Royal Air Maroc in-cabin pet policy — and the carriers that fit
Royal Air Maroc allows small pets in the cabin in a carrier up to 21.7 × 15.7 × 7.9 in, stowed under the seat in front of you. Already own a carrier? Enter its measurements below to check it against this limit. In-cabin fee: Domestic flights 290 MAD. 0 of the 15 carriers we track clear that published limit.
That means no carrier on our list clears it outright — the closest is the Sherpa Original Deluxe (Small) (flexes — check height), with 5 others in the same range. Measure yours and expect an agent to check it. Royal Air Maroc's 7.9" height ceiling sits mid-pack among the 58 airlines we track (shared with Finnair, Norwegian): Aegean, Air Canada, Air France and Air Transat allow more, while EL AL Israel allows only 7".

How to confirm your actual under-seat space
Royal Air Maroc's number is a fleet-wide recommendation, not a promise for your exact seat. Before you buy or fly:
- Check which aircraft operates your flight (in your booking or on a seat-map site).
- Avoid bulkhead and some window seats — they have less (or no) under-seat storage.
- Call Royal Air Maroc to confirm under-seat dimensions for that aircraft, or
- Choose a collapsible / flexible-height carrier that adapts to a tighter space.
