It's the summer of 1984 and after three wonderful weeks vacationing on the Greek islands of Santorini and Mykonos, it's time to return to your home on New York's Long Island. Your original plan was to fly directly from Athens to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, but when your travel agent advised you that for just $350 more, you could fly home in First Class aboard Morocco's state run carrier, Royal Air Maroc, your interest was piqued.

"Royal Air Maroc? Do they have jets yet?"
"Yes, of course! You'll fly aboard a 727-200 from Athens to Casablanca, then connect to a 747-200 for the trans-Atlantic leg to New York."
"Right. Let's do it then!"


And, as things turned out, Royal Air Maroc provided a very nice service aboard your two flights. Although its First Class catering was not quite so elaborate as one might expect aboard the established carriers from Central Europe, the seats were comfortable and the food was delicious. Following are the two menus from these flights...
