Lagos Skyline
A dense urban vista of Lagos Island, Victoria Island, and the sprawling Third Mainland Bridge shortly after takeoff.
Accra & Volta Delta
Aerial views of the Ghanaian capital and the vast mouth of the Volta River as it enters the Gulf of Guinea.
Ebrié Lagoon
The intricate lagoon system and bridges of Abidjan, often referred to as the 'Manhattan of Africa'.
Upper Guinean Forests
Lush tropical rainforest landscapes stretching across Liberia and Sierra Leone.
Bijagós Archipelago
A breathtaking collection of 88 islands off Guinea-Bissau, known for their unique biodiversity and turquoise waters.
Gambia River Mouth
The massive, winding estuary of the Gambia River as it cuts through the narrow territory of The Gambia.
Cap-Vert Peninsula
The westernmost tip of the African continent and the distinctive layout of Dakar during the final approach.
The right side is the scenic winner for this coastal route. For the best photography, opt for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the coastline. During the dry season (December to February), be aware that the Harmattan haze might occasionally obscure land features, so a seat forward of the wing is recommended for the clearest view.

Atlantic Horizon
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue South Atlantic Ocean stretching toward the horizon.
Maritime Traffic
Frequent sightings of cargo ships and tankers navigating the busy West African shipping lanes.
Oceanic Sunsets
On evening flights, this side offers a front-row seat to spectacular sunsets over the water.
Choose the left side for a more tranquil experience with less glare during morning flights. It is ideal for those who prefer watching cloud formations or the sunset over the open sea on late afternoon departures. Ensure your window is clean to capture the subtle gradients of the oceanic horizon.
