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