DUBPUY

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

Our Recommendation
8.9

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a superior panorama including the English south coast, the high peaks of the French and Swiss Alps, and a spectacular approach past Venice into the Istrian peninsula.

Right Side Highlights
8.9
🌊

English Channel

Views of the busy shipping lanes and the white cliffs of the southern English coast.

🗼

Parisian Basin

On clear days, the distinct layout of the Paris metropolitan area can be seen in the distance.

🏔️

Mont Blanc & High Alps

Spectacular views of the highest peaks in Europe, including the Mont Blanc massif.

🏞️

Italian Lakes

Glances of Lake Como or Lake Garda nestled at the foot of the mountains.

🎭

Venice Lagoon

The unmistakable 'S' shape of the Grand Canal and the islands of the Venetian lagoon.

🏖️

Brijuni Islands

A cluster of beautiful islands just off the coast of Pula during the final landing phase.

This is the premier side for spotting Venice. On clear days, you can see the entire lagoon before the turn toward Pula. Aim for a morning flight to have the sun behind you, which perfectly illuminates the high Alps and the Italian lakes. Ensure you are seated forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Adriatic coastline.

🇮🇪

Dublin Bay

Aerial view of the Irish capital and the iconic Poolbeg Chimneys upon departure.

⛰️

Snowdonia National Park

Rugged peaks and valleys of North Wales visible shortly after crossing the Irish Sea.

🏙️

London Metropolitan Area

A wide-angle view of the Greater London sprawl and the Thames Estuary.

🏔️

Swiss Alps

The dramatic northern limestone ridges of the Swiss Alpine range.

🌲

Julian Alps

Dense forests and sharp limestone peaks of Slovenia as the flight begins its descent.

Choose the left for views of the Welsh mountains and the northern Alpine fringe. In the afternoon, this side is shaded from the sun, making photography of the Slovenian Julian Alps easier. Watch for the Istrian interior's rolling hills during the final approach.
