Select you dates of travel on travel airfare consolidator websites. If you wish to save money, try using flexible days of travel with the spread between Tuesday through Thursday. Los Angeles International, San Francisco International and San Diego International are the most direct airports, with connections typically between New York, or through a European city directly (Paris, Madrid and Lyon are among the more popular European hub cities for Moroccan travel).
Plan on between 14 to 24 hours of travel time with the various airport stops. Bring your passport. In most instances, the airlines let you check your luggage through to your Moroccan destination, provided you travel with no layover stops where you leave the airport.
Check your passport to ensure it has a minimum of 90 days left to the expiring date. Morocco will not allow entry into the country if there is less than 90 days left on the document. As a good rule of thumb, do not travel without six months left on the passport. Check you have at least two blank available pages in your passport as Moroccan customs stamps the needed travel stamps and prefer blank pages to blank square spaces.
Change some U.S. currency at a currency exchange in the California airport prior to leaving. The currency in Morocco is the Moroccan dirham, and is approximately exchanged at 0.13 cents to a dirham. A general rule is to travel into the country with a dirham value of $100. ATMs are available but are not always reliable. Be prepared for taxi fare or any unforeseen charges with some currency prior to arrival in Morocco.
