AUH → DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Abu Dhabi International Airport (Abu Dhabi) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior vantage point for the Mesopotamian river systems, the rugged Taurus Mountains of Turkey, and a high probability of seeing the snow-capped Alps during the transit across Europe.
Search flights from AUH to DUB
Mesopotamian Basin
Aerial views of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers winding through the fertile crescent of Iraq.
Taurus Mountains
Dramatic limestone peaks and deep valleys as the flight crosses Southern Turkey.
The European Alps
Breathtaking panoramas of snow-dusted peaks if the flight path tracks over Austria or Switzerland.
Greater London
On many routes, you will get a clear view of the Thames and the sprawling London metropolis.
Irish Coastline
The final approach offers views of the lush green fields of County Wicklow and South Dublin.
For morning departures, the sun will be on the left side, so keep your window shade down during the first half of the flight to avoid glare. Seat yourself forward of the wing to ensure the engine does not block your view of the Alps. This side is particularly scenic during the descent into Dublin if the aircraft approaches from the south.

Persian Gulf
Excellent views of the turquoise waters and coastal developments immediately after takeoff from Abu Dhabi.
Anatolian Plateau
The high-altitude, rolling steppe landscapes of central and northern Turkey.
Black Sea Coast
Look out for the transition from the Turkish coastline into the deep blue of the Black Sea.
North Sea
Views of busy shipping lanes and massive offshore wind farms near the Netherlands and UK.
Howth Head
A stunning view of the rugged cliffs and lighthouse at the edge of Dublin Bay during the final approach.
The right side is the 'cool' side for morning westbound flights, offering soft lighting for photography without direct sunlight. It is the best side for spotting the northern coast of Turkey and the vastness of the North Sea. Watch for the dramatic change from the arid Middle East to the vibrant greens of Northern Europe.
