COO → LFW
Which side of the plane to sit from Cadjehoun Airport (Cotonou) to Lomé-Tokoin Airport (Lome)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the diverse West African landscape, including the sprawling Lake Nokoué, the transition across the international border, and the dense urban layouts of both Cotonou and Lomé.
Search flights from COO to LFW
Lake Nokoué
A massive lagoon north of Cotonou, home to the famous Ganvié stilt village (though small from the air).
Cotonou Cityscape
A bird's-eye view of the dense urban grid, bustling markets, and the red-roofed houses of the Beninese capital.
Lake Togo
A beautiful, calm lagoon near Agbodrafo, reflecting the sky and surrounded by lush green vegetation.
Sanvee-Condji Border
The distinct land border crossing between Benin and Togo, where the main coastal highway narrows through checkpoints.
Lomé Downtown
As the plane descends, view the iconic Hotel du 2 Febvrier and the administrative heart of Togo's capital.
Since this is a very short, low-altitude flight (often under 15,000 feet), the detail on the right side is exceptional. Morning flights are best to have the sun behind you, illuminating the lagoons and the vibrant red soil characteristic of the region.
Book Hotels in Lome
Port of Cotonou
One of the largest and busiest ports in West Africa, visible immediately after takeoff from COO.
Gulf of Guinea
Expansive views of the Atlantic Ocean with dozens of cargo ships anchored in the bright blue waters.
Grand-Popo Coastline
Stunning stretches of golden sand beaches and palm-fringed shores along the Beninese coast.
Port of Lomé
The deep-water port of Togo, featuring massive container terminals and breakwaters during final approach.
The left side provides a constant maritime horizon. If flying in the afternoon, the sun will be to the south, potentially causing significant glare off the water. This side is ideal for spotting maritime traffic and coastal erosion patterns.
