Long-haul service is dominated by British Airways, KLM, Emirates, Turkish Airlines and Ethiopian. Regional traffic to Lagos, Abidjan, Abuja and Monrovia is handled by Africa World Airlines, Air Peace and ASKY. Flightmussy compares these side-by-side without forcing a signup, including the smaller West African carriers Google Flights tends to bury.
When is the cheapest time to fly out of Accra?
Fares from ACC tend to dip in the rainy May-June window and again in late September after Ghanaian summer holidays end. The pre-Christmas spike from late November is the priciest stretch. Flightmussy's 12-month fare heatmap surfaces these cheap weeks at a glance instead of making you click through every date.

Kotoka sits about 10 km north-east of central Accra in the Airport Residential Area, typically a 20-40 minute taxi ride depending on traffic on the Liberation Road and Ring Road East corridor.

Are there direct flights from Accra to London?
Yes. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic both fly nonstop between Accra and London Heathrow, typically as overnight returns to LHR. Daily frequencies vary by season.
