ROB → ACC
Which side of the plane to sit from Roberts International Airport (Monrovia) to Kotoka International Airport (Accra)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic West African coastline, including the architectural skyline of Abidjan, the vast Ebrié Lagoon, and the lush forests of Liberia and Ivory Coast.

Upper Guinean Forests
Dense, vibrant green rainforest canopies of southeastern Liberia visible shortly after departure.
Abidjan Skyline
Clear views of the Plateau district's skyscrapers, often called the 'Manhattan of Africa,' as you cross Ivory Coast.
Ébrié Lagoon
A massive, 130km long lagoon system that weaves through the urban fabric of Abidjan.
Port of San Pedro
Detailed views of the world's leading cocoa exporting port located in southwestern Ivory Coast.
Cape Three Points
The southernmost tip of Ghana, where the land juts sharply into the Atlantic Ocean.
Sekondi-Takoradi
Aerial perspective of Ghana's 'Oil City' and its industrial deep-water harbor infrastructure.
Choose a window seat in the forward section or well behind the wing to capture the Abidjan skyline. Morning flights are preferred as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the coastline without glare. During the Harmattan season (December to February), visibility can be reduced by dust, so late morning flights after the haze lifts are best.

Gulf of Guinea
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Atlantic and the curved horizon of the West African bight.
Offshore Oil Rigs
Spotting the lights or structures of the Jubilee and TEN oil fields as you approach the Ghanaian coast.
Shipping Lanes
A steady stream of tankers and cargo vessels queuing for entry into Abidjan and Takoradi ports.
Coastal Surf Line
The white foam of the Atlantic swell breaking against the gold and red sands of the Gulf of Guinea.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct glare of the southern sun. Keep an eye out for offshore petroleum platforms as you enter Ghanaian airspace. While mostly ocean, the reflections during sunset flights can be spectacular as the light bounces off the Gulf of Guinea.
