FMMDUB

Which side of the plane to sit from Memmingen Allgau Airport (Memmingen) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers a stunning panorama of the Bavarian Alps shortly after takeoff, followed by views of the English south coast and an iconic perspective of Dublin city center during the standard westerly approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.5
🏔️

Bavarian Alps

Just after departure from Memmingen, look south for a magnificent view of the snow-capped German and Austrian peaks including the Zugspitze.

🌊

English Channel

Aerial view of the busy shipping lanes and the transition from the European mainland to the British Isles.

🏝️

Isle of Wight

The distinct diamond-shaped island off the south coast of England is often visible as the flight path skirts the UK coastline.

🌉

Bristol Channel

Views of the Severn Estuary and the coastline of Somerset and Devon as you cross toward the Irish Sea.

🏙️

Dublin City Center

On the most common landing approach (Runway 28L), this side provides a direct view of the River Liffey, St Stephen's Green, and the city core.

Sit on the left for the best mountain views immediately after takeoff. For landing in Dublin, if the wind is from the west (typical), the left side faces the city center. Morning flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you or to the south, illuminating the landmarks clearly without glare.

Right Side Highlights
7.8
🏰

The Rhine Valley

Look down as you cross Western Germany to see the winding Rhine River and its historic riverside towns.

🌲

Ardennes Forest

Dense greenery and rolling hills spanning across Luxembourg and Belgium.

🗼

London Horizon

On exceptionally clear days, you can spot the distant skyline of London and the Thames Estuary to the north.

⛰️

Snowdonia / Eryri

The rugged, mountainous terrain of North Wales, including the peak of Snowdon, as the plane heads toward the Irish Sea.

⚓

Howth Head

As you descend into Dublin, the right side offers a beautiful view of the peninsula and the northern curve of Dublin Bay.

The right side is perfect for capturing the rugged beauty of the Welsh mountains. During the descent into DUB, this side provides a great view of the northern coastline and Howth. Note that evening flights may experience some glare from the setting sun on this side.
