Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to East Midlands Airport (East Midlands)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers the most dramatic views of the flight, specifically the rugged mountain peaks of Snowdonia National Park and the rolling hills of the Welsh borderlands as you cross from the Irish Sea into England.
Search flights from DUB to EMA
Wicklow Mountains
Beautiful views of the rolling granite peaks south of Dublin shortly after takeoff.
Snowdonia (Eryri)
The highlight of the route, featuring the highest peaks in Wales, often snow-capped in winter.
North Wales Coast
Clear views of the Great Orme at Llandudno and the sandy stretches along the Welsh shoreline.
Cheshire Plain
The transition into England features a patchwork of green fields and quaint villages.
The right side is superior for landscape lovers. Aim for a seat in the late afternoon to catch the sunset over the Irish Sea. Keep your eyes peeled about 15-20 minutes into the flight for the sharp peaks of Snowdon. Seasonal snow in winter makes the Welsh mountains particularly photogenic from this side.

Irish Sea Crossing
A short but scenic transit across the blue waters separating Ireland from Great Britain.
Liverpool Skyline
Excellent views of the Mersey Estuary, the docks, and the iconic city skyline of Liverpool to the north.
Manchester Hub
On clear days, the urban sprawl of Greater Manchester and its towering skyline are visible in the distance.
Dark Peak
The northern, more rugged part of the Peak District National Park featuring dramatic plateaus.
Choose the left side for morning flights to keep the sun behind you for better photography. This side is ideal for spotting the industrial heritage of North West England and the distinct bend of the River Mersey. Sit away from the wing for the clearest view of the landing approach into the East Midlands.
