Royal Air Maroc (AT or RAM) Cheap Flights

Safar is the word for “travel” in Arabic (and the root of the word safari). The Safar Flyer program rewards your loyalty by letting you use the miles you’ve earned treat you to perks with Royal Air Maroc.

The number of miles you earn depends on your Safar Flyer status (Blue, Silver, Gold or Ambassador), your destination, whether you’re flying Business Class or Economy Class, as well as how much you paid for your ticket.

Joining costs nothing; all you need do is sign up. Make sure to let Royal Air Maroc know your Safar Flyer member number when you book your flight – but if you forget, or the miles earned seems wrong, you have six months from the flight to get your Safar Flyer miles corrected.

Once you’ve earned some miles, you can use them to pay for:

• Award tickets
• Upgrades from economy class to business class
• Fees for excess baggage
• Fees for changing paid tickets

Royal Air Maroc and Your Seat

Business class seats range from a seat pitch of 40 inches to a luxurious 70 inches. Seat pitch is the distance between a point on one seat to the same point on the seat before or behind it. More seat pitch means more leg room, but the thickness of the seat also impacts the space available for your legs.

If you book online you can usually reserve your preferred seat in advance, although this is not possible for some reservation classes.
