How to travel around Ghana by air

What to expect when flying between cities or connecting after an international arrival.

Flying between cities in Ghana

  • Prepare physical ID for AWA domestic check-in and check foreign-resident passport rules
    Africa World Airlines requires valid physical government ID for domestic check-in, while its FAQ separately requires foreign residents to present passports for domestic identification. Prepare for your own status rather than treating domestic ID guidance as international entry permission or one rule for all travellers.

Arriving from another country

  • Notify AWA staff when baggage cannot be located
    Africa World Airlines’ customer commitment advises passengers who cannot locate baggage to notify its staff, or the Lost and Found desk for regional flights. Provide details for the actual flight and retain the report; a search request does not approve compensation.
