London to Marrakech is about three hours forty, direct. London to Delhi is around eight and a half. If half your guest list is in the UK and Europe, choosing Marrakech over an Indian venue removes roughly five hours from each of their journeys, twice.
The numbers
London to Marrakech, three hours forty, direct, several daily.
Dubai to Marrakech, about seven and a half hours, direct on some days and one stop on others.
Mumbai and Delhi to Marrakech, one stop, eleven to sixteen hours in total depending on connection.
For comparison: London to Udaipur is a connection and a domestic leg, typically twelve to fifteen hours door to door.
Why it decides things
Elderly guests. A four hour flight is a day trip. A fifteen hour journey with a connection is something a lot of grandparents will decline, and the guest list you imagined is not the one that comes.
Attendance. Shorter journeys mean higher acceptance, particularly from guests who have to take leave. Families consistently see better turnout from their European side when the wedding is in Morocco rather than India.
Cost to the guest. A shorter flight is a cheaper flight, and for a wedding where three hundred people are paying their own airfare, that is a courtesy that shows up in the RSVP rate.
- How long is the flight from London to Marrakech?
- About three hours forty minutes, direct, with several flights daily. That compares with roughly eight and a half hours to Delhi, which is why families with a large UK contingent often find Morocco cuts the journey for the majority of their guest list.
