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

Our Recommendation
8.4

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the urban landscapes of Northern England, including Manchester and Liverpool, and offers the iconic aerial perspective of Dublin city and the Wicklow Mountains during the final approach.

Left Side Highlights
8.4
🏙️

Manchester Metro

A sprawling view of the Greater Manchester area and its distinct industrial architecture.

⚽

Liverpool Waterfront

Spot the historic docks and the famous football stadiums of Anfield and Goodison Park near the Mersey.

🛳️

River Mersey

The wide estuary where the river meets the Irish Sea, often filled with cargo ships.

🇮🇪

Dublin City Center

A clear view of the River Liffey bisecting the city and the Spire on O'Connell Street.

⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

The rolling green peaks south of Dublin, visible during the descent into DUB.

Sit on the left for the best views of the 'Emerald Isle' arrival. Afternoon flights are ideal as the sun will be behind you or to the south, illuminating the UK and Irish landscapes perfectly. Keep an eye out for the Peak District national park shortly after crossing the English coast.

Right Side Highlights
8.1
🌊

Steinhuder Meer

Lower Saxony's largest lake, visible immediately after departure from Hannover.

🏝️

Frisian Islands

The unique chain of barrier islands and tidal flats along the Dutch and German coast.

⚙️

North Sea Wind Farms

Massive offshore wind arrays like Gemini, appearing as white dots on the blue water.

🏰

Isle of Anglesey

The rugged northern coastline of Wales and the Menai Strait as you enter the Irish Sea.

🐚

Howth Head

The picturesque peninsula on the northern arm of Dublin Bay during the final turn.

The right side is best for coastal enthusiasts. In winter, the low sun can create heavy glare on this side during the westbound journey. Use a flight tracker to see if the plane approaches Dublin from the north, which would grant a stunning view of the Lambay Island coastline.
