DUS → DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Düsseldorf Airport (Duesseldorf) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a superior mix of diverse landscapes, including the industrial Rhine valley, the distant sprawl of London, the rugged peaks of North Wales, and the scenic Wicklow Mountains upon descent into Dublin.
Rhine River Bend
Immediately after takeoff from DUS, catch the winding Rhine river as it snakes through the North Rhine-Westphalia region.
Distant London
On clear days, as you cross the English Midlands, look south to see the vast grey expanse of the Greater London area.
Snowdonia / Eryri
Dramatic views of the highest peaks in Wales, including Snowdon, as the flight transitions from land to the Irish Sea.
Holyhead Port
A clear view of the major ferry terminal on Holy Island, marking the final point of the British mainland.
Wicklow Mountains
During the final approach, the rolling green and purple hills south of Dublin city provide a classic Irish landscape.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Welsh mountains and the Dublin city skyline during a standard Runway 28 approach. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind the aircraft, illuminating the UK and Irish landscapes perfectly without glare.
Dutch Coastline
Excellent views of the North Sea coastline, including the beaches of Scheveningen and the massive Delta Works projects.
North Sea Wind Farms
Observe the massive arrays of offshore wind turbines rising from the shallow waters between the Netherlands and the UK.
East Anglian Fens
The intricate, geometric patterns of the highly productive agricultural lands in eastern England.
Liverpool & The Mersey
A great perspective of the Liverpool docks, the Mersey Estuary, and the city's iconic waterfront architecture.
Howth Head
The rugged peninsula on the north side of Dublin Bay, often passed closely during the descent into DUB.
The right side is best for coastal geography lovers. Look out for the distinct shape of the Isle of Man to the north while crossing the Irish Sea. For morning flights, this side is preferable as the sun will be on the opposite side, preventing harsh cabin shadows.
