Cheap flights from Madrid to Casablanca make Morocco’s largest city an easy long weekend from Spain: round trips often start from $80–160, and the flight takes only about 1 hour 40 minutes across the Strait of Gibraltar. Run your dates on TopTravelCentre — on a short international hop like this, there’s rarely a reason to pay full fare.
How to find cheap flights from Madrid to Casablanca
- Book 3–6 weeks out. Short-haul fares here don’t reward booking months early, but they punish booking days ahead.
- Fly midweek. Tuesday–Thursday departures are usually the cheapest; Friday and Sunday carry the weekend premium.
- Check the direct option first. With a nonstop under two hours, a connection rarely makes sense unless it’s dramatically cheaper — sometimes routes via Lisbon or Barcelona price oddly low, so glance at them anyway.
- Travel hand-luggage only where possible. The lowest fares are basic economy; a checked bag can double the ticket price on this route.

Departure and arrival airports
Madrid Barajas (MAD): full-service carriers to Morocco depart from T4, low-cost carriers from T1 — confirm your terminal. Two hours before departure is enough for this non-Schengen short-haul.
Casablanca Mohammed V International Airport (CMN) is about 30 km south of the city. The airport train runs roughly every hour to Casa-Voyageurs station in about 35–45 minutes and is the best value transfer; taxis are available at the terminal but agree the price or insist on the meter before setting off. Keep your boarding pass handy — you’ll pass through passport control on arrival.
Cheapest time to fly
- November–February: the annual low season. Mild in Casablanca (rarely cold), quiet riads, and the year’s lowest fares.
- March–May: spring along the Atlantic corniche, prices climbing gently toward summer.
- June–August: Moroccan summer holidays and European visitors push fares and hotel prices up together.
- September–October: warm sea, fewer crowds, fair fares — one of the smartest windows.
- Watch Ramadan and Eid dates: travel patterns shift around them; fares can dip or spike depending on the direction and dates.
Money-saving tips
- Compare Ryanair’s total price. Its headline fare is often unbeatable, but add the bag, seat and any airport transfer before declaring a winner.
- Use Casablanca as your Moroccan gateway. Domestic trains and flights to Marrakech, Fez, Tangier and Agadir are cheap once you land — CMN is the practical front door to the whole country.
- Buy dirhams smartly. The Moroccan dirham is a closed currency: change a little at the airport, then withdraw in the city for better effective rates. Cards are accepted in Casablanca more than almost anywhere else in Morocco.
- Two one-ways can beat a round trip. Ryanair out, Royal Air Maroc back is a combination worth checking on this route.
- Go for the corniche, not just the Hassan II Mosque. Casablanca rewards an extra day — and a midweek flight makes that extra day cheap.
