BOJDUB

Which side of the plane to sit from Burgas Airport (Bourgas) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers superior views of the Black Sea coastline at takeoff, the winding Danube River, and a more direct view of major European capitals like Budapest and the iconic approach into Dublin Bay.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Burgas Bay

Excellent views of the Black Sea coast, Sunny Beach, and Nesebar immediately after takeoff.

🛤️

The Danube River

Frequent sightings of the massive river as it forms the border between Bulgaria and Romania.

🇭🇺

Budapest

A spectacular view of the Hungarian capital and its distinctive bridges over the Danube.

🏢

Frankfurt am Main

The high-rise skyline of Germany's financial hub is often visible during the transition over Western Europe.

⛵

Dublin Bay

If landing from the east, you get a premier view of Howth Head and the Dublin coastline.

The right side is ideal for avoiding direct sunlight on westbound flights, keeping your window cool and glare-free. Watch closely about 90 minutes into the flight for the best views of the Hungarian plains and the Danube bend.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
⛰️

Balkan Mountains

Dramatic views of the Stara Planina range crossing central Bulgaria shortly after departure.

🏙️

Sofia Skyline

A distant view of the Bulgarian capital framed by the Vitosha Mountain to the south.

🏔️

Northern Alps

Panoramic views of the Austrian and German Alpine foothills during the mid-flight cruise.

🌃

London Overview

On clear days, the southern outskirts of London and the Thames estuary are visible during descent.

🌊

St George's Channel

The final crossing of the Irish Sea before making landfall on the Emerald Isle.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Balkan interior, but be aware of significant sun glare during afternoon flights as you travel westward. In winter, the snow-capped Alpine peaks to the south are a highlight.
