Travel to Angola

Flying to Angola

Flights to Angola are served by the national airline of TAAG Angola Airlines (DT) (www.taag.com.br).

Flight times:

From London to Luanda is approximately 13 hours (including stopover in Brussels, Lisbon or Paris).

Departure tax:

None.

Travel by rail

Overland routes to neighbouring countries are generally not open, but conditions are subject to frequent change. Driving outside Luanda is not recommended and can be risky. Travellers should contact an embassy for advice on security along their planned routes. Plans to re-open the Benguela railway seem unlikely to come to fruition until the country has become more stable.

Getting to Angola by boat

Main ports include Lobito, Luanda, Malongo and Namibe.
