GDNDUB

Which side of the plane to sit from Gdańsk Lech Wałęsa Airport (Gdansk) to Dublin Airport (Dublin)?

Our Recommendation
8.5

Right Side of the Plane

The right side provides exceptional views of the Northern European coastlines, featuring the unique sandbars of Poland, the Frisian Islands, and the Isle of Man.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
🏖️

Hel Peninsula

The iconic 35km long sandbar separating the Bay of Puck from the Baltic Sea.

🏝️

Frisian Islands

A stunning chain of islands along the German and Dutch coasts surrounded by the Wadden Sea.

🌊

The North Sea

Expansive views of offshore wind farms and shipping lanes between the EU and UK.

⛳

Isle of Man

Distinct view of the island's coastline and Snaefell mountain in the middle of the Irish Sea.

🏰

Howth Head

The rugged cliffs and lighthouse of the Dublin peninsula during the final approach.

The right side is superior for coastal geography. Look out approximately 45-60 minutes into the flight for the Dutch islands. For the best lighting, choose a morning flight to keep the sun behind you. This side offers the best views of the Irish Sea crossing and the dramatic cliffs of Howth before landing.

Left Side Highlights
7.5
🏙️

Gdańsk & Sopot

Aerial view of the historic Old Town and the famous Sopot pier shortly after takeoff.

🚜

Kashubian Lake District

A mosaic of post-glacial lakes and dense forests in Northern Poland.

🚢

Hamburg & Elbe River

The sprawling port of Hamburg, one of Europe's largest, visible as you cross into Germany.

🌆

Manchester & Liverpool

Industrial and urban landscapes as the flight traverses the North of England.

⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

The lush green peaks of Ireland south of the airport during the descent into Dublin.

Sit on the left for city views. On evening flights, this side faces south, offering warmer light and views of the sunset over the wing. During the Dublin approach, the left side often gets a better view of the city center if the aircraft follows the southern landing pattern.
