Business Class Flights to Casablanca
from$2,700round trip · per person
Casablanca is the closest African city to the United States — seven hours from New York on Royal Air Maroc's nonstop, barely longer than Rome — and the door to the whole of Morocco: Rabat an hour by train, Marrakech under three, Fez three and a half, and the Hassan II Mosque on the Atlantic before you leave the city. Our lowest African starting fare, and one of the shortest lie-flat crossings we sell.

Flying Business Class to Casablanca
Royal Air Maroc, a oneworld member, flies Casablanca nonstop from New York JFK, Washington Dulles and Miami, with a lie-flat business cabin on its 787-8s and 787-9s — a 2-2-2 layout on the 787-8 and a 1-2-1 on the 787-9, so we confirm the aircraft. As a oneworld carrier it connects with American at its US gateways, and its Casablanca hub reaches Marrakech, Fez, Tangier, Agadir and much of West Africa. The one-stops via Europe are close on time and cabin: Air France via Paris, Iberia via Madrid, TAP via Lisbon, British Airways via London, Lufthansa, KLM, SWISS and Turkish Airlines from their hubs. No route to Casablanca has a First Class cabin on the final leg.
Mohammed V is 30 kilometers south of the city, with a train station under the terminal: Casa Port in the city center is 45 minutes, Rabat 1h45, and Marrakech 2h40 on the direct service, all comfortable in first class. Royal Air Maroc's domestic flights reach Marrakech in 45 minutes and Fez in an hour. Casablanca itself is a working city — the Hassan II Mosque, the Art Deco downtown, the Corniche — and most clients use it as the arrival for a loop: Rabat, Fez, the Atlas and Marrakech, flying home from Marrakech on an open-jaw that prices like a round trip.
Morocco is at its best in spring (April–June) and autumn (September–November). Casablanca's coastal climate keeps summer mild even when Marrakech and Fez are over 100°F, and winter is mild and sometimes wet. Ramadan moves earlier each year; the country slows during it and fares dip. Our $2,700 starting fare from New York is the lowest to Africa on our site and one of the lowest lie-flat fares across the Atlantic.

Casablanca flight questions
How much is business class to Casablanca from the US?
Our negotiated starting fares are $2,700 round trip from New York for lead-time bookings — the lowest to Africa on our site; Washington and Miami are close, and one-stop fares from other cities via Europe start around $2,900. Spring, autumn and Christmas price higher.
How long is the flight from New York to Casablanca?
About 7 hours eastbound overnight and 8 hours on the return — barely longer than a flight to Rome, and the shortest crossing to Africa.
Is Casablanca a good base for the rest of Morocco?
It is the gateway rather than the destination: Rabat is 1h45 by train, Marrakech 2h40, Fez 3h30, and Royal Air Maroc flies to all of them. Most clients arrive in Casablanca and fly home from Marrakech on an open-jaw.
Which aircraft does Royal Air Maroc fly to the US?
The 787-8 and 787-9. Both are lie-flat, but the 787-9's business cabin is a 1-2-1 with direct aisle access and the 787-8's is 2-2-2. We confirm the aircraft on your flight.

“Steven was enthusiastic (to a fault). His first of three offers was about 10% above my budget but the flights really fit the schedule so well I had to say yes. The other two offers were cheaper but the timing was off for me.”
