Search flights from LFW to ABJ
Lomé Coastline
Immediate views of the Togolese capital and its bustling port right after takeoff.
Keta Lagoon
A massive, shallow water body in Ghana known for its unique turquoise and silver hues.
Volta River Delta
The intricate green-and-blue network where Ghana's largest river meets the Atlantic.
Accra Metropolitan Area
A sprawling view of Ghana's capital, including the Independence Square and coastal landmarks.
Historic Gold Coast Forts
Spot the white-washed colonial forts like Cape Coast Castle dotted along the Ghanaian shore.
Ebrié Lagoon
The complex system of waterways and bridges that define the 'Paris of Africa', Abidjan.
The right side is significantly more scenic for this coastal hop. To avoid the glare of the southern sun, choose an early morning flight. During the descent into Abidjan, the plane often performs a U-turn over the Ebrié Lagoon, providing a spectacular view of the Plateau district (the skyline) for those on this side.

Gulf of Guinea
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean stretching to the horizon.
Shipping Arteries
Frequent sightings of large tankers and cargo ships queuing for the ports of Tema and Abidjan.
Oceanic Sun Glare
Dramatic reflections of the sun off the water, particularly stunning during late afternoon flights.
Sit here if you prefer a peaceful, minimalist view of the horizon. During the Harmattan season (December to February), the ocean view is often clearer than the hazy land view. If flying westward in the late afternoon, the sun will be on this side, so keep your window shade ready.
