Find cheap flights to Tangier
Tangier has direct flights from many European cities, including low-cost airlines. Prices change a lot depending on the season, so it pays to compare before you book.
Tips for cheaper flights:
- Be flexible with dates. Flying mid-week is often cheaper than weekends.
- Avoid peak periods like summer holidays and the end of Ramadan, when many families travel.
- Check nearby airports too. Sometimes flying into Tetouan or Rabat and taking the train or a taxi is cheaper.
- Watch the luggage fees. Low-cost tickets often don’t include a suitcase, so compare the full price.

Is travel insurance worth it?
Travel insurance can cover things like medical costs abroad, lost luggage, and trip cancellation if you get sick before leaving. It’s especially worth it if:
- you booked an expensive or non-refundable trip
- you travel with children or older family members
- your health insurance doesn’t cover you outside your country
Many booking sites offer insurance during checkout. Read what it covers before you pay, and compare it with a separate travel insurance policy.
Flight delay compensation: you may get up to €600
If your flight was delayed by 3 hours or more, cancelled, or overbooked, you may be entitled to compensation under European rules (EU 261). Many travelers never claim it because they don’t know about it.
When are you covered?
- Your flight departed from an EU airport, on any airline. Example: Brussels → Tangier.
- Your flight departed from Tangier to the EU on an EU airline. Example: a European low-cost airline flying Tangier → Madrid.
When are you usually NOT covered?
- A flight from Tangier to Europe on a non-EU airline (for example a Moroccan airline).
- Delays caused by “extraordinary circumstances” such as bad weather or strikes by airport staff.
How much can you get? It depends on the distance of the flight:
- Up to 1,500 km (for example Tangier–Madrid): €250
- 1,500 to 3,500 km (for example Tangier–Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam): €400
- Over 3,500 km: €600
Flights to and from the UK follow similar rules (UK 261), with amounts in pounds.
How to claim: you can contact the airline yourself, but airlines often reject or ignore claims. A claim company handles everything for you and only takes a fee if you win.
