DUBMUC

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

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side of the aircraft provides a superior vantage point for spotting major European landmarks, including the London urban sprawl, the iconic White Cliffs of Dover, and the breathtaking horizon of the Bavarian Alps during the descent.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

A beautiful view of the 'Garden of Ireland' and Glendalough to the south during the initial climb phase.

🎡

Greater London

Exceptional views of the Thames, the London Eye, and the city's vast skyscrapers when the flight path skirts the capital.

⚪

White Cliffs of Dover

The famous white chalk cliffs of the English coast are a prominent landmark during the English Channel crossing.

🏔️

The Alps Panorama

During the descent into Munich, the snow-capped peaks of the Alps create a majestic southern horizon on clear days.

Sit on the right side for the most iconic views. During winter months, choose an afternoon flight to witness the sun setting over the distant Alps as you descend into Bavaria. Ensure you are seated behind the wing for an unobstructed view of the London cityscape.

Left Side Highlights
7.2
🌊

Dublin Bay

Stunning views of the Irish coastline, Howth Head, and the Bull Island nature reserve shortly after takeoff.

🏔️

Snowdonia National Park

The rugged peaks of North Wales, including Snowdon, are often visible as the aircraft makes its way toward England.

🚢

Rhine River Valley

Aerial views of the winding Rhine River and the industrial landscapes of the Ruhr region as you enter German airspace.

⛪

Munich Skyline

On certain northern approaches into MUC, the left side offers a glimpse of the Olympic Park and the city's historic cathedrals.

The left side is preferable for morning flights to keep the sun behind you, offering better lighting for photography. Look for the Belgian coastline and the port of Antwerp mid-flight.
