The price of a flight to Morocco depends on two things: when you fly and how far ahead you book. Get both right and you can often pay far less than other passengers on the same plane. Here is a simple guide.
How far ahead should you book?
| Trip | Book this far ahead | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Short-haul from Europe, quiet months | 1 to 3 months | Plenty of seats and frequent sales |
| Short-haul from Europe, school holidays | 3 to 6 months | Cheap seats sell out early |
| July and August from Europe | 4 to 6 months | Peak season for holidaymakers and families visiting relatives |
| Long-haul, for example from North America | 2 to 5 months | Fewer flights, so prices rise as seats fill |
These are guidelines, not rules. Fares go up and down every day, so the best tactic is to start watching early and book when a price fits your budget.
The cheapest months to fly to Morocco
- Usually cheapest: January (after New Year), early February, late November and early December.
- Good value with great weather: May, late September and October outside school holidays.
- Usually most expensive: Easter, Christmas and New Year, school half-terms, and July and August.
Ramadan and Eid
Around Eid, many people travel to celebrate with family, and flights to Morocco from Europe can become busy and expensive. Islamic holidays follow the lunar calendar and move about 11 days earlier each year. In 2027, Ramadan is expected to start in early February and end with Eid al-Fitr in early March, and Eid al-Adha is expected in mid-May. Exact dates depend on the sighting of the moon, so check closer to the time.
Travelling during Ramadan itself can be a great experience, with lively evenings after sunset, but some cafes and restaurants keep different hours during the day.
The cheapest days to fly
Tuesdays and Wednesdays are often cheaper than Fridays and Sundays, because fewer people travel for weekends. A flexible-date search shows you the cheapest days at a glance.
Search tips that really work
- Search by city, not airport: use codes like LON, PAR or NYC to compare every airport at once.
- Compare nearby Moroccan airports: Marrakech, Agadir, Essaouira, Casablanca, Fes and Tangier are all well connected.
- Count the extras: bags and seats can double a low-cost fare.
- Set a price alert and book when the fare drops.

Book the rest of your Morocco trip
- Airport transfer: a pre-booked driver waits at arrivals, useful after a late landing because you don’t have to haggle with taxis.
- Morocco eSIM: mobile data from the moment you land, without queuing at a SIM shop.
- Tours and day trips: Atlas Mountains, Agafay desert, cooking classes and more.
- Travel insurance: cover for medical costs and trip cancellation.
