Our Recommendation
8.7

Left Side of the Plane

The left side of the aircraft offers an unparalleled view of the complex Niger Delta ecosystem and the dramatic coastline of the Bight of Benin as you approach Lagos.

Left Side Highlights
8.7
🌊

Niger Delta Waterways

Observe the intricate maze of winding rivers, creeks, and mangrove swamps that define the southern coast.

🏖️

Gulf of Guinea Coastline

Follow the continuous line of sandy beaches where the Atlantic Ocean meets the tropical forest.

🏙️

Lekki Peninsula

View the rapid urban expansion of Lagos, including the massive Eko Atlantic land reclamation project.

🛶

Lagos Lagoon

A stunning aerial view of the lagoon, the Third Mainland Bridge, and the bustling maritime activity.

⚓

Offshore Infrastructure

Spot distant oil platforms and cargo ships anchored in the deep waters of the Bight of Benin.

For the best visibility of the Niger Delta, choose a morning flight to avoid the midday haze. During the landing phase at LOS, the left side usually provides a spectacular view of the Lagos Island skyline and the Atlantic coast. Be mindful that during Harmattan (December-February), coastal views remain clearer than inland views due to sea breezes clearing the dust.

Right Side Highlights
6.4
🏟️

Uyo Cityscape

Catch a glimpse of the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium and the organized layout of Uyo upon departure.

🌳

Tropical Forest Canopy

Look down upon the dense green carpets of the southern Nigerian rainforest zone.

🛣️

East-West Road

Follow the primary transit artery that connects the major industrial hubs of the South-South region.

🏢

Lagos Mainland Urbanity

Experience the sheer scale of Lagos's population density as you fly over Ikeja and Alimosho before touchdown.

The right side is preferable for afternoon flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. It offers a more detailed look at the inland urban sprawl and the industrial outskirts of Lagos during the final descent into Murtala Muhammed International Airport.
