Marrakech Airport › Departures
The departures board for Marrakech Airport lists destination, airline, scheduled time and status for every flight of the day.
Almost all departures from Marrakech Airport are international, so every passenger passes passport control after security; allow three hours before the flight.
Flight data is supplied by a third party and may differ from the official displays in the terminal.
The board for Marrakech Airport uses a handful of status messages: scheduled means no change, expected or estimated gives the updated time, landed appears when the aircraft touches down, and delayed marks a later time than planned. After landing, passengers need a good while longer to reach the arrivals exit, because passport control comes first and the bags follow.
One flight can appear under two numbers when airlines sell seats on each other's services. If you cannot find a flight number on the board for Marrakech Airport, search by the origin or destination and the scheduled time instead. Morocco's clock time can differ from UK time by an hour for part of the year, so read the times on the board as local time in Marrakech.
Airlines generally advise being at Marrakech Airport three hours before departure; security and passport control are the slow points, especially at the end of school holidays.
Spend or change back your dirhams before passport control where you can: the dirham is a closed currency that is hard to exchange outside Morocco.
Liquids over 100 ml, including argan oil, belong in hold baggage or are bought in the shops after security.
A taxi from the medina to Marrakech Airport is best ordered through your riad the evening before, because cars cannot reach the door.
Returning a hire car before the flight adds time at Marrakech Airport: allow about half an hour more than for a taxi drop-off, and longer if the company works with a shuttle.
