My best friend has a plan. Once the last kid crosses the graduation stage, she and I are getting on a plane to Morocco. We have been talking about this trip for years. It lives in that sacred category of "someday" travel — the kind you promise yourself when real life finally gets out of the way.
Well. Real life is still very much in the way.
But this deal just landed in my inbox, and I sent it to her immediately with zero context and three exclamation points.
Right now, you can fly from Washington D.C. to Casablanca, Morocco in lie-flat business class on Royal Air Maroc for as few as 40,000 points one-way. Non-stop. On a Boeing 787. For a cash price that would run you $3,500.
That is not a typo.

Why this deal is worth getting excited about
The cash value on this flight is $3,500. If you book through British Airways Avios at 68,500 points, your points are worth 4.37 cents each.
That is what we here at Daily Drop call epic value.
Most people are thrilled to get 1.5 cents per point. Getting 4 cents is the kind of thing that makes seasoned travelers stop scrolling.
The best part for Chase cardholders: Chase Ultimate Rewards transfers 1:1 to British Airways Avios. So if you have been quietly accumulating points on your Chase Sapphire Preferred® Card or Chase Sapphire Reserve®, this is exactly the kind of redemption those points were built for. Transfer, book, done.
Not a Chase person? British Airways Avios also accepts transfers from:
American Express Membership Rewards
Capital One
Citi ThankYou Points
Bilt Rewards
Wells Fargo Rewards
There is genuinely no excuse not to have the currency to book this.
Where to stay in Casablanca
Flights are just the beginning. Here are some hotel options worth knowing about, from splurge to smart:
The Hyatt Regency Casablanca comes in at 48,000 World of Hyatt points for 4 nights, which is a strong use of points if you have them. Chase Ultimate Rewards transfers to Hyatt at 1:1 as well, so you could theoretically cover both your flight and your hotel with the same points currency. That is the Chase ecosystem working exactly as intended.
Mid-range, the Mövenpick Casablanca is just 21,696 Accor points for 4 nights. And if budget is the priority, the ibis Casablanca City Center comes in at 8,256 points for 4 nights. Options for everyone.
How to book
Find the fare through Daily Drop Pro. Book through British Airways by transferring points from any of the programs listed above to British Airways Avios, then searching the Avios award calendar for your dates.
Pro Tip
You do not have to have all 68,500 Avios sitting in one place. Chase, Amex, Capital One, Citi, Bilt, and Wells Fargo all transfer to British Airways at 1:1. If you have been spreading your spending across a couple of cards, this is the moment those points work together. Add them up before you decide you can't afford this trip. You might surprise yourself. 🛋️
