Libreville Coastline

Atlantic Horizon
Unobstructed views of the sunset if the flight is timed during the late afternoon or evening.
The right side is highly recommended for coastal views. To see the Sahara-Coast transition, choose a window seat on this side. If the flight departs Casablanca in the late morning, the lighting on the coastline will be ideal for photography without harsh glares.
