Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

Flying west from Copenhagen, the right side provides a superior panorama of Northern England's national parks, the Isle of Man, and the dramatic cliffs of Howth Head upon arrival in Dublin.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏙️

Copenhagen Skyline

Clear views of the 'City of Spires' and the northern coastline of Zealand shortly after departure.

🌬️

Offshore Wind Farms

Massive arrays of turbines in the North Sea, appearing like white dots on the blue water.

🏞️

Lake District

Stunning views of the rugged fells and deep glacial lakes of Cumbria in Northern England.

🇮🇲

Isle of Man

The distinct shape of the island and Snaefell mountain in the middle of the Irish Sea.

⛳

Howth Head

The rocky peninsula and scenic cliffs marking the northern edge of Dublin Bay just before touchdown.

The right side is ideal for avoiding direct sun glare when flying west. Keep your eyes peeled about 35-45 minutes before landing to spot the English Lake District. This side is also spectacular for sunset flights, as the sun sets over the Atlantic/Ireland ahead and to your right.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌉

Øresund Bridge

The massive bridge-tunnel system connecting Denmark and Sweden is visible immediately after takeoff.

🇩🇰

Southern Danish Islands

Aerial views of the Great Belt Fixed Link and the patchwork fields of Funen.

🏭

Humber Estuary

The industrial coastline and wide river mouth as the flight crosses into Northern England.

⛰️

Peak District

The rolling hills and moors of central England's first national park.

⚓

Dublin Port

A close-up view of the Poolbeg Chimneys and the busy shipping lanes of Dublin Bay during descent.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Øresund Bridge during takeoff. For morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so bring a window shade. On the final approach into Dublin (usually Runway 28), this side offers a better view of the city center and the Wicklow Mountains to the south.
