Accepted Answer

Return flights from London to Accra typically cost between £628 and £828 in September, though fares move with demand, season and how early you book. The lowest fare our search found recently was £618 — a great price and well below the usual range, so a price near this is worth grabbing. Keeping your dates flexible and comparing nearby days is the easiest way to land at the cheaper end.

Accepted Answer

On average, November is the cheapest month to fly to Accra, with return fares around £618, and March is another good-value option at about £618. Prices peak in August, when return tickets average around £942 because of higher demand. If your travel dates are flexible, shifting your trip into a cheaper month can save you a meaningful amount.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

The cheapest day to depart to Accra is usually Wednesday, when fares start from around £660 — midweek departures tend to be quieter and cheaper. Tuesday is typically the most expensive day to fly out (around £752), as weekend travel is popular with leisure and business travellers alike. Where your plans allow, moving your outbound to a cheaper weekday can noticeably lower the total fare.

Question 4

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

Accepted Answer

Flights to Accra are generally cheapest departing in the morning, with fares from around £618. Departures in the evening tend to cost more (about £656), as those slots are more convenient and in higher demand. Picking an off-peak departure time is a simple way to trim the price without changing your dates.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

The cheapest return flights to Accra depart from London Heathrow (LHR), from around £739. London has several airports serving this route and fares can vary between them — Stansted (STN) is often the priciest at around £778. It's worth checking which London airport is both cheapest and most convenient for you before booking.

Question 6

What are the most popular airlines flying to Accra?

Accepted Answer

The most popular airlines flying to Accra are Turkish Airlines, Royal Air Maroc, Ethiopian Airlines and RwandAir, based on how often they appear across searches for this route. Each offers different schedules, baggage allowances and service levels, so it's worth comparing them alongside price. A well-served airline usually means more departure options and easier rebooking if your plans change.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

Recently, the cheapest return tickets to Accra were found on Royal Air Maroc (from £618) and RwandAir (from £656), with Turkish Airlines also competitive. The lowest-priced carrier can change from week to week depending on availability and demand. Comparing a few airlines for your exact dates is the best way to secure the cheapest fare.

Question 8

How many flights fly to Accra per week?

Accepted Answer

The most flights to Accra are scheduled on Sunday (around 5 per day), while Saturday has the fewest (around 1) — roughly 18 flights a week in total. Travelling on a busier day gives you more choice of times and, often, better prices. If you can, avoid the quietest days when seats are more limited.

Question 9

How long is the flight to Accra?

Accepted Answer

On average, a flight from London to Accra takes around 19h 34m, covering roughly 3,172 miles. Total travel time depends on whether you fly direct or connect, and which UK airport you leave from. Direct services are the fastest, while connecting flights add the length of the layover.

Question 10

What time do flights to Accra depart?

Accepted Answer

Flights to Accra depart London from as early as 6:25 AM (arriving 7:50 PM) right through to a latest departure of 10:40 PM (arriving 7:50 PM). That spread lets you choose an early start to make the most of your first day, or a later flight if you'd rather not rush. Exact departure times vary by airline and day, so check the schedule for your specific dates.

Question 11

What is the rainfall in Accra by month?

Accepted Answer

October is typically the wettest month in Accra, with around 174 mm of rain, while January is the driest at roughly 15 mm. If you'd rather avoid the wet season, planning your trip around the drier months makes for easier sightseeing. Either way, packing light rain gear for the wetter months is always worth doing.

Question 12

What is the temperature in Accra by month?

Accepted Answer

Accra is warmest around April, when temperatures average about 28°C, and coolest around August at roughly 24.9°C.
