Hello fellow travelers,
I would love advice on our travel plans -
We are flying into CDG Paris on a Sunday (lighter traffic?) in May - arrival from USA at 3:45 pm - we will have to go through customs and then get to a flight at BVA at 9:05 pm to Marrakesh -Morocco ( international so need to be there 2 hours in advance)
Will we make it? what will the cost be? I believe the best choice for timeliness will be a cab or direct shuttle.
We will also be arriving into Marrakesh at 11:30 pm -is this a bad idea?
otherwise we will need to overnight in a hotel near the airport which doesn't sound very exciting and will cost money as well of course - I haven"t booked the flight yet (and it is the dread Ryan air) . I appreciate any insight -
Best Regards, Lori

I don't know of a direct shuttle between the two airports. Taxi will cost around 100€ and will take however long it takes to go about 80 kilometers. On a totally different approach, have you considered flying from CDG to Marrakesh? I know that will cost more but sometimes ease is worth something. You would probably have to spend the night at CDG and would arrive in Marrakesh at around 10 AM. I have been to Marrakesh but I arrived at around 10 AM so I don't know if arriving at 11:30 PM would be a problem. I generally do not like arriving anywhere that I have not been to before late at night.

This may help on the CDG-BVA transfer

Seems booking an itinerary from your USA origin to Marrakesh would be a lot simpler.
We will also be arriving into Marrakesh at 11:30 pm -is this a bad idea?
No way I would do so

Is that what the airline recommends?
Your plan hinges on your arrival at CDG being on time. It wouldn't take much of a bump to upset your apple cart.

Any chance you going to the remote wilderness of Beauvais for a Ryan Air flight? If you have never experienced Michael O'Leary's best you would do well to read all their terms and conditions - very carefully. RyanAir offer cheap flights and make a huge proportion of their income from nickel and dime charges. Often the charges will be higher than the fare.....
EDIT: if I had read the entire question (isn't that what they tell you in school?) I would seen that yes you already said Ryan Air. doh. Anyway the advice stands.
