Planning a flight from the UK to Accra
This page is for anyone in the UK working out how to fly to Accra, whether you are heading home to family, travelling for work or visiting for the first time. Accra's airport is Accra International Airport (formerly Kotoka International Airport), code ACC. Ghana's Ministry of Transport announced the name change on 23 February 2026, and the airport's codes did not change. Some airline pages still use the old name. Each fact below comes from a named airline, airport or government page, and the sources section at the end gives the date we read them.
Which airlines list Accra from the UK
British Airways lists Accra among its Heathrow destinations and among its Gatwick destinations. We could not read its route page when we checked, so we state no days, flight time or baggage allowance for British Airways. Ask us for them.
Emirates lists flights to Accra from eight UK airports. Its pages do not name the stopover airport, so we do not either.
Ethiopian Airlines has a fare page for London Heathrow to Accra. The page names no hub, stops or journey time.
Kenya Airways also has a fare page for London Heathrow to Accra, and it names no hub, stops or journey time either.
Airlines change their routes and schedules, so read this as what each airline publishes rather than as a timetable.

British Airways lists Accra from both Heathrow and Gatwick, and Ethiopian Airlines and Kenya Airways name Heathrow.

Checked baggage to Accra
Emirates is the only airline whose allowance we could read for Accra. It lists a piece concept for flights into Africa, where the number of pieces depends on your fare, and the table above has the details. We could not read a British Airways allowance, so we state none. Your ticket shows your actual allowance, and we confirm it with your quote.
Entry requirements
Ghana's visa route has two official sources, and we link to both instead of rewording them. The Documents and entry section on this page gives our summary. Read the GOV.UK entry requirements for Ghana, the GOV.UK warnings and insurance page for Ghana and the Ghana Immigration Service e-visa portal before you book, and check them again before you travel.
