Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Henri Coandă International Airport (Bucharest)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior panoramic experience, featuring iconic views of London, the snow-capped Austrian and Bavarian Alps to the south, the expansive turquoise waters of Lake Balaton in Hungary, and the most dramatic ridges of the Southern Carpathians during the descent into Romania.
London Skyline
Clear views of the Thames Estuary and the sprawling London metropolitan area.
The Alps
Distinguished views of the Bavarian and Austrian Alps visible on the southern horizon.
Lake Balaton
The striking turquoise expanse of Central Europe's largest lake in Hungary.
Southern Carpathians
Dramatic close-up views of the Făgăraș and Bucegi mountain ranges during the descent.
Bucharest Suburbs
A view of the northern lakes and growing skyline of Bucharest on final approach.
Book a window seat on the right for the best mountain views. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the Alps and Carpathians. Be aware that during peak summer, the midday sun can be intense on this side, so keep the window blind down until reaching the Austrian border for the best views.
Dublin Bay
Aerial views of Howth Head and the Dublin coastline immediately after departure.
Low Countries
The intricate network of canals and wind farms along the Dutch and Belgian coastlines.
German Heartlands
The patchwork fields and dense forests of central Germany and the Rhine valley.
Transylvanian Plateau
Rolling hills and the distinct layout of Saxon fortified villages in central Romania.
Opt for a seat in front of the wing to ensure an unobstructed view of the Benelux coastline. If flying in the late afternoon, this side provides beautiful soft light on the Transylvanian hills without the harsh glare of the setting sun found on the right.
