DUBDUS

Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers more dramatic geographic features, including the Welsh mountains and a superior view of the Rhine and Düsseldorf's skyline during approach.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏔️

Snowdonia / Eryri

The highest peaks in Wales offer a rugged contrast to the Irish Sea crossing shortly after takeoff.

🏰

Antwerp & Brussels

The urban sprawl and historical landmarks of Belgium's major cities are visible during the cruise phase.

💧

The Rhine River

The flight follows or crosses the silver ribbon of the Rhine as it approaches the Düsseldorf region.

🏙️

Düsseldorf City Skyline

Perfect views of the Rheinturm (Rhine Tower) and the Media Harbour during the descent into DUS.

🏗️

Messe Düsseldorf

A clear aerial perspective of the massive exhibition grounds located right next to the airport.

Request a seat behind the wing for the best photography of the Rhine river. On clear winter days, the snow-capped Welsh mountains are a highlight. For the best Düsseldorf city views, hope for a landing from the southwest (Runway 05R/L).

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Dublin Bay & Howth

A beautiful view of the Irish coastline and the Howth peninsula immediately after departure from DUB.

⛰️

The Peak District

The rolling hills and green landscapes of northern England are visible as the flight traverses the UK.

🚢

Port of Rotterdam

On a clear day, the massive logistics infrastructure and shipping lanes of the Dutch coast are visible to the north.

🏭

Ruhr Area Landscape

A sprawling view of the industrial heartland of Germany, featuring dense urban clusters and green parklands.

Ideal for morning flights as the sun remains to the south, providing better lighting for photography. Look for the large offshore wind farms when crossing from the UK to the Netherlands.
