LBV → LOS
Which side of the plane to sit from Libreville Leon M'ba International Airport (Libreville) to Murtala Muhammed International Airport (Lagos)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for observing the diverse geography of the West African coast, featuring volcanic islands, the massive Niger Delta, and the urban sprawl of Lagos.
Bioko Island
View the dramatic volcanic peaks of Equatorial Guinea rising sharply from the ocean shortly after takeoff.
Mount Cameroon
On exceptionally clear days, the highest peak in West Africa is visible inland across the Bight of Biafra.
Niger Delta
An incredible aerial view of the labyrinthine river networks, mangroves, and wetlands of southern Nigeria.
Industrial Hubs
See the infrastructure of the oil and gas industry around Port Harcourt and the Bonny River.
Lagos Cityscape
A panoramic view of Victoria Island, the Third Mainland Bridge, and the dense urban core during the landing pattern.
The right side is significantly more scenic. Sit forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of Bioko Island, which usually appears about 20-30 minutes into the flight. Morning flights are highly recommended to avoid the heavy afternoon haze and tropical cloud build-up that often obscures the Niger Delta and Mount Cameroon.
Gulf of Guinea
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean stretching toward the horizon.
Maritime Traffic
Spot large cargo ships and oil tankers congregating near the major ports of the Bight of Biafra.
Atlantic Sunset
On late afternoon flights, the left side provides a front-row seat to the sun setting over the open water.
Lagos Barrier Islands
During the final descent, view the thin strips of white sand separating the ocean from the Lagos lagoons.
This side is best for passengers who prefer the tranquility of the open sea. For the most dramatic lighting, choose an evening flight to see the sunset. During the approach into LOS, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct turquoise waters near the coastal sandbars.
