How do I find out if my flight to Morocco is delayed or cancelled?
When you're preparing for a flight to Morocco, it's always a good idea to keep an eye on your flight status, especially on the day of your flight. To check if your flight to Morocco is delayed or cancelled, you can visit the website of the airline you're flying with or use flight tracking apps. You can also sign up for flight alerts to get notifications via email or text message.
How much compensation can I get for a delayed or cancelled Morocco flight?
You can only receive compensation if your flight originated in Europe and/or was offered by a European airline because Morocco is not a part of Europe. You are only entitled to compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight if your flight was more than 3 hours delayed upon arrival or if the Morocco flight was cancelled less than 14 days prior to departure. It's crucial to keep in mind that the airline is responsible for the disrupted flight as well.
How much compensation you may receive for a delayed or cancelled flight to Morocco depends on the distance of your flight, with longer flights being eligible for higher compensation amounts.
Read below for more information:
| Distance of your flight | Compensation |
|---|---|
| Flights shorter than 1,500 km | Get £220 per passenger |
| Flight between 1,500 and 3,500 km | Get £350 per passenger |
| Flights of over 1,500 kilometres within the EU | Get £350 per passenger |
| Flights of over 3,500 kilometres outside of the EU | Get £520 per passenger |
Always keep in mind that if your flight is delayed or cancelled, the airline is legally obligated to offer you extra help. This includes vouchers for food and drink, transportation, and, if necessary, lodging. The vouchers can be redeemed at the airline's service desk in the airport. If the airline doesn't provide you vouchers, you can still make the necessary purchases and save the receipts; they have to provide you a refund.

Ask for the refund of your flight from Morocco
If your Morocco flight is cancelled, you are also entitled to a full ticket refund. This is separate from the compensation. When a flight is cancelled and an airline is at fault and obligated to pay compensation to the affected passengers, the passengers are given Morocco flight compensation. However, the refund is available to any passenger who ultimately chooses against booking a flight with the airline. If your flight to Morocco has been cancelled, airlines are required to offer you the choice of a full refund or an alternative flight to your destination.
You are eligible for a full ticket refund only if:
The airline did not offer you an alternative flight.
You were offered an alternative flight but chose to reject it.

Were you offered a voucher for your cancelled flight to Morocco? Here’s what you should do.
In case your flight to Morocco has been cancelled, the airline may offer you a voucher for future travel instead of a refund. While this option may seem convenient, there are some things to consider before accepting it.
Vouchers often come with restrictions and expiration dates, which may limit your travel plans.
If you accept a voucher, you may lose your right to claim compensation for the cancelled flight.
If the airline goes bankrupt, it will be difficult for you to receive the money back.
Based on the reasons listed above, we recommend you to not accept the voucher provided by the airline.

Extraordinary circumstances disrupted my Morocco flight — can the airline really deny my claim?
Sometimes, flights can be delayed or cancelled due to extraordinary circumstances, which are situations beyond the control of the airline. In such cases, airlines are not required to pay compensation for flight disruptions. However, it's important to note that airlines must prove that the circumstances were truly extraordinary and not just a result of their own negligence.
Here are some examples of extraordinary circumstances:
Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.
A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).
However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!
Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.
Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.
A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.
An ill or unruly passenger.
Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.
How long can I claim for my delayed or cancelled flight from Morocco?
The time limit for making a claim for a delayed or cancelled flight to Morocco depends on the laws of the country where the flight originated, arrived, or where the airline is based.
For instance, in the UK, the statute of limitations for flight compensation claims is 6 years. This means that passengers can claim compensation for a delayed or cancelled flight up to 6 years after the date of the disrupted flight.
If your itinerary or flight carrier is a European country, the time limit typically ranges from 1 to 3 years.
