Tips for 35 min Connections
If your connection involves the domestic terminal, budget extra time since it requires leaving the international building and re-clearing security.
Many long-haul flights from Europe and the Middle East arrive late night or early morning, so expect queues at immigration during these surge hours.
There is no dedicated airline lounge network as extensive as major global hubs, so pre-clear immigration early if you have a tight window before a departure.
Ghanaian visa-on-arrival or e-visa requirements can add significant time at immigration for international transfers — check requirements before departure.
Keep your boarding pass and passport ready, as staff frequently check documents at multiple checkpoints throughout Terminal 3.

Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
Within Terminal 3, international-to-international transfers move through a dedicated transit corridor with minimal walking, typically 5-10 minutes gate to gate. Passengers connecting to or from a domestic flight (Africa World Airlines, PassionAir) must exit Terminal 3, clear immigration/customs if arriving internationally, and take a short shuttle or walk to the domestic terminal, where a fresh security screening is required.
