How to Book Royal Air Maroc with Points

The short answer: Royal Air Maroc is a Oneworld carrier hubbed in Casablanca, a useful gateway to Morocco and onward into Africa. Book it through American AAdvantage or British Airways Avios. It has a straightforward business class, and its value lies in connectivity to Africa rather than a flagship premium cabin.

This guide covers how to book Royal Air Maroc with points, the best programs, and Casablanca routings. Award prices and availability change constantly as programs devalue and adjust, so treat every points figure here as a rough, illustrative guide rather than a guarantee. Always confirm the current price and that an award seat is actually available on the airline own site before you transfer points, since transfers are one-way and cannot be reversed.

The airline and its program

Royal Air Maroc is the flag carrier of Morocco and a Oneworld member, hubbed in Casablanca with nonstop service from a few US cities and an extensive network across Africa, plus Europe and the Middle East. It operates a straightforward business class on its long-haul aircraft, and its main value is as a gateway connecting the US to Morocco and onward to many African destinations.

Royal Air Maroc own program is Safar Flyer, but US points travelers book it through other Oneworld programs. See our Oneworld guide and Africa guide.

How to book Royal Air Maroc with points

Book Royal Air Maroc through Oneworld programs: American AAdvantage, reachable from Bilt, books it across the alliance, and British Airways Avios can price some segments by distance. These let you reach Casablanca from the US and connect onward into Africa on the same award.

Because Royal Air Maroc joined Oneworld more recently, verify it is bookable through your chosen program for your route. See our Avios deep dive and Bilt guide.

Casablanca gateway to Africa

Casablanca hub is Royal Air Maroc superpower for award travelers, offering one-stop access from the US to a wide range of African destinations that often lack convenient nonstop service. For travelers heading to Morocco itself or connecting deeper into West, Central, or North Africa, routing through Casablanca can make a trip possible.

This connectivity is the main reason to book Royal Air Maroc, more than the onboard product. For destinations in West and Central Africa that see little nonstop US service, a one-stop routing through Casablanca is frequently the most practical points option available, and it opens up a part of the world that is otherwise hard to reach on miles. See our Africa guide.

Products, space, and routing

Royal Air Maroc business class is comfortable but straightforward rather than a flagship premium product, so set expectations toward practical connectivity. Award space and US routes can be more limited than the major carriers, so search and verify availability before planning, and be flexible on dates.

Search on the British Airways or American websites or an award tool, then book through the best-priced program. A stop in Casablanca can double as a chance to see Morocco. See our finding award space guide.

Who should book Royal Air Maroc

Royal Air Maroc is ideal for travelers heading to Morocco or connecting onward into Africa who value the Casablanca gateway and one-stop access to destinations that are hard to reach otherwise. Its business class is comfortable enough for the journey, with connectivity being the real draw.

Travelers seeking a marquee premium cabin will look elsewhere, but for reaching Morocco and much of Africa on Oneworld points, Royal Air Maroc is a practical option. Book through AAdvantage or Avios and verify routes. Award prices and availability change constantly as programs devalue and adjust, so treat every points figure here as a rough, illustrative guide rather than a guarantee. Always confirm the current price and that an award seat is actually available on the airline own site before you transfer points, since transfers are one-way and cannot be reversed.
