DUB β VNO
Which side of the plane to sit from Dublin Airport (Dublin) to Vilnius International Airport (Vilnius)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior view of the diverse European coastlines, featuring the Welsh mountains, the Frisian Islands, and the stunning Curonian Spit during the final approach into Lithuania.
Snowdonia National Park
The highest peaks in Wales are often visible shortly after clearing the Irish Sea.
Frisian Islands
A unique chain of barrier islands stretching along the Dutch and German coasts.
GdaΕsk Bay
The industrial port and the prominent Hel Peninsula curving into the Baltic Sea.
Curonian Spit
A dramatic 98km long sand-dune spit that is a UNESCO World Heritage site near the border.
Lithuanian Forests
Dense, deep green pine and birch forests that dominate the landscape on descent.
Neris River
The winding river that guides the plane into the heart of the Lithuanian capital.
The highlight of the trip is the Curonian Spit, which is best viewed from the right side about 30-40 minutes before landing. In the morning, expect bright sunlight on this side. During the final descent into VNO, keep an eye out for the distinct red-roofed buildings of Vilnius's outskirts nestled between forests.
Howth Head
A clear view of the Dublin coastline and the Irish Sea immediately after departure.
The Lake District
If the flight path is northerly, the rugged peaks of England's premier national park are visible.
North Sea Wind Farms
Vast arrays of offshore wind turbines dotting the blue expanse between the UK and Denmark.
Jutland Peninsula
The northern reaches of Denmark where the North Sea transitions into the Baltic.
Southern Sweden
The agricultural landscape of the Scania region and the bridge connecting to Copenhagen.
Gotland Island
Sweden's largest island visible in the center of the Baltic Sea during mid-flight.
Sit on this side for more consistent lighting during afternoon flights to avoid direct sun glare. Look out for the Swedish coastline approximately 90 minutes into the flight. This side is ideal for spotting the deep blue of the Baltic Sea and the scattered islands of Scandinavia.
