ENU → LOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Akanu Ibiam International Airport (Enugu) to Murtala Muhammed International Airport (Lagos)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most dramatic views during the final approach into Lagos, featuring the Atlantic coastline, the Lagos Lagoon, and the iconic skyscrapers of Victoria Island and Lekki.
Udi Hills
Rolling green hills and valleys surrounding Enugu visible immediately after takeoff.
Lower Niger River
Aerial view of the massive river as it flows south toward the delta region near Onitsha.
Delta Wetlands
Dense tropical vegetation and meandering water channels in the fringes of the Niger Delta.
Lekki Peninsula
High-altitude views of the rapidly expanding urban developments along the Lagos coast.
Atlantic Coastline
The striking contrast where the dark blue Bight of Benin meets the white sands of Lagos beaches.
Book an 'A' seat for the best perspective. During the descent into Lagos, keep your camera ready for the transition from rural wetlands to the dense urban islands. In the late afternoon, this side avoids the direct glare of the sun, making for better photography of the coastline.
Enugu Cityscape
A clear view of the 'Coal City' layout including the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium shortly after lift-off.
Onitsha-Asaba Bridge
The critical infrastructure link connecting the East and West over the Niger River.
Edo Rainforests
Expansive views of the forest reserves and canopy layers in the mid-western region of Nigeria.
Agricultural Estates
Orderly patterns of vast rubber and oil palm plantations typical of the Edo and Ondo state landscapes.
Ikorodu/Mainland Sprawl
The immense density of the Lagos mainland and the Ikorodu outskirts during the final descent.
Choose a 'K' or 'F' seat for better inland views. This side is particularly scenic during morning flights when the sun illuminates the Niger River crossing. Be aware that during the Harmattan season (December to February), visibility can be significantly reduced by dust haze.
