Which side of the plane to sit from Kotoka International Airport (Accra) to Cadjehoun Airport (Cotonou)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side of the aircraft provides a superior view of the West African coastline, including the major capital cities of Accra and Lomé, along with unique lagoon ecosystems.
Accra Metropolitan Area
Excellent views of Ghana's capital city and the sprawling urban landscape immediately after departure.
Tema Harbour
A clear view of one of West Africa's largest and most important industrial ports and container terminals.
Keta Lagoon
The massive expanse of Ghana's largest lagoon, creating a beautiful contrast between the land and the Atlantic.
Lomé Skyline
A close-up view of the Togolese capital and its distinctive coastal palm trees and beaches.
Mono River Delta
The winding river that marks the border between Togo and Benin as it empties into the Gulf of Guinea.
Choose a window seat on the left for a short 45-minute flight to see the dense urban centers. Since the cruise altitude is low on this route, the details of the coastline and lagoons are exceptionally visible. Early morning flights offer the best lighting without the haze that often develops by afternoon.
Gulf of Guinea
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean stretching toward the horizon.
Offshore Anchorage
Clusters of cargo ships and oil tankers anchored in the waters waiting to enter the ports of Tema and Lomé.
Coastal Surf Line
The continuous white foam of the Atlantic surf crashing against the sandy West African beaches.
Oceanic Horizon
Spectacular sun reflections on the water, particularly during early morning or late afternoon transitions.
The right side is best for passengers who prefer a serene, minimalist view of the ocean. To avoid the intense tropical sun glare during mid-day flights, the right side is generally more comfortable. Look down near the coast to see the vast number of international shipping vessels stationary in the water.
