Which side of the plane to sit from Eindhoven Airport (Eindhoven) to Ireland West Knock Airport (Connaught)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides the most dramatic views of the North Wales mountains and the historical, lake-dotted landscapes of central Ireland.
North Sea Wind Farms
Enormous arrays of offshore wind turbines visible between the Dutch and UK coasts.
Snowdonia National Park
The rugged, mountainous terrain of North Wales, including the peak of Mount Snowdon.
Anglesey & Menai Strait
The island of Anglesey separated from mainland Wales by the narrow Menai Strait.
The Boyne Valley
A glimpse of Ireland's ancient east, including the historic landscape near Newgrange.
Lough Ree
A massive, island-filled lake on the River Shannon in the heart of the Irish Midlands.
Croagh Patrick
On clear days during the final approach, the iconic conical holy mountain may be visible in the distance.
The right side is superior for mountain enthusiasts, offering clear views of the Welsh Highlands. For the best experience, choose a morning flight to have the sun behind you, illuminating the green patchwork of the Irish countryside and the deep blues of the Shannon lakes. Keep an eye out for the historic Boyne Valley shortly after crossing the Irish coastline.
Dutch Delta Works
Massive flood protection structures visible along the Zeeland coast shortly after takeoff.
Greater London Sprawl
A distant but impressive view of the UK capital's urban landscape to the south.
Wicklow Mountains
The dark, peat-covered peaks of the Dublin and Wicklow mountains upon entering Irish airspace.
The Curragh
The vast, flat emerald-green plains of County Kildare, famous for horse racing.
Atlantic Horizon
As you descend into Knock, the vast Atlantic horizon opens up to the west.
Select the left side for evening departures to experience a beautiful sunset over the Atlantic as you approach Western Ireland. It is also the better side for seeing the intricate Dutch coastline and the engineering marvels of the Delta Works during initial ascent.
