Search flights from LOS to ENU
Lekki and Victoria Island
Aerial views of the high-rise business districts and the rapid coastal developments.
Lagos Lagoon
The massive expanse of the lagoon with cargo ships and local fishing boats visible.
Onitsha Niger Bridge
The iconic landmark spanning the Niger River, connecting the west to the east.
Delta Wetlands
The northern fringes of the Niger Delta featuring palm groves and intricate creek systems.
Milliken Hills
Rugged, verdant ridges and winding mountain roads during the final approach into ENU.
Select a seat behind the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Niger River bridge. During the Harmattan season (December-February), dust haze can obscure views; afternoon flights generally offer slightly better visibility as the sun helps cut through the haze. Watch closely during descent for the winding roads of the Milliken Hills.

Lagos Urban Sprawl
A vast, sprawling view of the Ikeja district and the northern outskirts of the megacity.
Ogun Rainforest Belt
Dense tropical greenery and forest reserves stretching across the southwestern interior.
Anambra River Basin
Meandering silver threads of water and seasonal floodplains north of the Niger confluence.
Udi Plateau
The dramatic rising elevation and undulating hills signaling the approach into Enugu.
Sit on this side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun glare. It provides the best perspective of the dense urban transition from Lagos into the rural heartland of Edo State. Keep your camera ready as you pass over the northern tributaries of the Niger River where the water often reflects the sky beautifully.
