AHO โ†’ DUB

Which side of the plane to sit from Alghero-Fertilia Airport (Alghero) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Our Recommendation
8.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior departure sequence past the dramatic limestone cliffs of Capo Caccia and generally provides better views of the Welsh mountains and the final approach over Dublin Bay.

Sit on the right for the best departure views of Sardinia's Coral Riviera. As you approach Dublin, the right side typically offers the best view of the city and the iconic Poolbeg chimneys if the aircraft lands on Runway 28L/R, which is the most common configuration.
