Luggage
Be sure to check with your travel agent for particulars on luggage allowance including number of pieces, size, and weight they allow. Overweight charge on excess baggage is very expensive. Most airlines allow two checked bags per passenger at 50 pounds per bag. Check with the airline for current policy. Also note that most airlines have become rather stringent about criteria for carry-on items.
If you are flying from Accra to Tamale, the domestic flights only allow 20 kilos per passenger. They usually charge about $1 per kilo overweight.
Due to the change of planes in Europe and the possibility of late departures and/or arrivals, we strongly recommend that you pack enough in your carry-on bag for several days’ living, in case your suitcase doesn’t arrive until several days after you do (it may even arrive after you have departed Accra for Nalerigu).
When packing any liquids we recommend that you double bag them in Zip-Loc-type bags so that they won’t leak if crushed
Remember to keep all important papers with you at all times, in your carry-on and NOT in your checked luggage
