KAD → LOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Kaduna Airport (Kaduna) to Murtala Muhammed International Airport (Lagos)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of Nigeria's geography, including the Niger River crossing and the vast urban expanse of Ibadan before approaching the Lagos Lagoon.
The Niger River
A magnificent view as the aircraft traverses one of Africa's greatest rivers near the middle belt region.
Ibadan Urban Sprawl
The distinct and massive urban landscape of Ibadan is clearly visible as you head south toward the coast.
Lagos Lagoon
The expansive lagoon provides a beautiful water-top view of the city density during the final descent into LOS.
Kaduna River
Immediate views of the winding river and industrial zones of Kaduna shortly after takeoff.
Optimal for morning flights to avoid glare. Look out for the Niger River approximately 25 minutes after departure; it is the most significant natural landmark on this route.
Guinean Forest-Savanna
Observe the transition from northern savanna to lush southern tropical rainforest zones.
Western Plains
Rolling hills and rocky outcrops of the Nigerian interior are visible throughout the mid-flight phase.
Ikeja Commercial Hub
A detailed bird's-eye view of the bustling industrial and residential heart of Lagos State during the final approach.
The right side is ideal for evening flights to witness the sunset over West Africa. During the harmattan season (December to February), visibility may be lower, so look for larger landmarks like major roads.
