LOS → KAD
Which side of the plane to sit from Murtala Muhammed International Airport (Lagos) to Kaduna Airport (Kaduna)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of Nigeria's urban development and major landmarks, including the vast sprawl of Lagos, the historic brown roofs of Ibadan, and a more direct view of the Kaduna River upon arrival.
Lagos Mainland
Unparalleled views of the Third Mainland Bridge, Ikeja, and the dense urban grid of Africa's largest city.
Ibadan Sprawl
Identify the iconic rusted brown roofs of Ibadan, one of the most geographically expansive cities in West Africa.
Lagos-Ibadan Expressway
Watch the artery of Nigerian commerce as it snakes through the forest towards the northern interior.
Kaduna River
The winding Kaduna River provides a dramatic landmark as the aircraft descends into the northern savanna.
Choose the right side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side provides the best perspective of the Kaduna city center and the industrial zones during the final approach. Look out for the Asejire Reservoir near Ibadan shortly after takeoff.
Badagry Coastline
During the initial climb from LOS, you can see the thin strips of land separating the Atlantic Ocean from the inland lagoons.
Egba Highlands
As the plane turns north, the rocky terrain around Abeokuta becomes visible, showcasing the ancient geography of Ogun State.
Old Oyo National Park
Extensive stretches of forest and woodland savanna that mark the transition into the Middle Belt region.
Shiroro Basin
Distant views of the Niger State water systems and the rugged landscapes of the Kaduna-Niger border.
Sit toward the front of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. This side is particularly scenic during sunset flights as the sun dips toward the horizon over the Benin Republic border.
