A United Airlines flight to Marrakesh made an unscheduled stop in Casablanca, creating quite a problem for passengers and crew onboard.
Just got finished UA’s inaugural flight EWR-CMN! Upon approach to RAK (actual destination) we circled a couple times and couldn’t land due to weather (poor visibility) so pilot rerouted us to land at CMN (all planes for the previous 2 hour did). There we sat on the tarmac…almost 7 hours. They wouldn’t let us get off. It sounded like the problem was more on the CMN side, the pilot was clearly frustrated. He said in 28 years of flying he never encountered something like this. They were trying to get fuel but no one was communicating and they were upset about the fact that UA has no presence at CMN unlike the other rerouted flights, and immigration stuff for passengers.
Finally:
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
