Los Angeles is about to get a lot closer to Africa, in a manner of speaking.
Royal Air Maroc plans to launch service from Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) in Casablanca, Morocco, to Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) starting in June. It will be LAX's only nonstop passenger service to Africa.
The flight will operate three times per week — Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays — starting June 7. LAX-bound flights depart CMN at 4 a.m. and arrive at 8:20 a.m., while eastbound service departs LAX at 10:20am and arrives the next day at 5:25 a.m. (all times local). The airline plans to use a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner for the route, which features 274 seats including 18 in business class.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on The Points Guy Articles.
