a cheap fare
What RAM’s cheapest fare actually gets you at deal prices: on the long-haul routes aifly tracks (Europe-to-Africa via Casablanca, transatlantic, Middle East), even the lowest Eco Essential fare includes 1 x 23 kg checked bag plus a 10 kg cabin bag — RAM’s piece-concept rules bundle a free checked piece on long-haul and connecting itineraries.
The asymmetry to watch: on short and medium-haul (Morocco-Europe, domestic), Eco Essential includes zero checked bags — only the 10 kg cabin allowance. So a sub-€80 Casablanca-Madrid headline fare is genuinely hand-luggage-only unless you upgrade the bundle. Long-haul deal = bag included; short-haul deal = check before you book.
Oversize, sports & special items
Oversize / overweight: bags 23-32 kg incur an overweight charge (roughly €70 on European routes up to ~$190 transatlantic). Anything over 32 kg or 203 cm (L+W+H) cannot be checked normally and must go via RAM Cargo.
Sports equipment: a golf bag or kitesurf board up to 23 kg often travels within your normal allowance; bicycles attract a fee (roughly €70-180 depending on route). Pack sports gear within the standard weight to avoid surcharges.
Musical instruments: small instruments fitting cabin dimensions (within ~115 cm) can be carried on; larger ones must be checked or bought an extra seat. Prohibited: cooking oil is banned in both cabin and hold, along with the usual hoverboards/loose lithium devices.
