Major Airports & Gateways
Cotonou (COO): Benin’s main international airport and primary gateway, offering regional and limited intercontinental connections; ideal for business travel and access to major cities.
Other Airports: PNB (Porto-Novo), PKO (Parakou) and NAE (Natitingou) have little or no direct international service from the U.S.; most travelers fly into Cotonou (COO) and connect onward domestically.
Best Time to Fly
The best time to book Flights to Benin is during the dry season (November–March), when the weather is warm, stable, and ideal for sightseeing and cultural exploration. These months offer comfortable conditions for visiting coastal cities, historic sites, and national parks. The rainy season (April–October) brings higher humidity and heavy showers, which can affect travel plans, though it often features fewer tourists and better flight deals. For travelers seeking a balance of good weather and affordable fares, the shoulder months are an excellent option. Alim Travels helps you choose the best time to fly to Benin based on your travel goals, budget, and preferred climate.
