By plane

Kotoka International Airport (IATA: ACC) is a major hub, with international connections from North America, Europe, Africa and the Middle East, along with internal connections to Kumasi, Tamale and Takoradi, and regional connections to virtually every West African country.

From the United States, Delta Air Lines operates four times weekly flights directly from New York-JFK and Atlanta. From there, it is possible to connect to all major North, South, and Latin American cities, and the Caribbean. United Airlines has daily non-stop overnight service from Washington-Dulles.

Arik Air  is a very cheap way to reach Accra from various locations in Africa. Air Namibia also connects Accra directly with Johannesburg and Namibia. Emirates also operates in the country and Virgin Nigeria (should you wish to fly from Lagos). Turkish Airlines begins its flights on 15th July 2010 and the flights would be on M-Tu, Th, and Sa.

Virgin Atlantic Airways operates 3 times weekly direct services from London's Heathrow Airport on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays as of April 2010 and has plans for more daily services. British Airways also operates a daily service to London Heathrow.

KLM also operates a daily service to Amsterdam, and from there can connect to almost all European destinations. TAP Portugal has a direct service to Lisbon, Lufthansa runs a daily service to and from Frankfurt, and Alitalia has regular services to Milan; however, inbound services to Accra stop in Lagos first.

From the airport

There is an official taxi stand. Make sure you find it, if you want a regulated fare. Otherwise, expect to be taken for a very expensive ride. On the upside, though, the expensive/illegal car touts usually put you in a nicer car with a professional driver, and you get to skip any potential taxi confusion�you
