Search flights from LOS to ACC
Lagos Megacity
Breathtaking views of the Third Mainland Bridge, Lagos Island, and the dense urban sprawl of Nigeria's commercial hub upon takeoff.
Lake Nokoué
A massive lagoon in Benin, home to Ganvie, the famous 'Venice of Africa' stilt village.
Lomé Cityscape
A low-altitude view of the Togo capital, featuring its modern architecture and the unique Grand Marché area.
Volta River Delta
The majestic point where the Volta River meets the sea at Ada Foah, creating a complex network of islands and mangroves.
Port of Tema
Ghana's primary industrial and shipping hub, visible as the aircraft begins its final descent into Accra.
This is the premier side for sightseeing. For the best experience, book a seat in front of the wing (Rows 1-10) to ensure the engine doesn't block the view of the lagoons. On morning flights, the sun is behind the aircraft, providing perfect lighting for photography of the Cotonou and Lomé shorelines. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff for the Lagos skyline and about 15 minutes before landing for the Volta River.

Gulf of Guinea
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean stretching toward the horizon.
Maritime Traffic
Large clusters of container ships and tankers anchored outside the major ports of Cotonou, Lomé, and Tema.
Coastal Surf Line
The dramatic white foam of the Atlantic waves crashing against the long, sandy stretches of the West African coast.
Sun Reflections
On late afternoon flights, the sun reflects brilliantly off the ocean surface to the south.
The left side is generally quieter with less glare during morning flights. It is ideal for passengers who prefer the calming vista of the open sea. Be aware that on afternoon flights, the sun will be positioned on this side, which may require closing the window shade to avoid heat and glare.
