Oneworld member Royal Air Maroc is currently selling some decently priced tickets from Madrid and Brussels to Abidjan, the largest city of West African country Cote d’Ivoire. The €373 rides require a short layover in Casablanca both ways, but also include a checked bag, as well as food and beverage service.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to our flight search with your selected flight dates.
We have excluded kiwi.com from the search results, as this online travel agency sells these tickets including checked bags without and then charges you for adding them.
Royal Air Maroc uses Boeing 737 aircraft on both flights. They feature a generous seat pitch of 81 cm, but no power outlets or personal inflight entertainment.
Search & Book
The fare rules give no limitations for this deal despite a minimum stay of three days or one night from Saturday to Sunday. Availability is pretty decent in late 2023 and early 2024 – the exception being a blockout period in December 2024.
Google Flights helps you find additional flight dates. You can find the cheapest fares with online travel agencies through our flight search. You can also book this flights on Royal Air Maroc’s website, where prices raise by roughly €30.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
