NYI → ACC
Which side of the plane to sit from Sunyani Airport (Sunyani) to Kotoka International Airport (Accra)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers superior views of the verdant Atewa Range and the iconic Aburi hills during the final descent into Accra.
Bono Forest Canopy
Dense tropical forest views immediately after takeoff from Sunyani.
Atewa Range
Lush, high-altitude evergreen forest ridges visible in the Eastern Region.
Aburi Highlands
Picturesque residential areas and steep ridges nestled in the cool mountains.
University of Ghana
The sprawling white-walled, red-roofed campus of Legon during the final approach.
East Legon Skyline
A clear view of one of Accra's most affluent and rapidly developing neighborhoods.
Book an early morning flight to avoid the midday haze and see the mist rising over the Atewa forests. Seats in front of the wing provide the best unobstructed views of the Aburi botanical area during the descent.
Pra River
The winding brown waters of the Pra River snaking through the southern forest zone.
Cocoa Plantations
A patchwork of agricultural plots that form the heart of Ghana's cocoa production.
Kwahu Escarpment
Distant views of the famous plateau cliffs to the north-east.
Achimota Forest
One of the last remaining green lungs of Accra visible just before landing.
Atlantic Horizon
The shimmering blue line of the Gulf of Guinea appearing as the aircraft aligns with the runway.
The right side is better for afternoon flights as it stays away from the direct glare of the setting sun. Keep an eye out for the distinct transition from the dense forest to the coastal savannah vegetation.
