DUB → HAM
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Hamburg Airport (Hamburg)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior perspective of Dublin city during takeoff, the rolling landscapes of the English Midlands, and the spectacular winding path of the Elbe River leading directly into the heart of Hamburg.
Search flights from DUB to HAM
Dublin City Center
Depending on departure direction, see the Liffey River, Trinity College, and the sprawl of the Irish capital.
Snowdonia & North Wales
Clear days offer views of the highest peaks in Wales as the flight path skirts the northern Welsh coast.
The Peak District
Observe the green, rolling hills and limestone valleys of central England as you transit toward the North Sea.
Elbe Estuary
A highlight of the flight: watching the massive Elbe River transition from the sea into a bustling shipping lane.
Port of Hamburg
Stunning views of one of Europe's largest container ports, including massive cranes and cargo ships.
Sit on the right for the iconic 'Elbe Approach'. Most flights into Hamburg follow the river inland; the right side provides the best views of Cuxhaven, the river traffic, and the massive industrial port area. Be aware that on morning flights (Eastbound), the sun will be on this side, which can cause glare; afternoon flights offer much better visibility.

Howth Head & Dublin Bay
Immediately after takeoff, enjoy the rugged cliffs of the Howth peninsula and the expansive blue of Dublin Bay.
Isle of Man
Midway across the Irish Sea, the mountainous silhouette of the Isle of Man is often visible to the North.
The Lake District
Distant views of the Cumbrian mountains and England's largest national park as you cross the UK coastline.
North Frisian Islands
As you approach the German coast, look for the unique chain of islands and the Wadden Sea mudflats.
Northern Hamburg & Alster
On final approach, view the residential districts and the Outer Alster Lake before touching down.
The left side is excellent for catching the North Frisian Islands near the German border. For the best lighting, fly in the afternoon when the sun is to the South, illuminating the islands and the North Sea coast. If the plane approaches from the East, you will get a great view of the Outer Alster Lake just before landing.
