DUB → EXT
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Exeter International Airport (Exeter)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular vantage point for the Wicklow Mountains shortly after takeoff and a beautiful descent over the rugged North Devon coastline and Exe Estuary.
Wicklow Mountains
Breathtaking views of Ireland's largest continuous upland area and its deep glacial valleys.
Wexford Coastline
The long sandy beaches of Curracloe and the Hook Peninsula are often visible before the sea crossing.
Lundy Island
A tiny, rugged island sitting at the mouth of the Bristol Channel, known for its puffin population.
Exmoor National Park
High moorland and dramatic sea cliffs where the plateau meets the Bristol Channel.
Exe Estuary
A stunning view of the wetlands and winding river channels during the final approach into EXT.
The right side is the prime choice for seeing the Irish wilderness after departure. During the approach to Exeter, you'll get a better view of the Jurassic Coast's western edge and the scenic Exe Estuary. Late afternoon flights offer warm lighting on the Devon hills.
Dublin Bay & Howth Head
Clear views of the iconic peninsula and the crescent-shaped bay during the initial climb.
Snowdonia National Park
On clear days, look across the Irish Sea to spot the jagged peaks of North Wales and Mount Snowdon.
Cardigan Bay
The sweeping curve of the Welsh coastline and its various seaside towns are visible mid-flight.
Bristol Channel
Aerial perspective of the busy shipping lanes and the narrowing channel between Wales and England.
The Somerset Levels
Lush, low-lying landscapes and a network of drainage channels as the plane turns toward Exeter.
Sit on the left for morning flights to keep the sun behind you. This side provides the best view of the Welsh coast and is ideal for spotting the Glastonbury Tor in the distance during the final descent.
