Accra International Airport

Accra, Ghana · Africa

A 2018 international hall 10 km from Accra: easy once you have the eVisa, awkward if you treat T2 as walkable or still expect visa on arrival. Uber and Bolt beat a metro that does not exist.

T3 food court / departure concourse

La Tante Royale, Café Aleenoo, Muttina Bacci and Cassba on T3 departures 1st floor; shops on the departure concourse

Reliable sealed water after T3 security. GACL does not list public refill fountains. Cheaper than treating lounge access as a water stop if you are already airside without a card.

Price: No published GACL tariff — pay at the till

Airport Square landside (not airside)

Wok Inn, Fresh Juice Lounge and Alf & Gina listed by GACL as Airport Square, Accra — not inside T3 airside
