Which side of the plane to sit from Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (Bologna) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Lake Geneva
A magnificent view of the entire crescent-shaped lake with the city of Geneva at its western tip.
Swiss Bernese Alps
Panoramic vistas of the Eiger, Mönch, and Jungfrau peaks stretching across the northern horizon.
London Horizon
Depending on the airway, the distant sprawl of London and the Thames Estuary may be visible to the north-east.
Snowdonia National Park
The rugged, dark peaks of North Wales, including Snowdon, before the crossing of the Irish Sea.
Howth Head & Dublin Bay
The iconic 'hook' of Howth and the sweeping North Bull Island are best viewed from this side during the final descent.
The right side is the 'star' for this route, especially for the approach into Dublin. To maximize the Alpine views, try to fly in the middle of the day when the sun is high, illuminating the valleys. If landing from the east, the view of the Irish coastline is unbeatable.
Book Hotels in DublinMont Blanc
The highest peak in the Alps is often visible to the south-west as the flight crosses the border between Italy and France.
Greater Paris
On clear days, the sprawling French capital and the winding Seine River can be spotted as the aircraft heads towards the Channel.
Bristol Channel
Views of the Severn Bridges and the coastline of South Wales as the plane transits towards the Irish Sea.
Dublin City Center
When landing on Runway 28, this side offers a direct look at the Liffey, Phoenix Park, and the city skyline.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun. It is particularly rewarding if the flight path takes a more southerly route over the French Alps, offering a closer look at the massive glaciers.
