Ouagadougou flights from London take 9-14 hours depending on your routing. The city is served by Thomas Sankara International Airport (OUA), just about 4km from the city centre.
No direct flights exist from the UK. Turkish Airlines via Istanbul runs daily with competitive fares. Air France via Paris and Royal Air Maroc through Casablanca are popular alternatives with layovers of 2-4 hours.
Return fares range from £400-550 in the cooler months to £700-900 during Christmas and Easter periods. February tends to be cheapest for bookings.
Ouagadougou, known locally as Ouaga, is the capital and largest city of Burkina Faso with 2.8 million people. The airport sits close to the city centre, so transfers are quick and affordable.
