EMA → DUB
Which side of the plane to sit from East Midlands Airport (East Midlands) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular view of the Peak District's rugged moors and a dramatic aerial perspective of Liverpool's historic docks before the coastal approach over Howth.
The Dark Peak
The high, peat-covered moorland and rocky outcrops of the northern Peak District.
Greater Manchester
A distant view of the skyline and the urban sprawl of northern England's industrial heart.
Liverpool Waterfront
Clear views of the Mersey Estuary, the historic Liver Building, and the massive container ports.
Isle of Man
On clear days, the silhouette of the island is visible to the north while crossing the Irish Sea.
Howth Head
A dramatic cliffside approach featuring the Baily Lighthouse as the plane enters Dublin airspace.
Choose the right side for morning flights to avoid sun glare and see the Liverpool docks in high detail. As you approach Dublin, look for the 'Great Orme' headland near Llandudno shortly before the sea crossing begins.
Staffordshire Dales
Rolling green hills and rural English countryside during the initial climb from EMA.
Historic Chester
The distinctive Roman walls and the loop of the River Dee on the Welsh border.
Snowdonia National Park
The sharp, jagged peaks of Eryri, including Snowdon, visible to the south as you reach the coast.
Holyhead Port
The busy ferry terminal at the edge of Anglesey where ships depart for Dublin.
Dublin Bay
Views of the Poolbeg Chimneys and the coastal suburbs of Dun Laoghaire and Dalkey.
Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Irish Sea. During the descent, you will have a better view of the Wicklow Mountains stretching away to the south of the city.
