DUB β†’ JER

Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Jersey Airport (Jersey)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a more consistent view of the dramatic Irish coastline upon departure and the picturesque Channel Islands during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ”οΈ

Wicklow Mountains

Immediately after takeoff from DUB, look south to see the rolling peaks and deep valleys of the 'Garden of Ireland'.

🌊

St George's Channel

Expansive views of the turquoise waters where the Irish Sea meets the Atlantic Ocean.

πŸ–οΈ

Pembrokeshire Coast

Clear views of the rugged Welsh coastline and the secluded bays of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.

🏝️

Guernsey & Herm

Excellent aerial perspective of Jersey's neighbor islands during the descent into the Channel archipelago.

🏰

Mont Orgueil Castle

Depending on the landing pattern, views of the iconic medieval fortress guarding the eastern coast of Jersey.

Sit on the left for the best views of the Wicklow Mountains during departure. For the most scenic arrival, morning flights provide the best light on the Welsh coast and the approach past Guernsey. Watch for the change in water color as you enter the shallower waters of the Channel Islands.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
πŸ™οΈ

Dublin Bay

A sweeping view of the Irish capital's coastline, including Howth Head and the Bull Island sandbar.

🚀

Lundy Island

A remote granite outcrop in the Bristol Channel known for its puffin colonies and lighthouse.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Cornish Peninsula

Spot the western tip of England, including the distinctive silhouette of Land's End and St Ives.

πŸŒ…

St Ouen's Bay

The massive sandy sweep of Jersey's west coast is often visible during the final turn for landing.

The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to avoid the direct southern sun. It offers a better chance to see the Cornish coast if the flight path tracks slightly further west. Keep an eye out for the Corbière Lighthouse as the plane maneuvers near the island's southwest corner.
