Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to London City Airport (London)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side is superior for this route due to the spectacular views of Central London's skyline, including The Shard and Tower Bridge, during the iconic steep approach into London City Airport.

Howth Head
A stunning view of the rugged Dublin peninsula and the Baily Lighthouse immediately after departure.
Snowdonia National Park
As you cross the Irish Sea, the peaks of North Wales are often visible to the north.
The City of London
Unrivaled views of the Gherkin, Walkie Talkie, and the Shard during the low-altitude approach.
Tower of London
The historic fortress is clearly visible just moments before the plane touches down at LCY.
Olympic Park
The ArcelorMittal Orbit and London Stadium are prominent features during the final descent from the west.
Choose the left side for the best chance of seeing Central London. If the wind is from the west (Runway 27), you will fly over the Thames Estuary; if from the east (Runway 09), you get the full 'city tour' over the heart of London. Morning flights provide excellent lighting on the cityscape.
