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

Our Recommendation

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

A spectacular view of Ireland's largest continuous upland area, featuring deep glacial valleys and rounded granite peaks.

🏝️

Anglesey and Menai Strait

Clear views of the Welsh island of Anglesey, the Menai suspension bridges, and the rocky coastline as you enter UK airspace.

🏔️

Eryri (Snowdonia)

The most dramatic portion of the flight, offering sights of Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) and the rugged mountain ranges of North Wales.

🏗️

Midlands Sprawl

Views of the industrial heartlands around Birmingham and the sprawling urban landscape of the West Midlands.

🌳

Chiltern Hills

As the plane prepares to land at Luton, you will glide over the lush, wooded landscapes of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

This side is the winner for mountain enthusiasts. For evening flights, the right side provides a beautiful sunset view over the Irish Sea. Keep an eye out for the M1 motorway during final approach, which serves as a primary visual marker for the airport location.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Dublin Bay and Howth

A stunning view of the rugged Howth Head peninsula and the deep blue waters of the Irish Sea immediately after takeoff.

🎡

North West Coastline

Depending on the flight path, you may spot the distant outline of the Blackpool Tower and the Fylde coast across the water.

⛰️

The Peak District

Bird's-eye views of the rolling green hills and dark gritstone moors of Derbyshire as the plane traverses the English Midlands.

🏙️

Milton Keynes Grid

The unique and easily identifiable American-style grid layout of Milton Keynes is often visible during the initial descent phase.

Choose a seat in front of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Dublin coastline. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you, providing excellent clarity for photographing the English countryside and the Peak District.
