Greetings from Marrakech, Morocco, where Delta Air Lines just touched down for the first time in history.
Flight 186 departed from Delta's hub at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) and landed at Marrakech Menara Airport (RAK) as the airline's first nonstop flight to North Africa in over 14 years. Delta flew to Cairo from 2008-2011.
Delta already has a significant presence in Africa with flights to Accra in Ghana (from both New York and, soon, seasonally, from Atlanta); Cape Town and Johannesburg in South Africa (via Atlanta); Dakar, Senegal (from New York); and Lagos in Nigeria (from both Atlanta and New York).
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
