Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic peaks of Eryri (Snowdonia) and the iconic Poolbeg Chimneys when entering Dublin Bay.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🏙️

Birmingham Skyline

A brief view of the Bullring and city center as the plane climbs westward over the Midlands.

⛰️

Snowdonia National Park

Rugged peaks including Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) are visible shortly after crossing the Welsh border.

🌊

Irish Sea Crossing

Deep blue waters and ferry routes connecting Holyhead to the Irish capital often visible from cruising altitude.

🏭

Poolbeg Chimneys

Dublin's iconic red-and-white striped towers standing tall at the mouth of the River Liffey.

For the clearest views of the Welsh mountains, book a morning flight to have the sun behind you. If the wind is from the west, the left side offers the best views of the Dublin city coastline during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏖️

North Wales Coastline

Aerial views of Llandudno's Great Orme and the popular seaside resorts along the northern coast.

🌉

Menai Strait

The narrow channel of water separating mainland Wales from the Isle of Anglesey and its suspension bridges.

🏝️

Lambay Island

A volcanic island known for its wallaby colony, visible north of the flight path just before touchdown.

⛰️

Howth Head

The rugged cliffs and Baily Lighthouse of the Howth peninsula marking the northern edge of Dublin Bay.

The right side is ideal for capturing the northern curve of the Irish coast. During summer evening flights, you may catch a spectacular sunset over the Irish Sea while approaching Dublin.
