Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic transition from the Atlantic coastline to the intricate, vein-like waterways of the Niger Delta.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Lekki Peninsula

Immediate views of the Lagos lagoons and the rapidly developing coastline stretching toward the Epe region.

🚢

Bight of Benin

The deep blue of the Atlantic Ocean contrasted against the sandy beaches of the southern Nigerian coast.

🌿

Niger Delta Creeks

The mesmerizing and complex network of mangrove swamps and natural river channels in the Delta region.

🔥

Oil Rig Flares

Visible as bright orange flickers, these industrial landmarks are iconic to the southern flight path.

🛶

Riverine Villages

Small fishing communities perched on the edges of the delta, accessible only by water.

The right side is significantly more scenic for coastal enthusiasts. For evening flights, you may see the spectacular glow of gas flares in the delta. Choose a seat behind the wing to ensure the engine doesn't block the intricate water patterns below.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
🏙️

Lagos Mainland Sprawl

A sweeping view of the dense urban architecture and industrial zones as you climb out of Ikeja.

🌲

Edo State Forests

Lush tropical green belts and palm plantations characterize the landscape through the mid-belt of the flight.

🌊

The Niger River

Look for the massive expanse of the Niger River near the Asaba-Onitsha axis, often visible through the haze.

🏘️

Inland Settlements

Vibrant red-earth roads and traditional grid-patterned towns dotting the landscape towards Akwa Ibom.

Sit on the left if you prefer inland geography. Morning flights are best for visibility as heat haze typically builds up by mid-afternoon. Watch for the distinct change in soil color from the light browns of Lagos to the deep reds of the east.
