Accra is Ghana's relaxed, welcoming capital and a solid West African hub — €446 to Abidjan, a deep bag-included continental network, and the Indian Ocean and India within reach from one of the region's friendliest gateways.
Kotoka International (ACC) is unusually close to the city — often just 15–30 minutes — but there’s a catch: there’s no airport rail or reliable public bus (the informal tro-tro minibuses don’t serve the terminal directly). The safest, simplest options are Bolt or Uber (cheaper, with the price shown upfront — pickup from the designated area outside) or the marked airport taxi queue (around GHS 70–120 to central Accra). Avoid unmarked touts. Because the airport is so central, even a taxi fare is short — the main thing is to use a metered or app-priced ride.
As a base, Accra’s value is its West African connectivity and a reach that stretches across the continent and out to the Indian Ocean and India, with most fares including a checked bag.
West and East Africa — the core network
The cheapest fare is the natural regional one: Abidjan (€446 with a bag) — neighbouring Côte d’Ivoire’s economic capital, a short hop along the coast. From there the continent opens up: Nairobi (€580 with a bag) reaches Kenya and East Africa, Johannesburg (€582 with a bag) the south, and Kigali (€634 with a bag) Rwanda. All include luggage. From Accra, the rest of Africa is a connected network rather than a series of expensive long-hauls via Europe.
The Indian Ocean and India
The board stretches beyond the continent. Mahé in the Seychelles (€693 with a bag) reaches the Indian Ocean dream islands, while India opens up via Bombay (€764 with a bag) and Delhi (€795 with a bag) — both with luggage, reflecting Ghana’s growing trade ties with the subcontinent. These are the long-haul gateways for anyone combining a West African trip with onward Indian Ocean or Indian travel.
Using Accra as a West African base
Accra is one of the region’s easiest entry points — politically stable, English-speaking and famously friendly — which makes it a natural base for exploring West Africa. The Abidjan hop is cheap enough to add Côte d’Ivoire to any trip, and the broader African network means you can pair Ghana’s beaches and history with an onward East or southern African leg from the same hub.
Bag fares: all included
This is a simple board: every fare includes a checked bag. These are all medium-to-long-haul routes on full-service carriers, and luggage is standard — exactly as it should be for the longer trips they serve. Just confirm the exact weight allowance for your fare class at booking, especially on the connecting Indian Ocean and India routes where limits can vary.
