ACC → ROB
Which side of the plane to sit from Kotoka International Airport (Accra) to Roberts International Airport (Monrovia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft provides a spectacular continuous view of the West African coastline, featuring historical landmarks, major urban centers like Abidjan, and the lush tropical landscapes of Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire.
Accra Cityscape
A comprehensive view of Ghana's capital, including the central business district and Independence Square shortly after takeoff.
Historic Castles
The white-washed walls of Cape Coast and Elmina Castles are often visible along the central Ghanaian shoreline.
Abidjan & Ébrié Lagoon
The dense skyscrapers of Le Plateau and the complex lagoon system of Côte d'Ivoire's largest city.
Assinie-Mafia
The narrow strip of land between the lagoon and the sea, known for its luxury coastal resorts.
Cavally River
The prominent winding river that defines the international border between Côte d'Ivoire and Liberia.
Liberian Rainforest
As the flight nears Robertsfield, the landscape transforms into dense, vibrant tropical forest canopy.
Sit in the forward or rear sections to avoid wing obstruction. This route flies relatively close to the shore, so binoculars can help spot the historic forts. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, illuminating the coastline perfectly without glare.
Gulf of Guinea
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean extending to the horizon.
Shipping Channels
Observe large cargo ships and tankers queuing for entry into the major ports of West Africa.
Oceanic Sunset
On late afternoon flights, experience a direct view of the sun setting over the water.
Choose this side if you prefer a glare-free environment for sleeping or if you are flying during sunset. Keep an eye out for 'flares' from offshore oil rigs in the Tano Basin as you pass the Ghana-Ivory Coast border.
