Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Blackpool International Airport (Blackpool)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side is significantly better for this short hop, offering a superior view of the Dublin coastline upon departure and a dramatic view of Blackpool's iconic landmarks on the final approach.
Dublin Bay
Sweeping views of Dun Laoghaire harbor and the southern Dublin suburbs immediately after takeoff.
Wicklow Mountains
The rolling green peaks of the Dublin and Wicklow mountains are visible to the south during the climb.
Blackpool Tower
The most famous landmark on the route, appearing prominently as you approach the Fylde coast.
Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Get a bird's eye view of the Big One and other major rollercoasters just before landing.
Lytham St Annes
The prestigious golf courses and the scenic Ribble Estuary visible during the final configuration.
This is the premier side for photography. Request a seat toward the rear of the aircraft to ensure the wing doesn't block your view of the Blackpool Tower. If flying between late August and early January, book an evening flight to see the Blackpool Illuminations from the air—a truly unique spectacle.
Howth Head
Clear views of the rocky peninsula and the Baily Lighthouse as you depart Dublin.
Irish Sea Transit
A vast expanse of water where you can often spot ferries and shipping vessels traveling between the UK and Ireland.
Morecambe Bay
To the north, the massive tidal sandflats of Morecambe Bay are visible during the descent.
Sit on the left if you enjoy seeing the northern Irish coastline during takeoff. In clear weather, you may catch a glimpse of the Isle of Man to the north. Morning flights on this side will avoid direct glare from the sun.
