Best product each one flies
Scored on what can be verified. Service, food and ground recovery are absent deliberately: they need someone in the seat, and they live in the reviews rather than here.
One caveat on the Value line, stated rather than buried: Value is computed from business fares, and a carrier with too few of them does not get a Value score at all. Where you see a dash, we have fewer than three priced business routes for that airline and did not want to invent a figure from one or two — so its product score is the mean of three dimensions rather than four, and it is not directly comparable to a score built on hundreds of fares. The airlines with the most fares behind them are named on the business-class ranking.

Where both were priced on the same dates
Every fare is November 8–14, 2026, so a difference between two rows is a difference between two airlines and nothing else. These are economy fares, while the cabin scores above describe the business product — read them as how each airline prices against its competitors, not as what its business seat costs.

Royal Air Maroc: The 787-8 carries an older, denser cabin where window passengers climb past a neighbour. Its seat specification was not established well enough to record, so it is flagged here rather than scored.
Turkish Airlines: The cabin the retrofit is replacing, on the aircraft Turkish flies most from the US.
Common questions

- Royal Air Maroc scores 9/10 against Turkish Airlines at 8.8/10 on seat, screens, lounge and fare. On the four dimensions we can verify, Royal Air Maroc wins 1 and Turkish Airlines wins 0. Service and food are not scored here because they cannot be read off a spec sheet.
- Which is cheaper, Royal Air Maroc or Turkish Airlines?
- On the 43 routes where both were priced for the same week (November 8–14, 2026), Royal Air Maroc was cheaper on 34 and Turkish Airlines on 9. Every pair of fares is the same departure and return date in the same cabin, so the difference is the airline rather than the dates or the cabin.
- Does the aircraft change the answer?
- Yes. Turkish Airlines scores 8/10 on the 787-9 / A350-900 and 5/10 on the 777-300ER (legacy). Check the equipment on your date before deciding.
