Just had a nice mini break in Marrakech courtesy of easyJet holidays.
Having been there a few times for work I was expecting long delays at immigration. Nope, all good. Processed quite quickly and they didn't want to see the printed out form we were told to have.
However, don't put your passport away, an officer wanted to see the stamp before we were allowed to leave the terminal. Also, bags got screened as well before we could leave.
Leaving Marrakech? We were hand luggage only but we still needed our boarding pass validated at the check in desk. Oh and the usual screen bags before entering the main hall.
Long queue for security screening, long queue for immigration and another queue to make sure we had gotten another stamp. We had.
Finally, a pat down and explosives check whilst waiting at the gate.
We'd also had a great holiday in the Maldives. Super quick processing inbound which was great.
However, departure was a different matter. Enormous queues just to get in the Terminal, once again, bags were screened. Fortunately, biz class and BA Gold = shorter queues.
Significant delays in getting through immigration and security screening. Anything less than 90 minutes to departure, you'll miss your flight. After getting to the gate, another security check.
Fortunately, we had 2.5 hours so we were ok and didn't need to panic.
There's a new Terminal being built which will hopefully alleviate a lot of the choke points.
