DUBLPL

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side is generally superior for this short hop, offering iconic views of the Liverpool waterfront, the historic docks, and the city's famous football stadiums during the final approach into John Lennon Airport.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

Lambay Island & Ireland's Eye

Visible shortly after departure from DUB, these rocky islands serve as a sanctuary for puffins and seals.

🌊

The Irish Sea

A brief but scenic crossing of the deep blue waters separating Ireland from the United Kingdom.

🏙️

Liverpool Waterfront

A stunning view of the 'Three Graces,' including the Royal Liver Building, as the plane descends over the Mersey.

🏟️

Football Stadiums

Keep an eye out for the red of Anfield and the blue of Goodison Park located just north of the city center.

🚢

Port of Liverpool

Aerial perspective of the massive container terminals and the Seaforth Dock complex.

To get the best view of the Liverpool skyline, choose a seat toward the front of the aircraft to avoid the wing. Since the flight is very short (under 40 minutes), be ready as soon as the descent begins. Evening flights provide spectacular views as the city lights reflect off the River Mersey.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🛥️

Dublin Bay

Panoramic views of the South Dublin coastline, including Dun Laoghaire harbor and Dalkey Island.

🏔️

Snowdonia (Eryri)

On clear days, the high peaks of North Wales, including Snowdon, are visible to the south across the water.

🎡

North Wales Coast

Spot the Great Orme headland at Llandudno and the long piers of the Welsh seaside resorts.

🌉

Runcorn Bridges

As you approach LPL, look for the Silver Jubilee and Mersey Gateway bridges spanning the estuary.

The right side offers the best geographic variety, especially the transition from the Irish coast to the Welsh mountains. During winter, look for snow-capped peaks in Snowdonia. Early morning flights are particularly beautiful on this side as the sun rises over the English mainland.
