Swiss is selling flights from Geneva to Marrakesh in Morocco for only CHF 100 (~€103) this winter. The flights are nonstop but do not include luggage. Should you book the Classic fare, you’d have to pay roughly CHF 160 (~€165).
The only downside of this deal is Swiss’ rebooking policy. The airline offers no refunds for this fare. While the rebooking fee may be waived, you still have to pay the price difference if you change travel dates.
Our calendar displays all available dates for trips of 7 to 28 days.
Swiss uses an Airbus A220 for this route. The flight is roughly 3 hours long.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Climate
Mileage
The tickets are issued in booking class K, meaning that you can expect to receive:
- 756 Miles on ANA Mileage Club
- 630 Award Miles + 126 PQP on United MileagePlus
- 630 Points on SAS EuroBonus
- 630 Miles on Turkish Airlines Miles&Smiles
- 630 Miles on Ethiopian ShebaMiles
- 630 Miles on Egyptair Plus
- 198 Award Miles + 40 Points on Miles&More
As you can see, the number of miles that you’ll get is laughable.
