Well....I disagree. As someone who travelled extensively in the past with small children on family holidays I can assure you that a direct flight from the country of origin is essential and will influence choice of destination.
Having to juggle two different flight bookings is time consuming and a real hassle.
In addition to that the system of baggage and allowances between different carriers is a nightmare. At the moment luggage allowances are approximately5 to 10kgs less than they used to be. Hand luggage allowances vary enormously not just from carrier to carrier but from airport to airport. Excess baggage charges are also variable as are maximum loads between different types of aircraft.
I have been in the position of travelling with one carrier who permitted my luggage for two months stay to travel with me free of charge only to then be charged almost 300 euros by the onward carrier for the second stage of the flight.
In addition having to handle luggage twice is a real problem for people like me with limited mobility. I imagine that golfers will also not be too happy at having to manhandle bulky clubs twice as well........
All in all I feel that many promises were made about direct flights being available and that flight times published on various agents websites and developers publicity are grossly misleading qouoting times of two or three hours flying time from London.......in fact it can take up to a whole day with a five hour changeover or overnight stay involved depending on route, time and availability.
The fact is that it is the Brits who are being disadvantaged by delays in development of property and hotels by up to two years which has had a knock on effect on flights and the delay of work on Oujda airport will add to that.
