Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The Right Side (North) offers a superior viewing experience for this route, providing a detailed look at the changing landscapes of the West African coast. Passengers can see the transition from the urban sprawl of Accra and Abidjan to the winding rivers and dense tropical rainforests of the Upper Guinean Forest as the plane enters Liberian airspace.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ™οΈ

Abidjan Skyline

Known as the 'Paris of West Africa,' Abidjan's skyscrapers and the Γ‰briΓ© Lagoon are clearly visible mid-flight.

🌿

Banco National Park

A massive, ancient rainforest reserve located surprisingly close to the urban center of Abidjan.

πŸ›Ά

Pra River

One of Ghana's largest rivers, seen winding its way through the landscape toward the Atlantic.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Cavalla River Border

This significant waterway serves as the international boundary between Ivory Coast and Liberia.

🌲

Liberian Rainforest

View the dense, dark green canopy of one of the last remaining strongholds of the Upper Guinean Forest ecosystem.

🏒

Monrovia Suburbs

On the approach to Spriggs Payne, you will fly over the densely populated neighborhoods of Paynesville.

The right side is the best choice for daytime photography. Aim for a seat in front of the wing for unobstructed views of the Abidjan lagoon system, which usually appears about 45 to 55 minutes into the journey. Be aware that during the Harmattan season (December to February), visibility of the distant mountains may be reduced by dust haze.

Left Side Highlights

🚒

Tema Port Traffic

Watch for massive container ships and oil tankers clustered near Ghana's main industrial port shortly after takeoff.

🌊

Gulf of Guinea

The vast, uninterrupted horizon of the Atlantic Ocean provides a serene backdrop with deep blue waters.

🏝️

Cape Three Points

The southernmost tip of Ghana is often visible as a rugged protrusion into the ocean if the flight path stays coastal.

🏘️

Buchanan Coastline

As you near Liberia, the industrial port town of Buchanan and its iron ore facilities can be spotted along the shore.

For morning flights, the left side remains in the shade, providing a cool and glare-free view of the ocean. Keep your eyes peeled for the white-crested waves breaking against the Liberian coastline during the final 20 minutes of the flight.
