DUB → BRS
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Bristol Airport (Bristol)?
Left Side of the Plane
The Left Side is generally superior on this route, offering the most dramatic transition from the Irish Sea to the rugged peaks of North Wales and the iconic engineering of the Severn Bridges during the descent.

Dublin Bay & Howth
Panoramic views of the Irish coastline and the distinctive Howth Head peninsula immediately after takeoff.
Eryri (Snowdonia)
The highest peaks in Wales are often visible to the North as the flight tracks across the Irish Sea into Welsh airspace.
Severn Bridges
Two massive suspension bridges spanning the Severn Estuary, providing a landmark indicator of the entry into England.
The Wye Valley
Dense woodlands and the winding River Wye marking the scenic border between Wales and Gloucestershire.
Sit on the left for the best mountain views. In the winter months, the peaks of Eryri are often snow-capped, providing a stark contrast to the sea. During descent, look for the 'New' Severn Bridge as it is a primary navigation landmark for pilots approaching BRS from the North.

Dublin & Wicklow
A great view of the Irish capital city and the rolling purple heather of the Wicklow Mountains to the South.
Cardigan Bay
The vast curve of the West Wales coastline, featuring sandy estuaries and remote seaside towns.
South Wales Cities
Bird's-eye views of the urban centers of Cardiff and Newport along the coast of the Bristol Channel.
Somerset Coastline
The seaside resort of Weston-super-Mare and its famous pier are visible just moments before touchdown.
The right side is ideal for urban spotting and coastal geography. On clear days, look for the small islands of Flat Holm and Steep Holm in the middle of the Bristol Channel; they are excellent markers for your proximity to the Somerset coast and Bristol Airport.
