Which side of the plane to sit from Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (Abuja) to Lomé-Tokoin Airport (Lome)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a spectacular vantage point of the West African coastline, the sprawling metropolitan area of Lagos, and the Gulf of Guinea during the descent into Lomé.
Search flights from ABV to LFW
Bight of Benin
Stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean meeting the West African coast as the flight path parallels the shoreline.
Lagos Metropolis
Aerial perspective of Nigeria's largest city, including the Third Mainland Bridge and the Lagos Lagoon.
Port of Cotonou
The busy maritime hub of Benin is often visible during the mid-portion of the flight.
Lomé Beachfront
Clear views of the palm-lined coast and the turquoise waters of the Togo shoreline during the final approach.
Sit on the left side for coastal views. For morning flights, this side is ideal as the sun will be behind or above the plane, reducing glare. During the rainy season (May-October), watch for dramatic cloud formations over the Atlantic. Try to book a seat ahead of the wing to get an unobstructed view of the Lagos coastline.

Abuja Cityscape
Immediate views of the planned capital city and the National Mosque shortly after take-off from ABV.
Niger River Crossing
The flight crosses the massive Niger River shortly after leaving the Federal Capital Territory.
Atakora Mountain Range
Distant views of the rolling hills and mountains that stretch across northern Benin and Togo.
West African Savanna
The landscape shifts from the wooded savanna of Nigeria to the more varied terrain of the interior.
The right side is best for those interested in the geography of the interior. It offers the best view of Abuja's urban layout during departure. In the Harmattan season (December-February), visibility can be reduced by dust, so late afternoon flights on this side may offer a softer light that pierces through the haze.
