DXB → DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from Dubai International Airport (Dubai) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most consistent scenic variety, including the Persian Gulf coastline, the rugged Anatolian Plateau, and the transition across the Black Sea and Central Europe without the direct glare of the southern sun.

The World Islands
A clear aerial perspective of the artificial archipelago off the coast of Dubai.
Zagros Mountains
Dramatic, folded mountain ridges visible along the border regions of Iran and Iraq.
Anatolian Plateau
The vast, rugged terrain of central Turkey, often featuring snow-covered peaks in winter.
Black Sea Coast
The scenic coastline where the Turkish mountains meet the deep blue waters of the Black Sea.
Carpathian Mountains
The dense forests and curved mountain ranges stretching across Romania and Slovakia.
English Channel
Views of heavy shipping traffic and the transition from mainland Europe to the British Isles.
The right side is the 'cool' side of the aircraft for this route, meaning you avoid direct sunlight, making it easier to take photos. It offers superior views of the Turkish highlands and the North Sea/English Channel crossing. In winter, look for the spectacular snow cover across Eastern Europe.

Dubai Skyline
Unrivaled views of the Burj Khalifa and Downtown Dubai shortly after takeoff from DXB.
Euphrates River
The winding historical waters of the Euphrates visible as the flight crosses Iraq.
The Austrian Alps
Distal but majestic views of the snow-capped southern Alpine peaks during the European transit.
Rhine Valley
The industrial heartland and scenic river bends of Germany and the Benelux region.
Dublin City
A prime view of Dublin's city center and the Liffey river during the final approach into Runway 28.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the Burj Khalifa during the initial climb. However, be prepared for significant sun glare for the majority of the westbound journey across Europe. This side is also preferred for seeing the city of Dublin itself if the wind dictates a standard westerly landing.
