The lowest fare our search found recently was £608 — a great price and well below the usual range, so a price near this is worth grabbing. Keeping your dates flexible and comparing nearby days is the easiest way to land at the cheaper end.

Question 2

If your travel dates are flexible, shifting your trip into a cheaper month can save you a meaningful amount.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

The cheapest day to depart to Douala is usually Tuesday, when fares start from around £608 — midweek departures tend to be quieter and cheaper. Saturday is typically the most expensive day to fly out (around £645), as weekend travel is popular with leisure and business travellers alike. Where your plans allow, moving your outbound to a cheaper weekday can noticeably lower the total fare.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

Flights to Douala are generally cheapest departing in the evening, with fares from around £608. Departures in midday tend to cost more (about £626), as those slots are more convenient and in higher demand. Picking an off-peak departure time is a simple way to trim the price without changing your dates.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

The cheapest return flights to Douala depart from London Gatwick (LGW), from around £621. London has several airports serving this route and fares can vary between them — Stansted (STN) is often the priciest at around £809. It's worth checking which London airport is both cheapest and most convenient for you before booking.

Question 6

How far in advance should I book a flight to Douala?

Accepted Answer

To get a below-average price to Douala, aim to book roughly 4 weeks before departure, when fares tend to dip to around £615. Leaving it to the final week is usually the most expensive time to buy, costing about 61% more, as availability tightens. Booking extremely far ahead isn't always cheaper either, so a few weeks to a couple of months out is typically the sweet spot.

Question 7

Accepted Answer

The most popular airlines flying to Douala are Royal Air Maroc, Brussels Airlines, Turkish Airlines and RwandAir, based on how often they appear across searches for this route. Each offers different schedules, baggage allowances and service levels, so it's worth comparing them alongside price. A well-served airline usually means more departure options and easier rebooking if your plans change.

Accepted Answer

Recently, the cheapest return tickets to Douala were found on RwandAir (from £608) and Royal Air Maroc (from £615), with Brussels Airlines also competitive. The lowest-priced carrier can change from week to week depending on availability and demand. Comparing a few airlines for your exact dates is the best way to secure the cheapest fare.

Question 9

Which cabin classes are available to Douala?

Accepted Answer

Flights to Douala are offered in Economy, Premium Economy, Business and First, though availability varies by airline. Economy is the most affordable option (from around £621), while premium cabins cost significantly more in exchange for extra space, baggage and comfort — Business fares start from about £2,125. Choose the cabin that best balances your budget with how much comfort you want on the journey.

Question 10

How many flights fly to Douala per week?

Accepted Answer

The most flights to Douala are scheduled on Friday (around 6 per day), while Wednesday has the fewest (around 2) — roughly 24 flights a week in total. Travelling on a busier day gives you more choice of times and, often, better prices. If you can, avoid the quietest days when seats are more limited.

Question 11

How long is the flight to Douala?

Accepted Answer

On average, a flight from London to Douala takes around 17h 05m, covering roughly 3,228 miles. Total travel time depends on whether you fly direct or connect, and which UK airport you leave from — from Manchester, for example, it's typically about 11h 50m. Direct services are the fastest, while connecting flights add the length of the layover.

Question 12

What time do flights to Douala depart?

Accepted Answer

Flights to Douala depart London from as early as 6:05 AM (arriving 5:55 PM) right through to a latest departure of 9:20 PM (arriving 1:35 PM). That spread lets you choose an early start to make the most of your first day, or a later flight if you'd rather not rush. Exact departure times vary by airline and day, so check the schedule for your specific dates.

What is the rainfall in Douala by month?

Accepted Answer

September is typically the wettest month in Douala, with around 241 mm of rain, while February is the driest at roughly 0 mm.
