Which side of the plane to sit from Brussels South Charleroi Airport (Charleroi) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side is generally superior for this route as it offers views of the Thames Estuary, the rugged peaks of Snowdonia in Wales, and a classic approach over Howth Head into Dublin Bay.
Thames Estuary
View the massive industrial ports and wind farms where the River Thames meets the North Sea.
Oxford & The Midlands
Fly over the 'dreaming spires' of Oxford and the patchwork green fields of the English countryside.
Snowdonia National Park
The dramatic mountain ranges of North Wales, including Snowdon, offer the most rugged terrain on the entire flight path.
Dublin Bay & Howth
A spectacular finish as the plane circles over the Irish Sea to align with the runway, passing the cliffs of Howth Head.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to avoid direct sunlight. During the typical westerly landing at Dublin (Runway 28L/R), the right side gets the iconic panoramic view of the coastline and Dublin's northern suburbs.
English Channel
Clear views of the narrow Strait of Dover and the busy shipping lanes connecting the North Sea to the Atlantic.
Greater London
Depending on the specific air traffic corridor, the sprawling southern suburbs and the Shard can often be seen to the north.
Severn Estuary
The impressive bridges connecting England and Wales near Bristol are visible before crossing into the Irish Sea.
Wicklow Mountains
As the plane descends into Dublin, the rolling green hills and granite peaks of the Wicklow range appear to the south.
Sit on the left if you want to see the south coast of Wales and the Wicklow Mountains during the final descent. In the late afternoon, this side will be shaded, providing better conditions for photography without glare.
