Choosing your flight

From France

Price range: 150/400 €.

Flight duration (direct): from 2h30 to 3h00.

Options are quite limited for those wanting to fly directly to Tangier from France. Unless you have a direct flight, you’ll need to make connections or consider arriving at another Moroccan airport—or even Málaga in Spain. Generally, low-cost airlines often offer good deals for this destination.

From elsewhere

While there are options from Belgium, flights from other locations will most often require a connection or arrival at a different airport.
