More cheap flights to Morocco.

The View from Fez office has been closed for a few days due to renovation dramas - however we have not had our eyes and ears closed.

We can report that we have been taste-testing the cheap airfares to and from Morocco. Firstly we did the Marrakech to Bordeaux route and can say that Atlas Blue gets five stars for service, punctuality and (even) in flight catering. All top marks.

Over the next few weeks we will fly, Ryan Air and Easyjet and will report back. In the meantime, GB Airways, a franchise partner of British Airways, has announced a major boost to flight frequency on its routes from London to Morocco.

The airline has said it will increase its service from London to Marrakech, with the introduction of two flights a day from Heathrow, in addition to a daily service from Gatwick.

Heathrow will also be home to a twice-weekly service to the imperial city of Fez, complementing the existing daily flights to Casablanca.

The flights form part of GB Airways's winter schedule. One-way flights from Gatwick to Marrakech start at £49, including all taxes, fees and charges.

Managing director Kevin Hatton said: "With a total of 32 weekly flights to Morocco, passengers can now travel at their convenience to some of the most popular short-haul winter sun destinations."
