## Is Royal Air Maroc Business Class worth it in 2026?

Royal Air Maroc Business Class depends on the aircraft. The 787-9 has a fully flat 1-2-1 seat with direct aisle access; the 787-8 has a flat 2-2-2 cabin where window passengers step over a neighbor. RAM flies non-stop to Casablanca from New York JFK, Washington Dulles, Miami and, since June 2026, Los Angeles, and as a oneworld member it is bookable with American AAdvantage.

- 787-9: fully flat 1-2-1, direct aisle access
- 787-8: fully flat 2-2-2, no direct aisle access from windows
- Casablanca non-stops from JFK, IAD, MIA and LAX (since June 2026)
- Oneworld; earn and redeem with American AAdvantage

## The 60-second verdict

- **The gateway to Morocco and Africa.** (strength): Royal Air Maroc flies non-stop to Casablanca from New York JFK, Washington Dulles, Miami and Los Angeles, with onward connections to Marrakech, Fez and across West and North Africa.
- **A good seat on the 787-9.** (strength): The 787-9 has fully flat 1-2-1 reverse-herringbone Business seats with direct aisle access, in either a 26-seat cabin or a 16-seat cabin with Premium Economy behind it.
- **Oneworld access.** (strength): American AAdvantage members earn and redeem on RAM flights, and American codeshares on some of them.
- **The 787-8 is 2-2-2.** (mixed): The 787-8, used on Los Angeles and Miami and on some New York and Washington flights, has 18 flat seats in a 2-2-2 layout, so window passengers step over a neighbor. We confirm the aircraft on every quote.
- **No doors and no internet.** (mixed): No RAM Business seat has a privacy door, and its 787s do not offer internet Wi-Fi.

## Business by aircraft

Royal Air Maroc's 787-9s have fully flat 1-2-1 reverse-herringbone Business seats with direct aisle access, about 21 inches wide with an 80-inch bed; one version has 26 seats and a newer one has 16 plus a Premium Economy cabin.

The 787-8s have 18 Business seats in a 2-2-2 layout. They are fully flat, but the paired seats sit at slightly different heights and window passengers have no direct aisle access.

## US network

RAM flies non-stop to Casablanca from New York JFK (about seven hours eastbound), Washington Dulles and Miami, and launched Los Angeles three times a week in June 2026 on the 787-8, about 11 hours to Casablanca. Casablanca connects onward to Marrakech, Fez, Tangier and much of Africa.

## Lounge and miles

Business passengers use the Zenith lounge in Casablanca Terminal 1, a two-level lounge with showers and a bar. RAM's program is Safar Flyer, and as a oneworld member since 2020 it earns and redeems with American AAdvantage and British Airways Avios.
