Direct vs connecting: MIA → ACC
| Measure | Value |
|---|---|
| Airport pair | Miami (MIA) → Accra (ACC) |
| Great-circle distance | 8,738 km (5,430 mi) |
| Non-stop flight time | 10.95 h (10 h 57 min) — 850 km/h + 40 min taxi model |
| One-stop total (est.) | ≈ 13.9 h (13 h 54 min) |
| Two-stop total (est.) | ≈ 19.9 h (19 h 54 min) |
| Time-zone shift | 5 h ahead (UTC−5 → UTC+0) |
Estimates use the site-wide 850 km/h cruise + 40-minute taxi model; real block times drift with winds and routing.

Non-stop, the MIA–ACC sector prices out at 10.95 hours — 8,738 km at 850 km/h plus 40 minutes of taxi, climb and approach. Model it before booking: one stop ≈ 13.9 h total, two stops ≈ 19.9 h, per the slider above.
The clock moves 5 h forward (UTC−5 → UTC+0), so a morning departure can land well into the local evening.
If ACC doesn't suit: the neighbors
| Alternative | Distance to Accra | Flight time from MIA |
|---|---|---|
| Lagos (LOS) | 407 km | 1.1 h |
Fewer than two fields sit within 300 km of Accra, so the radius was widened to 700 km.

Flexible-flier trick: price MIA against ACC and then against each nearby field below — secondary endpoints within 700 km sometimes clear the fare by a full cabin class. From MIA, reaching LOS instead takes about 1.1 h — less airborne time than the 10.95 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. Remember the destination is the point: any airport below that adds more than a couple of hours of surface time to reach Accra needs a substantial fare gap to justify.
From touchdown to day one in Accra
Put a departure hour on the math: wheels-up at 10:00 from MIA puts you on the ground at ACC around 01:57 local time, once the 5-hour gain is applied. Hotel, meal and transit averages put a Accra day at $114 against $279 in Miami — worth weighing against any fare premium for better flight times.
Accra undercuts Miami by $165 a day on the dataset averages; let that shape how many nights you book at each end. The modest 5-hour eastbound shift keeps the Miami–Accra trip easy to absorb.
