Flights to Accra from London, Manchester and Birmingham

Travellers can reach Accra from several major UK airports. London offers nonstop options, while Manchester, Birmingham and other regional airports are generally served by connecting flights.

London

Direct Flights from London to Accra

London is a convenient departure point for travellers who want to minimise flight time. British Airways operates nonstop flights between London and Accra, with services associated with Heathrow and Gatwick depending on the operating schedule. A direct flight generally takes approximately 6 hours 35 minutes to 7 hours, making it particularly suitable for families travelling with children, passengers who prefer to avoid airport connections, business travellers with limited time, travellers visiting Ghana for the first time, and passengers carrying additional luggage, subject to airline allowances.

Direct flights may cost more than some connecting itineraries, but they can save several hours of travel. Flight availability and departure terminals should always be confirmed for your selected date.

Manchester

Flights from Manchester to Accra

Looking for Manchester to Accra flights? Travellers departing from Manchester Airport can usually reach Accra with one connection. Common connecting routes may include KLM via Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, Turkish Airlines via Istanbul Airport, and Brussels Airlines via Brussels Airport.

The total journey time varies depending on the airline and connection. Some itineraries may take approximately 9–12 hours, while others involve longer stopovers. Before choosing a connecting flight, check whether your baggage will be transferred automatically and whether both flights are included in one ticket. Travel Campus UK can help you compare Manchester departures according to price, connection time, and arrival schedule.

Birmingham

Flights from Birmingham to Accra

Travellers looking for Birmingham to Accra flights can compare connecting services through international airline hubs. A connecting flight may be convenient if you live in Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton or nearby areas and prefer not to travel to London before flying.

Birmingham itineraries can involve a longer total journey than nonstop London flights, so it is worth comparing both departure options.

When comparing flights from Birmingham, consider:

  • Total journey duration.
  • Stopover location and waiting time.
  • Checked baggage allowance.
  • Airport transfer requirements.
  • Arrival time in Accra.
  • Ticket change and cancellation conditions.

Direct vs Connecting Flights: Which Is Better?

A direct flight is usually the simplest choice if convenience and journey time are your main priorities. Connecting flights may offer alternative departure airports, travel times or ticket prices.

Consider a direct flight if you:

  • Want to avoid changing aircraft.
  • Are travelling with young children or older relatives.
  • Have limited time for your trip.
  • Prefer a simpler travel itinerary.

Consider a connecting flight if you:

  • Want to explore more fare options.
  • Are departing from Manchester or Birmingham.
  • Have flexible travel dates.
  • Don't mind spending additional time in transit.

The best choice depends on the total cost and convenience of the complete journey, not simply the advertised ticket price.

Best Time to Book Cheap Flights to Accra

Accra is a year-round destination, with warm weather, cultural events, and plenty of reasons to visit throughout the year. Demand for flights can change significantly between seasons — here is what to expect when you compare fares.

  • November to March

    Dry season & festive travel

    Accra generally experiences drier conditions during these months. December is especially busy because of Christmas, New Year celebrations, and Ghana's festive events, commonly associated with Detty December. If you're planning to travel in December, start comparing fares well in advance.

  • April to June

    Main rainy season

    Rainfall generally increases during this period, particularly in May and June. Travellers with flexible schedules may find opportunities to compare fares outside the busiest holiday dates.

  • July to October

    Summer holidays & events

    The UK summer holiday period can increase demand for flights to Ghana. Accra also hosts cultural activities including the Chale Wote Street Art Festival, traditionally associated with August. If you're travelling for a particular event, confirm its official dates before purchasing tickets.

Accra International Airport: What UK Travellers Should Know?

Flights to Accra arrive at Ghana's main international airport, code ACC. In February 2026, Ghana's government announced that Kotoka International Airport would return to its former name, Accra International Airport. You may still encounter the name Kotoka International Airport on some travel websites, older documents, or airport information. Both names refer to the same airport, and the IATA airport code remains ACC.

Which Terminal Will You Arrive At?

Terminal 3 is the principal terminal for international passenger services at Accra. However, terminal arrangements can change, so check your airline confirmation and airport instructions before travelling.

Getting from Accra Airport to the City

Accra International Airport is conveniently located for reaching major parts of Ghana's capital. Popular areas include:

  • Airport Residential Area: Convenient for airport stays and business appointments.
  • Cantonments: A residential and diplomatic district with accommodation options.
  • Osu: Popular for restaurants, shopping and nightlife.
  • East Legon: A residential and commercial area with hotels and restaurants.
  • Central Accra: Convenient for business, government offices and cultural attractions.

Road journey times vary significantly depending on traffic and your exact destination. If you're arriving late in the evening, consider arranging a hotel transfer or other reliable transport in advance. Confirm the identity of your driver before entering a vehicle.

Ghana Visa and Entry Requirements for UK Travellers

Before booking flights to Accra, make sure your travel documents meet Ghana's entry requirements. For travellers using a full British citizen passport, current UK government guidance states that:

  • Your passport must remain valid for at least six months after your arrival date.
  • A visa is required for a visit to Ghana.
  • A yellow fever vaccination certificate is required.
  • Visa applications can be made through the Ghana High Commission, subject to its application procedures.

Requirements may differ for Ghanaian nationals, dual nationals and holders of other passports. Visa processing times and entry rules can also change. Always confirm the latest information before travelling through the official GOV.UK Ghana entry requirements guide and the relevant Ghanaian authorities.
