LOS → ROB
Which side of the plane to sit from Murtala Muhammed International Airport (Lagos) to Roberts International Airport (Monrovia)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the vibrant coastlines of West Africa, featuring major metropolitan hubs, expansive lagoon systems, and the lush tropical landscapes of Côte d'Ivoire and Liberia.
Lagos Skyline
Spectacular views of Victoria Island, Eko Atlantic, and the sprawling Third Mainland Bridge upon takeoff.
Volta River Delta
The massive estuary where Ghana's largest river meets the sea, featuring intricate sandbars.
Accra Coastline
Aerial perspective of Ghana's capital, including Independence Square and the Osu Castle area.
Ebrié Lagoon
The stunning network of waterways surrounding Abidjan, often called the 'Paris of West Africa'.
Liberian Rainforest
Dense, vibrant green tropical canopy as the plane descends into Roberts International.
Sit on the right for a geography lesson of West Africa. Morning flights are ideal to avoid the sun reflecting off the water. Look out for the distinct change from the urban concrete of Lagos to the lush greenery of Liberia. During the Harmattan season (Dec-Feb), visibility may be reduced by dust haze.
Gulf of Guinea
Expansive views of the deep blue Atlantic Ocean throughout the flight.
Shipping Lanes
Large cargo vessels and tankers anchored near the major ports of Lagos, Accra, and Abidjan.
Ocean Sunset
On late afternoon flights, witness a spectacular sun setting directly over the water horizon.
Best for those seeking a tranquil view or traveling during sunset. If flying late in the day, the glare is less intense on this side as the sun is positioned to the south and west.
