Even though Johannesburg has two airports capable of handling international flights, you can rest assured that your flight deal to Accra will always route you through OR Tambo International Airport (JNB) on its way to Kotoka International Airport, Accra (ACC). This is Ghana’s biggest and busiest airport, handling between 2.5 and 3 million passengers per annum. Connect to OR Tambo on the Gautrain from tourist areas Rosebank and Sandton, or use an e-haling service with your smartphone app. The check-in area for international departures is on the upper level at OR Tambo. Be sure to get to the airport at least a few hours before your flight departs to check in early, go through passport control and security, and get to your gate. Johannesburg is a big airport, defined as a global hub, so it can get busy before a host of international flights depart, mostly in the evenings.
Unfortunately, there are no direct flights to Accra from Johannesburg at this time. Airlines that offer a service between the two cities, usually with one stop, include Ethiopian Airlines, EgyptAir, Kenya Airways and Emirates. Remember that in the case of connections in Dubai and Cairo, you are flying north first before returning west to Accra, which makes the journey time longer.
Since you won’t be flying direct to Accra, some options on Accra flight deals include flying via Bole International Airport in Addis Ababa (ADD) on Ethiopian Airlines (journey time of around 14h) or ASKY Airlines (journey time also around 14h), via Cairo International Airport (CAI) on EgyptAir (journey time of around 16h), via Dubai International Airport (DXB) on Emirates (journey time of around 20h), via Nairobi on Kenya Airways (journey time of around 11h), or via Murtala Muhammed International Airport in Lagos (LOS) on Air Peace (journey time of around 22h). Each stopover city will require a plane change and may include a lengthy transit time between connecting flights, which explains the disparity in the times listed above, not the actual distance and travel time between the cities. So for example, even though Accra and Lagos are both in West Africa and therefore quite close to each other, there is a long stopover period if you fly via Lagos.
