Where your plans allow, moving your outbound to a cheaper weekday can noticeably lower the total fare.

What is the cheapest time of day to fly to Accra?

Flights to Accra are generally cheapest departing in the morning, with fares from around £620. Departures in midday tend to cost more (about £1228), as those slots are more convenient and in higher demand.

Can I save money by flying with a stopover to Accra?

Yes — for Accra you can often save by taking a stopover: 1-stop fares start from around £620, compared with about £1228 to fly direct. The trade-off is a longer total journey with a connection, so weigh the saving against the extra travel time. If budget matters more to you than speed, a 1-stop option is worth considering.

About flights to Accra

Overview

Accra, Ghana's lively coastal capital, blends bustling markets, Atlantic beaches and warm West African hospitality. It is the country's main gateway and a favourite for UK travellers visiting family, doing business or exploring Ghana — served by the modern Kotoka International Airport (ACC). Whether it's your first trip or a regular journey home, comparing fares in one place makes finding the right flight to Accra quick and simple.

Best time to fly to Accra

Accra is warm all year round. The driest, most comfortable months run from November to March, while the wetter season peaks around June. Fares are usually cheapest outside the busy December holiday period, so travelling either side of it stretches your budget further.

Airlines and routes

British Airways flies direct from London Heathrow to Accra in around six and a half hours. For connecting options — often better value — Royal Air Maroc (via Casablanca), Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul), KLM (via Amsterdam), Brussels Airlines and Ethiopian Airlines all serve Accra from the UK. Comparing carriers for your exact dates is the surest way to secure the lowest fare.

Things to do in Accra

Accra rewards curious travellers with history, culture and coastline all within easy reach:

Independence Square: one of the largest public squares in Africa and a symbol of Ghana's independence.
Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park: a tranquil park and mausoleum honouring Ghana's first president.
Makola Market: the vibrant heart of Accra's trade, full of colourful fabrics, produce and crafts.
Labadi Beach: the city's most popular stretch of golden sand, lively with music and local food.
National Museum of Ghana: a rich collection tracing the country's heritage and art.

At Kotoka International Airport (ACC)

Kotoka is a modern airport about 10 km from central Accra, with duty-free shopping, currency exchange, ATMs and food outlets. Taxis and ride-hailing apps are the easiest way into the city, and there are plenty of hotels a short drive from the terminal.

Top tips for finding cheap flights to Accra

Book roughly 4–8 weeks ahead — last-minute fares to Accra are usually higher.
Avoid the December peak; travelling in the shoulder weeks brings noticeably lower prices.
Be flexible with your dates — midweek departures are often cheaper than weekends.
Compare direct and one-stop options; a short connection can save a good deal.

Travel essentials

Most UK travellers need a visa for Ghana — apply through the Ghana High Commission before you fly.
A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required to enter Ghana.
The local currency is the Ghanaian cedi (GHS).

Baggage

Baggage & hand-luggage allowance for flights to Accra

Your allowance to Accra depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.

Typical hand and checked baggage allowance by fare type for flights to Accra.
Fare type	Hand baggage	Checked baggage
Basic / Light economy	1 small under-seat bag	Usually none — add for a fee
Standard economy	1 cabin bag + 1 personal item	Typically 1 × 23 kg
Premium economy	1–2 cabin bags + personal item	Typically 2 × 23 kg
Business / First	2 cabin bags + personal item	Typically 2 × 32 kg

Indicative only. Allowances vary by airline, route and fare — always check your airline's baggage policy.

Packing & baggage tips

Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
