Fly to Nigeria with all your baggage — without the excess-fee shock
Trips to Nigeria usually mean travelling heavy — gifts for family, foodstuff, supplies for business or church. But most cheap fares include just one 23kg bag, and excess baggage fees at the airport are brutally expensive. We book you on fares with generous baggage built into the ticket, so everything flies with you for one upfront price.
Tell us how many bags you need before we quote — we'll match you with the airline and fare that carries it all the cheapest. No surprises at check-in.
The headline saving isn't always dramatic per ticket — the real value is certainty: one fare locked for everyone, seats together, and a single person to call when plans change.
Which airlines work best for UK–Ghana groups
British Airways — the only nonstop option, daily London Heathrow to Accra (about 6h 40m). Best when the group wants the fastest journey and no connection risk. KLM (via Amsterdam), Air France (via Paris), TAP (via Lisbon) — strong 1-stop options from London with frequent daily connections; often where the keenest group pricing sits. Turkish Airlines (via Istanbul) — competitive 1-stop pricing and generous baggage allowances, useful when the group travels heavy. Royal Air Maroc (via Casablanca) — has produced some of the lowest tracked UK–Ghana returns; worth pricing for budget-conscious groups.
We compare group fares across all of them — you don't have to.
When to book: the group timeline
3–6 months before travel: the sweet spot. Group allocations are widest and fares lowest. This is when to lock Christmas and Detty December groups — see our Detty December guide. 6–10 weeks before: still workable, but popular dates start to thin out. Under 4 weeks: possible, but expect less choice and higher fares — call us and we'll tell you honestly what's available.
7 tips for a smooth Ghana group booking
1. Nominate one organiser. One contact person, one decision-maker — groups with five people "just asking" stall for weeks. 2. Collect deposits early. The fare isn't locked until deposits are paid; late payers are the #1 reason groups lose their quote. 3. Get passport names right. Names must match passports exactly at the names deadline. 4. Ask about baggage together. Groups to Ghana often travel heavy (gifts, supplies) — negotiate the baggage picture upfront, not at the airport. 5. Build in buffer time. Harmattan haze in December/January can disrupt schedules — don't plan tight connections on arrival day. 6. Check visas early. UK passport holders need a Ghana visa; start months ahead — check the GOV.UK Ghana travel advice. 7. Use one booking for everyone. Split bookings across websites to "save £20" destroys every group advantage above.

Frequently asked questions
How many people count as a group flight booking?
Usually 10 or more passengers on the same flights. Smaller parties can still get a single managed booking with our deposit scheme, but the negotiated group fares kick in at around 10.
Are group fares cheaper than booking individually?
Often yes, but the bigger win is certainty: one locked fare for everyone, seats held together, flexible name deadlines and one point of contact. Booking 15 seats individually means 15 different prices and zero protection if plans change.
How do deposits work for group flight bookings?
A per-person deposit secures the whole group's seats and locks the fare — our standard deposit is £50–£80 per person. The balance is due before travel. Collect deposits from your group early: the quote isn't held until they're paid.
When do you need final passenger names?
Airlines set a names deadline, typically a few weeks before departure. You can secure the group with approximate numbers first and confirm exact passport names later — one of the biggest advantages over individual bookings.
Can group members fly from different UK airports?
Yes — tell us who flies from where (London, Manchester, Birmingham and beyond) and we'll build the group around it, aligning everyone onto the same Accra arrival where possible.
What happens if someone in the group drops out?
Talk to us as early as possible. Group bookings have more flexible options than individual tickets, but terms depend on the airline's group fare rules — we'll explain them before you pay anything.
Can we add extra baggage for the group?
Yes — tell us upfront how much the group needs. Some airlines and fares include generous allowances, and we can price extra bags as part of the group quote rather than as a nasty surprise at the airport.
