Royal Air Maroc brings back its London to Rabat route

Royal Air Maroc is to bring back its seasonal route from London Gatwick to Rabat for Autumn 2023.

Flights start at the end of October with the switch to the winter airline timetables. There will be three flights per week on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

These are ‘one class’ Economy only flights.

You can book with Avios, as Royal Air Maroc is a member of the oneworld alliance alongside British Airways.

Flights show as available on ba.com but I was getting error messages when trying to get a final price so you may need to call the Executive Club to book.

If you’re looking for somewhere to stay, Hilton’s luxury Conrad brand opened a hotel in Rabat last year – website here.
