AMS → DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (Amsterdam) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Dutch polders during departure and the dramatic mountain peaks of North Wales before the final descent into Dublin.
Dutch Polder Landscape
Intricate patterns of canals, fields, and windmills unique to the Netherlands during the initial climb from Schiphol.
Norfolk Broads
The sparkling network of rivers and lakes in East Anglia is highly visible from cruising altitude.
Snowdonia National Park
Stunning views of the rugged mountain ranges and glacial valleys of North Wales, including Mount Snowdon.
Lambay Island
A distinct volcanic island sanctuary off the Irish coast, often seen just minutes before landing at DUB.
The right side is the scenic winner for this route, especially over the UK mainland. For the best photography of the Welsh mountains, choose a late afternoon flight when the western sun creates high-contrast shadows on the peaks. Be sure to look out for the IJsselmeer right after takeoff from Amsterdam.
North Sea Coastline
Aerial views of the Dutch coast and the vast expanse of the North Sea as the aircraft levels out.
Port of Felixstowe
The massive container ships and colorful docks of one of the UK's busiest ports are visible upon entering British airspace.
London Horizon
On exceptionally clear days, the distant silhouette of London's skyscrapers can be spotted to the south.
Dublin Bay
A close-up view of the Poolbeg chimneys and the historic Dublin port as the flight makes its final approach.
Sit on the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight glare. This side is particularly rewarding if the aircraft approaches Dublin from the south, offering a full panorama of the city and the Wicklow Mountains.
