DUB → FRA
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the dramatic Snowdonia mountain range in Wales, the lush Ardennes forest, and the iconic winding Rhine River with its historic castles.
Snowdonia National Park
The rugged peaks of North Wales, including Snowdon, provide a dramatic start to the crossing.
The Ardennes
Dense, rolling forest canopies across Belgium and the German border region.
The Rhine Valley
World-famous views of the winding Rhine river, featuring steep vineyards and medieval castles.
Frankfurt Skyline
A close-up view of 'Mainhattan' and its skyscrapers during the final approach into FRA.
The Rhine Valley is the undisputed star of this route; watch for it about 20-30 minutes before landing. In autumn, the forest colors in the Ardennes are spectacular. Morning flights provide the best illumination for the Welsh mountains.
Dublin Bay
Aerial view of Howth Head and the Dublin port area immediately after takeoff.
Liverpool & Manchester
Distant views of the major northern English cities as the plane crosses the UK.
Dutch Coastline
Depending on the wind-adjusted route, views of the intricate Dutch polders and delta works.
The Ruhr Valley
The industrial heartland of Germany, visible as you transition into German airspace.
Look out early for the Irish coastline. This side is often better for avoiding direct glare if flying in the early afternoon, making it easier to spot the distant city lights of the UK midlands.
