Accra-Johannesburg is best priced as its own lane rather than as generic advice for Johannesburg. The carriers to test are SAA, Ethiopian Airlines, Kenya Airways and RwandAir, and each one can sell a different balance of fare, baggage and timing. With about 7 listed daily departures or connections and a 5h 55m journey in the data, the stronger itinerary is often the one that keeps the OR Tambo International Airport arrival clean. The market pattern is regional African itinerary, not a simple shuttle.

Booking timing on Accra-Johannesburg should start with November for value and July-August and December for pressure. A sensible watch window is about a month, especially when the trip has fixed dates or a checked-bag connection. Friday, Saturday and Sunday departures take the first hit in peak season. The route's 5h 55m duration can look manageable, but a poor connection can still consume the day. Midweek searches are the best way to test whether the quoted fare is genuinely soft.

The ground side of Accra-Johannesburg is where the booking becomes practical. There are no direct flights from South Africa - the JNB-ACC connection runs via Addis Ababa on Ethiopian or via Nairobi on Kenya Airways. At the destination end, oR Tambo International is the busiest airport in Africa, handling roughly 21 million passengers a year and sitting 25km east of the Johannesburg CBD in Kempton. OR Tambo International Airport is South Africa's largest and busiest airport, serving as the primary hub for domestic, regional African. If Johannesburg is a connection point, keep the onward domestic handover looser than the minimum shown online. Use the airport name, landing time and final address as one plan, especially if the itinerary includes a connection before Johannesburg.
