Thanks for the replies.
ATC into Cassablanca was fine. The descent was given in good time.We were initially vectored then told to either self position for the ILS of take a visual, what ever we wanted. We took the visual. And they were good on the ground too. It is a very busy airport but it all worked out. We used Stars Aviation services. They were great, better than some European handlers. A good VIP lounge. Kamal is the main man, exellent english and he sorted us out perfectly when we had a sudden change of plans as is the clients want. We fuelled straight away on arrival as we were told that mornings were a nightmare. Handling bill was high but they sorted out a hotac and transfers. We stayed at the Maridian. It was in the centre next to the madina but we werent that impressed with the area. I'd recommend staying on the Boulevard sidi Mohammed as there are a lot more bars and cafes there. But of course you have to have a beer at Ricks Bar otherwise you haven't been to Cassablanca.
