morocco summer travel

[Visa4habibi! 0]

i had not planned on going to morocco yet again before my fiance arrived in the us. but now that the consulate is still closed and no opening in sight (and who knows when his interview will end up being/how long AP will be!!) i want to go see my fiance so badly. now that summer is here prices for plane tickets are DOUBLE what i paid just a few months ago. i've been checking everywhere.

travelocity, sidestep, kayak, expedia, orbitz, royal air maroc website, etc. does anyone have any in on finding good deals that i don't know of? i've also called my local moroccan travel agent and am waiting to hear back about what he can find. the best i can find has been around $1300. thats insane!

1st time I went I used a travel agent from Philly, she got me a ticket with British Airways for $720, but that was three years ago. Prices have changed since then(I went in August-September). Since then I've been using RAM booking online. They used to have a 'last minute deals' thing on the site, and you had to get it less than a week ahed. Also you had to be going for 14 days or under. Last time I searched and searched, but couldn't find that on their site.

I could have used some other airline again, but remembering the pain with BA (6 hour overlay) I chose direct flight. Hope that helps.

Hi--I am leaving this Wednesday to go to Marrakech to see Hamid. I went in March and paid around 1100.00 to go from TN to Casa. That included insurance policy. I went through Detroit/Amsterdam and back through Amsterdam/Minneapolis.

This time I am flying on to Marrakech, which costs about 300.00 more than Casa. BUT this time it is almost 1700.00 (with insurance policy) cuz of tourist season. I will be going through DC/London and back the same way. It's true that it often takes 24 hours, but what can a person do?

Anyway, I have found the best deals on cheapflights.com. In a while, I will be familiar with all the airports in the universe--lol. HOpe this helps. PS--I am hoping to go again in Sept. on my next teaching break. Let those jerks in Casa tell us we aren't serious---!!!!

wow you found good deals. that first one was good because it is september though. summer is always quite a bit more expensive.

i would prefer to go soon. before ramadan. like the end of june or early to mid july and stay a month. but definitely can't pay over a thousand. 800 would be better! lol

Jenn: i found summer rates for under 1000$ which is good for summer. As I said you have to play around with the dates to find the deals. They change daily.

Jen do they have the "last minute" deal with RAM? It used to be 600$ from NYC to Casa if you book a week or two before you go. Check it out!

That site is really worthless.

And I have found better one. I am thinking to change my ticket to get a direct flight from Detroit instead of going from NYC.

[Henia 11]

Well with the recent events in NYC I canceled my ticket and going from Detroit instead. I found probably the best fare so on farebuzz.com Got our tickets (1adult and 1 children under 11 to Alger from Detroit) for (rounded up)1600$USD I actually bought this ticket, not just made a reservation. Bonne chance to everyone else traveling this summer!
