Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Every so often, Jack Sheldon from Jack’s Flight Club selects a flight deal from the UK for Independent readers that you can’t afford to miss. This week: return flights to Morocco from £44.

If you’re looking for some winter sun, you can’t get much better than Morocco. We tend to see flights to this north African gem go on sale a couple of times a year with Ryanair, but now easyJet fares look particularly attractive with routes from Gatwick and Manchester, among others, including a large cabin bag in the fare. EasyJet also discounts fares an extra £5 to £10 return if you’re purchasing two or more tickets at once, so be sure to book together if travelling with a friend.

Ryanair’s route to Essaouira is also brand new, if you’re after somewhere less crowded.

How to book

Head to Google Flights and enter your departure airport from the list below, and your choice of Moroccan destination (listed below). On the easyJet routes, to see the lowest prices you’ll need to select two passengers travelling. The prices then shown will be the total for both. You may want to add a “non-stop” filter to the search, to help find the dates included in this deal.

Use Google Flights’ calendar tool to help you highlight the cheapest travel dates (they’ll show up in green).

This one is best booked directly with the airline and Google Flights will provide a link to book with easyJet or Ryanair.
