The nicest, most generous people I have met in all my years of traveling are the Moroccan people. I love this country.

I used Royal Air Maroc many times. It was decent and it has been improving over the years 👍 the country itself is tourist friendly. Enjoy it! The food is awesome.

Royal Air Maroc is way better than spirit and Americans airlines

It might be a little bit expensive, but trust me, the quality is amazing of this Royal Air Maroc 🇲🇦 underrated❤

Those views from the helicopter viewed in 4K 60fps, absolutely surreal. Great video as always.

There tends to be some confusion over the socks, or the quality of the socks. Those socks are meant to be worn over your socks if you choose to take your shoes off... Then if you happen to move about you'd like the provided socks over your personal socks. I think that makes sense. Cheers!

I have flown with RAM many times before, and I never seemed to have any complaints. I normally go to economy class. To be honest, I am surprised with the service/food they had given you. Normally they are extremely nice and friendly, and the food is great! I am going to Morocco in 2 days and I will be flying with RAM so hopefully nothing will go wrong.

18:30 The food they got you on The Royal Air Maroc isn't even Moroccan food, I'm Moroccan and I confirm

I love how Noel is always pleasant no matter the circumstances he gets in. My motto is always be kind no matter what. It’ll get you far!

RoyalAir Maroc is the best in Africa , and i am talking from my experience of many years travelling

You should definitely do a Norse Atlantic review. I flew them for the first time from JFK-LGW in Premium Economy. I thought it was a great experience for a low-cost carrier.

Flew on Royal Air Maroc a few times, always found them decent. Even flew on their 737 MAX 8 to Mauritania which I found to be surprisingly good

What you ve been served as dinner is not moroccan food, i think you choose a french meal from the menu 😅😅😅

:)) I’m always amazed how the flights you’re on Noel, always seem so stable and without turbulence…

I saw my economy class lounge called "starbucks"..

I like your videos! Morocco is also a beautiful country to be.

Nice to see RAM's hard product - thanks! I've used a different temperature/air quality cube for years and 20-25% is actually pretty common on 787s. On my tired old 767-400 last week it was actually only 11%!

Another great video Noel thanks. Very nice Dreamliner with a beautiful cabin. To bad the service was a little funky. Look forward to these every weekend ! Keep up the good work!

Service seemed poor on that first flight, as for the lounge, I think I’d have found a bar or had a look around the shops 😃 interesting to see how green Casablanca is !

Great report ! The views of Manhattan by helicopter are awesome ! I had a great experience with RAM myself but it was 20 years ago, aboard a 747 🙂

I once made a JFK-MAN flight in 5 hours 10 minutes. Estimated time to SFO the same night was a full hour longer! Those winter jet streams are something!

Flew Norse from Oslo to Orlando. It was not too bad. Paid to upgrade to their version of first class and it was 100% worth it. Smooth flight, nice crew, and the food is what you get for a low-cost carrier.

I am a long-time fan of your world videos. As one who can no longer travel extensively, except a few coast-to-coast trips across America each couple of years, I especially like watching your travels. The copter ride over NYC looks great! I am going to do it and thank you for the idea!

Your map is wrong. Western Sahara is Moroccan and part of Morocco . Cheers

I laughed at the loo review right after eating that sketchy fish lol!

I get the way cool factor of the helicopter and it would be quite an experience. That being said, when I travel between JFK and Manhattan I take public transportation. The Q10 Limited bus from JFK to Kew Gardens subway station, then the E express train. Total cost slightly over $2. Lol. Great video and adventure once again!

Great trip, thanks Noel! FYI, I flew Norse in October, JFK-LGW and OSL-JFK, and it was stunning value. I was in the premium cabin both ways. The Dreamliners are very new (ex Norwegian I think?) and the seats are absolutely enormous ... much closer to business class than premium in size (not flatbed but major recline nonetheless). I only paid about $700 rt inc baggage fees for the multi trip. Cheers!

my eyebrows reached my hairline when he ran off with your phone 😨😨

As an airline insider, I'd recommend trying premium classes' food off the airline base, not departing from a destination city... Maybe the same cabin out of Casablanca has better food. However, regardless of the product, this is not a business class service... quite shocking.

Oh yeah, certainly do a Norse review, thanks a lot! 👍

The detour via Spain to Tunisia is because Algeria has closed its borders with Morocco and they are also not allowed to fly over Algeria. Political things hence the diversion

This Video Is Very Well Filmed With Deep Clarity! Thank You For Making The Brave Trip Upon Air Moroc,I Certainly Would Not Have Done It!!!🍻🍻🍻

What makes me laugh about your reviews is you fly business class which actually doesn't reflect if any airline is good or bad and most normal people couldn't afford this type of ticket

Noel,. I have flown on Norse airways from fort Lauderdale to Oslo just before the summer came. I enjoyed the flight tremendously. You have to pay for everything that you want of course, since their lowest tickets only cost me about, $400 round trip. The only extras I paid for, was an assigned seat, and one overhead bag. The personal item my case with my laptop in tablet was free. On the return trip from Oslo to fort Lauderdale, no one was in the exit row. So I was able to grab seats there, after the plane reached altitude.

I flew RAM and it was fine. Any shortcomings were more than made up for by being able to fly nonstop.

I have flown with ram many times and the experience was quite good

Regarding escalator at the gate - there should be a lift or something, espiecally for those with physical disabilties or those a little in-firm on their feet. Generally taking any kind of luggage down an escalotor is discouraged

Thanks for the report May your have a better experience with RAM next time

Hi Noel. Love your videos. Since most of us fly economy. Would be nice to see more long haul economy reviews

I flew on Royal Air Maroc all around Morocco MANY years ago. I recall it not being so bad, actually.

RAM had years of bad management, only now joined One World and still have no good catering partners. As for the staff, they are already in a bad mood because Moroccans living in the US and Europe treat them badly. They did not realise that with good service you can forgive the rest and show expats it is them who have not moved on. I recommend coming back and fly RAM domestically, totally different atmosphere. Fly in with Ryan Air or something exotic perhaps to Marrakech, take a RAM to Oujda in the North or even more exciting, a flight to Dakhla, a Saharan port city next to Mauretania.

I will not fly with Royal Air Maroc again. Unfriendly crew , I agree with the disgusting food and lack of good service .Took the same flight .

Noel you absolutely should fly with Norde. If they have dreamliners and are set as low cost, I’d go on them 100%, also you should go to Lebanon or Egypt again

Thank you so much for the helicopter 🚁 tip and discount code Noel top man 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 I’d love to see you review Norse aswell 🎉

I always wondered what Royal Air Maroc was like. Now I know and don't think I'll bother. Such a shame as Africa air travel is really competitive. Thanks for sharing, Noel.

I really appreciate you including that chaos with the hotel driver and their reaction to it to complete the "full experience"

Any plans of trying Finnair's new non-reclining business class seat? It has very controversial reviews.

Northern Morocco is green, the south is desert, the same with many North African countries, including Tunisia. Morocco has some beautiful airports, you should have a look at Marrakech. The taxi drivers at Tunis airport are ruthless, the worst thing you can do is engage with them in any way unless you're telling them you will use their services ONLY if they use the meter! I had two of them fighting over me when I was there a few weeks ago, I almost had to physically separate them!

Flew on RAM plenty times. One of my favourite company. Decent price for the service

Absolutely love your content Noel. Great to see the total travel experience including check in and staff interactions. Thank you

Morocco is 1/3 green plains ( annually in tangier it rains more than in London ) , 1/3 mountain , 1/3 semi arid o desert . In Morocco, during the same day, you can wake up in the desert dunes, ski in the afternoon on the Atlas mountains and swim on the beach watching the sunset in the evening

Rolling the dice on eating fish on a plane. If Leslie Neilson taught us anything as Dr. Rumack in the movie Airplane, when provided the option between fish or beef, always choose the lasagna. That was a documentary right?

Flew RAM from Montreal Mirabel back in the late 90s. Similar situation transferring from Dorval to Mirabel but we did it by bus. Checkin was with Air France and a bit of a schmoz as we were in a group that was all over the aircraft, which was an MD11. Personal hygiene was an issue, and a few of us traded boarding passes to build a bit of an enclave. Flight stopped in at JFK en route, and we all had to exit the aircraft after an hour in the air. Arrival next morning was just as beautiful. Sunny morning and trees loaded with clementines. On the way home connecting from Agidir, we rebelled and got off at JFK, then transferred to an Air Canada flight from LaGuardia to Toronto. Saved us about 8 hours of travel time. Looks like food hasn't improved, and there were single serve bottles of wine. One kind only and when it was good it was good and when it wasn't it wasn't. Was a crap shoot. Look at the memories... glad we went. Thanks for sharing this trip, Noel.

Noel, The train from Newark to JFK is only 1 hour via subway. You take the AirTrain from JFK Airport to Jamaica stop to transfer to the subway to JFK. The helicopter was a nice ride but for an extra $200 plus your expensive flights was very costly. Those business seats seemed to close together. Service didn't seem 100% great. Hopefully, you're updated on all your vaccines. Africa requires tons for travel.

Royal Air Morocco really reminded you that we're all just peasants. It seems they didn't make up the lack of amenities and culinary esthetics with good service either. I would have been very depressed, because I can forgive a lot of there's great service.

When I was searching for flight from Chiago to Europe (with connections) I ran across some that were like this but decided that it was too much hassle (the layover times were like 3 hours but anyone who knows NYC knows that it might take you 1-2 hours just to get through traffic if you use a car of some sort (Uber/Taxi or you drive your own). Public transport may be a bit faster and probably the best option (as I think there are trains that go into NYC from the airport and then you can get another train to get to JFK -- not necessarily their metro but "regular" passenger trains like the Metra system in Chicago). 45 min even on a busy day at an airport to get through security isnt that bad. That being said, in most cases I can get through within 30 minutes on average, and I think the fastest through security was like 5 minutes but that was at a regional airport in Wyoming. But even my international flight to Switzerland 15 years ago I was through security and at the gate within 45 minutes of being dropped off. But this is why people should really arrive 3 hours before hand just in case. The loo review portion makes me think that perhaps people might want to start bringing their own shoe covers (the thing they wear in hospitals for example). Something disposable.

Would love you see you taking a trip on Norse - they're really opening up the transatlantic routes from a LLC point of view. Long may they fly!

Norse airlines are just a reboot for Norwegian airlines that stopped flying long haul a few years ago, they use the same planes with the same seats and even have the same upper management.

Hi im moroccan and i live in north eastern morocco

Definitely try out out Norse! I’m thinking about flying them soon and curious how they stack up.

would definitely like to see some economy trans Atlantic flights. Norse, Jet Blue, BA, United, Air Lingus

Baller...taking a helicopter from Newark to JFK, lol! J/k. Another great video!

I see Tunis airport hasn't changed at all. My wife on an Aussie passport had her passport taken and past around the airport as no one at immigration seemed to know what the tourist visa rules were (90 day visa exempt). The airport staff were just rude and continued to shout in Arabic. I ended up losing my temper and shouted back. Did the trick, they handed her passport back and waived her thru.

Nora Betty's stockings when you said that I laughed so much I sprayed my cuppa tea over the screen

Moroccan Airlines contracted an Indian company for catering and also for customer service in JFK. The food tastes terrible. I was not happy at all with this Indian company. In past years, Moroccan Airlines' food was actually very good and tasty. But, like everything nowadays, companies try to save money and end up sacrificing quality.

I am constantly amazed by airlines that forget that passengers have absolutely nothing to do on board except eat, sleep, and entertain themselves. Your food should be the best possible, not whatever you could get slopped together for a couple of quid. The on board entertainment should be memorable, not forgettable. Being comfortable enough (even in economy) to get some sleep is pretty key too. It's entirely shocking to see how RaM seems to get it wrong. Compared to many, their 787 cabin looks really nice. They have the "good" J class seating, and probably the prefered 1 2 1 arrangement. They should be awesome, but the food looks decidedly plain. Chalk that up to an airline nickel and diming it, I know the catering company that did the food out of JFK and they cana do make much better than that.

I agree. I traveled that route from JFK many times. Service in business class is disappointing. It sad that the seat is not bad. They could do better in the selection of TV shows. Also they just throw the food to you. They don’t set the table for you. I feel they rush everything. They can’t wait to turn the light off for everyone to sleep so they can be not bothered. Great video. Hope they see that and improve their service

Seems like you need the app lounge buddy, which I have used for years. Easy pop up on which lounges you have access for through Priority Pass, Business class, and other lounges you have purchased. Great video as always!

Definitely fly on Norse, Noel. We'd love to see it!

It would be great if you did a video on Norse Flight to Gatwick.

I think you should have scheduled a day or two to visit Casablanca and enjoy some Moroccan food, I agree with you that food on planes is what it is...looking forward seeing you visiting some Moroccan cities via 737-8 from Casablanca towards Dakhla south and enjoying fish and octopus dishes there...all in all, a good review of RAM and they still have more to do to be great.

If possible could you try La Compagnie, the french all business class airline sometime

Try flying Royal Air Maroc from Casablanca to Agadir..that’s a real treat

Would like to see you fly Norse Noel please. Great quality video. The views of NYC were amazing

Great reviews. Never went better class, but now will get upgrades whenever possible. Life is too short to worry about spending a bit more for a more comfortable long haul flight.

6:38 wow that business class looks stunning

Having flown the same flight to CMB then onto APG. The first flight was completely different then what happened on yours. The crew didn’t smile when we boarded but once we got airborne the crew was happy, all plastic wrap was off the food and it was excellent. The lounge was ok. Our flight to APG was on a 738, a very comfortable 1hr and 5 mins with dinner, again was excellent. Sorry you had an issues. Now, on our return trip we were in BA. Enough said.

I hope the airport at Tunis has improved since the 1980s when I passed through there. It was a big shed like construction then and smelt of sweaty bodies !

Great video would love to see the air quality on all the future flights

If you fly on Norse to Gatwick I'll happily meet you for a beer as I live 5 minutes from Gatwick

Do an Economy class review the airline’s economy is ahead of time honestly on a 787-9!

I paid 77 USD for a SUV limousine service back in 2016, from JFK to Central manhattan (near Columbia circle), which was a steal, when you think about what a taxi or an uber costs 😊 I'd definitely use that service again. However, 1h to transit between Newark and JFK in the NYC traffic (day or night, doesn't matter... Utterly impossible 😂🗽

That was an amazingly pretty young lady in the Turkish Airways lounge.

Only had bad experiences with this airline. Broken bags, drilled out tisa lock. They don’t fix or replace days, they don’t respond to emails. Refuse to help if you go to their office. Will avoid at all cost.

that’s a wrong title, it should be ( it’s not that bad is it?)

I hate when strangers just take my phone, I always have to wash my hands and sanitize my phone after😂🥴 People are so disgusting

our luggage was stolen from Royal Air Maroc in casablanka. please take attention they are not put luggages to aircraft. luggages stays in casablanka after some theys stolen

Whilst crying babies are annoying I don’t think other passengers should be allowed to demand they be moved. Tickets are paid for, seats chosen. Plus, in moving them, they become someone else’s problem.

Moroccan tagines ar wonderful as are the accompaniments, what a pity they didn't give you some of that. I can't eat seafood of any kind so that meal would have been no good for me.

That 787 looked fantastic, shame the service/staff didn't match it.

i ll always be amazed by how people when they land here, they say oh it is green, i thought it is gonna be desert hhhh

Love your work! You are a huge inspiration for my channel

Hi Noel. Yes, please do a review on Norse airline. I travel the States quite a bit and quite often the tickets are extortionate!

you were very calm Noel. Waiting .45 minutes for a hotel car.... I am not sure my toys would have stayed in the pram..

Hi Noel! Fan from NJ here! Hope you enjoyed your short time at EWR! It's not a great airport but it's our not great airport and we're proud of it! #NJStrong

may I throw in a general remark about how I appreciate you not telling us to "like and subscribe" in every single video? It's such a fresh change. Of course I liked and subscribed ...

An Iberia long haul flight would be cool

love the reviews, even though I have no plans to travel anywhere. Just wondering why you don't use a headphone set with integral microphone so you have your hands free to eat, etc.

Loved the views from the helicopter ride!
