Which side of the plane to sit from Frankfurt am Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides a superior vantage point for the Dutch coastline, the majestic peaks of North Wales, and the iconic approach over Dublin Bay.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🌲

Taunus Mountains

Immediate views of the forested ridges and the Grosser Feldberg north of Frankfurt.

🚢

Port of Rotterdam

The massive industrial scale and ship traffic of Europe's largest seaport on the Dutch coast.

🌬️

North Sea Wind Farms

Expansive clusters of offshore turbines visible in the North Sea between the Netherlands and the UK.

🏔️

Snowdonia

The dramatic, jagged peaks of the Welsh highlands, often capped with clouds or snow.

🌊

Dublin Bay

A stunning panoramic view of Howth Head and the northern Irish coastline during the final approach.

Ideal for evening flights to catch the sunset over the Irish Sea. Keep your camera ready as you cross the Welsh coast for the best mountain photography.

🍷

Rhine River

A winding view of the Rhine as you depart Frankfurt, passing Mainz and Wiesbaden.

🏰

Ardennes Forest

The rolling green hills and deep valleys of the Belgian border region to the south.

🎡

Greater London

A distant glimpse of the UK capital's vast urban sprawl if the flight path stays southerly.

🌉

Severn Estuary

The wide mouth of the River Severn and the bridges connecting England and Wales.

⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

The rugged granite peaks south of Dublin visible during the descent into the airfield.

Best for morning flights to avoid the glare of the southern sun. On the final approach to Dublin, look south to spot the distinctive Great Sugar Loaf mountain.
