If you’re considering a trip to Morocco this fall or next year and wish to travel in business class, you’re in luck. We’ve found huge swathes of award space available using your Alaska Airlines miles, to fly on Royal Air Maroc. While it’s not the best business class seat around, you’ll need to redeem just 45,000 miles for a ticket to Africa. You can’t beat that!

Let’s take a look at the deal and some of the best ways to book these tickets!

Award Alert — Details

These awards are available through Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan and American Airlines AAdvantage and are operated by Royal Air Maroc, Morocco’s flagship carrier. This award deal involves Royal Air Maroc’s business class offering on its Boeing 787-8 and 787-9. While it won’t win any awards, it’s a lie-flat seat that will comfortably get you to Morocco with no stops in between.

  • Class: Business
  • Routes: Montreal (YUL), Toronto (YYZ), New York (JFK), Washington, D.C. (IAD), Miami (MIA) to Casablanca (CMN)
  • Dates: November 2024 to September 2025
  • Rates: As low as 45,000 miles one-way

Currently, there’s only 1 seat available per flight in business class on certain dates, and that’s worth noting as you look for awards if you need multiple seats. However, since these deals are for multiple flights per day, you can end up booking separate flights on the same day and rejoin each other in Morocco.

The lowest rates are available from Montreal (YUL) using Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles, with taxes and surcharges of just over $300 per person.

To search for available dates, you can use a tool like Seats.aero, which provides a big-picture overview, but Alaska Airlines’ own award calendar feature is also easy to use. Just look at all that availability out of Montreal!

If you fly from the U.S., such as Washington, D.C. (IAD) or Miami (MIA), you’ll pay just 10,000 more miles and slightly less in fees.

Best Ways To Book

This award deal is available with either American AAdvantage or Alaska Mileage Plan miles.

Earning AAdvantage miles is pretty easy, thanks to its online shopping portal, AAdvantage Dining, using Simply Miles, co-branded credit cards, and transfers from Marriott Bonvoy.

If you need to earn Alaska Airlines miles, consider options like Mileage Plan Dining, co-branded credit cards, and transfers from Marriott Bonvoy and Bilt Rewards.

Final Thoughts

This is a great business-class deal for a trip from the U.S. to Morocco, and it will be more comfortable than flying economy on a long flight across the Atlantic. This kind of deal doesn’t last long, so book quickly before it’s gone for good!
