Is Royal Air Maroc Airlines as bad as people say?

Join me as I make way from Montreal to Paris via Casablanca following the 2022 Canadian F1 GP. I flew Royal Air Maroc, an airline I’d never even heard of. They’d also copped some pretty lousy reviews and I must admit the cheering and clapping from the economy cabin when we landed in Casablanca was totally unexpected.
So, was Royal Air Maroc airline as bad as people say? No! Sure it’s a long way off Qatar, Singapore and Emirates but it’s not the worst I’ve been on.

Flew out of YUL right after the race and it was a gongshow. 2 hours in the security line. Saw lots of the F1 teams, got a selfie with Binotto, and Gasly was on my Air France flight to Paris

Hey Kym! I was going to suggest you could have used the two-week interval to travel through Morroco - it is a somewhat exotic destination when compared to the more western standardized tourism you probably already have had a lot of. The prices are low and the culture is rich. I felt very secure and welcomed when I had a 9-day road trip around the country. The only trouble I had was regarding the language barrier, but luckily I was accompanied by a good friend and she had a fair enough level of french. Cheers. P.S. I found royal air Morroco to be very poor quality, but I was flying economy.

@@KymIllman Casablanca used to be an F1 venue Kym. The last Moroccan Grand Prix was held in 1958, it was won by Stirling Moss driving a Vanwall. Mike Hawthorn clinched the World Championship by finishing 2nd and announced his retirement, only to be killed in a road crash 3 months later. Vanwall driver Stuart Lewis-Evans died six days after the race from burns recieved in a crash on lap 42, one of FOUR drivers to die during that season. Drivers had balls of steel in those days!

Hi Kym, A Moroccan follower writing this comment 🙂 Just for the heads-up, Casablanca used to organize Grand prix in the 20´s and the 30´s. it organized also the Grand prix within F1 calendar in 1958, I think it worth to be mentioned. For the applauds while landing it is a Moroccan tradition ( I don´t know why they do that), they applaud the pilot for doing a safe landing LOL. For me, otherwise no one would be safe so it´s part of the job of the pilot to land safely. I hope one day you visit Morocco as part of WTCC calendar in Marrakesh or hopefully as part of a F1 round in the future. Cheers,

Hi Kym, you must do a lot of walking diring your travelling, around airports etc. . But how many miles do you walk on F1 Grand prix days say at Silverstone, do you have a fitbit or pedometer? I ask as I will be at Silverstone for 4 days taking photgraphs (hobby) and hope to get as large a variety of images and from as many locations as possible but I know this will involve a lot of walking, the circuit is huge.. I went in 2018 for just the Sunday and was exhausted after a couple hours, no idea how far I walked. I have a week to train my legs.

Hey Kym wondering with so much travel working with F1 do the drivers have there own privet planes or the teams provide them privet aircraft or does Max and Lewis just fly commercial. I imagine not all the drivers could or would fly privet but thought teams like Red Bull and Mercedes may flip for a privet jet.

@franky3654 2 года назад

max has his own private jet, he sometimes take ricciardo on it. lewis also has his own.

@MattNav 2 года назад

Ferrari are sponsored by Vistajet which is a private jet company so if you see any of those flying around (mainly to and from Nice) there's a good chance that either Charles or Carlos are on one of them

@ECris9 2 года назад

They fly both private and commercial. Max has his own private jet. Sometimes, other drivers fly with him (Daniel, Gasly etc.). I think Lewis used to have a private jet - not sure if he has one anymore. Charles flies private as well (he's sponsored by vistajet). Other team members fly private too, I believe (managers etc.). But it really depends. They also fly commercial.

@kizzn 2 года назад

Carlos and Charles use Vistajet private planes. Max owns his own plane, he took Lando and Pierre with him to Baku. And Lewis used to own his own, I believe, but not anymore

@vojtechnovacek7776 2 года назад

they usually have agreements with jet renting companies, Vistajet for Ferrari, FAI for McLaren etc. that the team travels with so some drivers get there with the team, the richer drivers might fly private

@bldGaming0 2 года назад

I had a flight from Nice to NY with a 3 hour layover in Casablanca with this airline. It was the worst flying experience I've had in my entire life by a huge mile. Late departure, missed connection, airline staff was not helpful in finding a replacement flight. I was actually quite the opposite - they were malicious. People all around the airport were instructed to forward all passengers who missed their connection to a specific person that never even existed! And that's only the tip of the iceberg. After all the shenanigans I swore to myself to never fly the airline and never in my life visit this country.

@KymIllman 2 года назад

@touriarbouardi8972 2 года назад

You definitely will not like Morocco if you can't handle taking a walk off the beaten path. They are charming and unique and very human. Most of them will survive without your visit, and if they catch a wiff of an attitude that smells like you think you are superior to them, you will miss out on their warm demeanor and get a cold shoulder.
