DUB → NCL
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Newcastle Airport (Newcastle)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic mountain scenery of the Lake District and the rugged moorlands of the North Pennines before the final approach into Newcastle.
Howth Peninsula
Immediately after takeoff, witness the dramatic cliffs and lighthouse of the Howth Head northern coastline.
Isle of Man
A clear day offers a glimpse of Snaefell and the mountainous silhouette of this island in the middle of the Irish Sea.
Lake District
The highlight of the route, featuring views of Windermere, Derwentwater, and the peaks of Scafell Pike.
North Pennines
The 'backbone of England' appears as expansive, desolate moorlands during the initial descent into the North East.
For the best views of the Cumbrian mountains, select a seat ahead of the wing to avoid engine heat haze. Afternoon flights are ideal on this side as the sun will be behind or to the south, illuminating the peaks clearly without glare.
Dublin City and Bay
A wide view of the Liffey, the Poolbeg chimneys, and the sprawling Dublin suburbs as you climb out over the sea.
Blackpool Coastline
The iconic Blackpool Tower and the illuminated 'Golden Mile' are often visible along the Lancashire coast to the south.
Yorkshire Dales
Views of the rolling green valleys and limestone scars of the Dales National Park as the aircraft crosses Northern England.
River Tyne
On the final approach, the winding River Tyne and the historic industrial landscape of the Tyne Valley come into focus.
The right side is excellent for seeing the urban sprawl of Northern England. If the flight approaches Newcastle from the east over the North Sea, this side provides a stunning view of the Tynemouth Priory and the coast.
