Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Bournemouth Airport (Bournemouth)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the rugged coastline of South Wales, the iconic Severn Estuary, and the spectacular approach over the Jurassic Coast and Poole Harbour.
Wicklow Mountains
The dramatic granite peaks and deep glacial valleys south of Dublin shortly after departure.
St George's Channel
The deep blue waters where the Irish Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean.
Severn Bridges
The massive suspension bridges connecting Wales and England over the Severn Estuary.
Somerset Coast
Views of the Bristol Channel, the Quantock Hills, and the holiday towns of Weston-super-Mare.
Poole Harbour
Incredible views of the world's second-largest natural harbor and Brownsea Island just before landing.
Jurassic Coast
The UNESCO World Heritage site featuring dramatic cliffs and unique geological formations.
The right side is essential for the approach into BOH; the turn over the coast often provides a perfect view of Sandbanks and the Purbeck Hills. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting for photography of the Welsh and Dorset coastlines.
Dublin Bay
Aerial views of Howth Head and the Dublin port area immediately after takeoff.
Snowdonia National Park
The jagged peaks of North Wales, including Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon), visible across the Irish Sea.
The Midlands
Distances views of Birmingham's urban sprawl and the industrial heart of England.
The Cotswolds
The quintessential English countryside featuring rolling limestone hills and honey-colored stone villages.
New Forest
The vast expanse of ancient heathland and woodland north of Bournemouth during the final descent.
Sit on the left for early morning flights to catch the sunrise reflecting off the Irish Sea. On approach, keep an eye out for the distinctive circular pattern of the New Forest's dense tree canopies.
