Which side of the plane to sit from Addis Ababa Bole International Airport (Addis Ababa) to Akanu Ibiam International Airport (Enugu)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a more dramatic perspective of the descent from the Ethiopian Highlands, the expansive wetlands of the Sudd in South Sudan, and the impressive Benue River valley in Nigeria.

Rift Valley Cliffs
The dramatic tectonic drop-off as the flight exits the high Ethiopian plateau.
The Sudd Wetlands
A vast, shimmering mosaic of swamps and lagoons in South Sudan, one of the largest wetlands globally.
Adamawa Plateaus
Striking volcanic peaks and high-altitude grasslands near the Cameroon-Nigeria border.
Benue River
The massive, winding silver ribbon of Nigeria's second-longest river.
The right side is the prime choice for morning flights to avoid glare. Keep your eyes open about an hour into the flight for the Sudd; its reflection of the sun is spectacular. Note that Harmattan dust (Dec-Feb) may reduce visibility significantly at lower altitudes.
