DUBHHN

Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Frankfurt-Hahn Airport (Hahn)?

Our Recommendation
7.8

Right Side of the Plane

While both sides offer excellent views, the Right Side is preferred for its departure views of the Wicklow Mountains and the scenic approach over the Moselle Valley vineyards near Frankfurt-Hahn.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

Stunning views of the granite peaks and glacial lakes south of Dublin immediately after departure.

🏖️

English Channel

Views of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the southern UK coastline.

🇱🇺

Luxembourg City

The dramatic deep-cut river valleys and fortifications of the city are often visible during the descent.

🍷

Moselle Valley

Famous winding river loops and steep terraced vineyards as the plane enters the Hunsrück region.

🏰

Hunsrück Heights

The forested ridges and small German villages surrounding the Frankfurt-Hahn airport plateau.

The right side is superior for the arrival phase. The descent into Hahn often passes near the Moselle River; keep your camera ready for the steep-sided valley loops. In autumn, the changing colors of the vineyards are particularly vibrant.

🌊

Dublin Bay

Panoramic views of Howth Head and the North Bull Island nature reserve shortly after takeoff.

⛰️

Snowdonia National Park

Clear views of the rugged peaks of North Wales, including Snowdon, across the Irish Sea.

🏙️

London Outskirts

Depending on the airway, the distant skyline of London and the Thames Estuary are often visible.

🇧🇪

Brussels Cityscape

Aerial perspective of the Belgian capital and its surrounding urban sprawl during the mid-flight transit.

🌳

The Ardennes

The dense, rolling green forests of southeastern Belgium and the border regions.

Sit on the left for the best morning light when traveling eastbound, as the sun will be on the opposite side. Look out for the Dutch and Belgian coastlines in the distance during the middle segment of the flight.
