Flight Time from Los Angeles (LAX) to Accra (ACC)

The 12,171 km between LAX and ACC converts to 14.99 hours of flying under the 850 km/h + 40 min model. The slider's steps are anchored on typical hub dwell times, which is why the totals sit at 17.5 h and 23.5 h rather than pure multiples.

Ultra-long-haul arithmetic applies here: the 14.99-hour airborne leg is long enough that splitting it at a hub can beat fatigue even when it loses the clock race. Factor the 8-hour shift into recovery plans: eastbound arrivals at Accra generally bite harder than westbound ones.

If fares into ACC spike, the airports tabulated below are the first places to check; each row shows the distance back to Accra and the flight time from Los Angeles. From LAX, reaching LOS instead takes about 1.1 h — less airborne time than the 14.99 h non-stop, and the surface leg into Accra still has to be won back.

Companion flight-time pages exist for 1 of these alternatives (LOS first among them) — see Related calculators. Ground transfer from the alternative airport back into Accra is the catch for arrivals off the LAX service: the 407 km back-offset is time you must win back in fare savings.

Leave Los Angeles at 10:00 and the local arrival clock in Accra reads about 08:59, which tells you whether day one is recoverable. Daily spend shifts at landing: $114 in Accra against $268 at home in Los Angeles, using the dataset's mid-range figures.

Accra undercuts Los Angeles by $154 a day on the dataset averages; let that shape how many nights you book at each end. With 8 hours gained eastbound, the 12,171 km out to Accra ends in a serious jet-lag bill — plan a quiet first day.
