Monrovia Skyline
A detailed view of the Mesurado River and the urban sprawl of Liberia's capital immediately after takeoff.
Port of Buchanan
Observe the industrial infrastructure of Liberia's second-largest port and the distinct iron ore loading facilities.
San-Pédro
A major Ivorian port city known for its cocoa exports, surrounded by dense coastal greenery.
Abidjan & Ébrié Lagoon
Spectacular views of the 'Paris of West Africa', including the Plateau business district and the sprawling lagoon system.
Elmina and Cape Coast Castles
Historical UNESCO World Heritage forts visible as white dots along the golden Ghanaian shoreline.
Takoradi Port
Views of Ghana's primary oil and gas logistics hub and its busy maritime harbor.
Seat on the left side (typically seats A/B/C) to maximize views of the coastline. For the best photography, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you; afternoon flights will face into the sun, creating glare. During the Harmattan season (December to February), visibility can be reduced by dust, so late morning flights are often clearer. Keep an eye out for the white-washed historic castles as you approach the Ghanaian coast near Cape Coast.

Gulf of Guinea
The vast, deep blue expanse of the Atlantic Ocean stretching toward the horizon.
Offshore Maritime Traffic
Vessels and tankers queued up near major shipping lanes serving the ports of West Africa.
Ocean Sunsets
On late afternoon flights, the right side offers stunning views of the sun dipping into the Atlantic.
The right side is dominated by the Atlantic Ocean for the duration of the flight. While less scenic in terms of landmarks, it is ideal for passengers who prefer a quieter, less distracting flight or those traveling in the afternoon who wish to avoid direct sunlight hitting the cabin windows. Watch for the distinct line where the ocean meets the shore as the plane banks during the final approach into Accra.
