JERDUB

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

Our Recommendation
7.8

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers superior views of the rugged Cornish coastline and the dramatic Wicklow Mountains upon the descent into Ireland, especially during sunset flights.

Left Side Highlights
7.8
🏝️

St. Ouen's Bay

Dramatic views of Jersey's western coastline and the massive Atlantic swell immediately after takeoff.

🌊

Cornish Peninsula

Aerial perspective of Land's End and the turquoise waters surrounding St. Ives and the northern cliffs of Cornwall.

⛰️

Wicklow Mountains

The rolling granite peaks and dark loughs of the Garden of Ireland visible during the descent into Dublin.

🏙️

Dublin City

A sweeping view of the city center, including the River Liffey and Phoenix Park, when landing on Runway 28.

For the most scenic experience, book an evening flight to catch the sunset over the Atlantic. If landing on Runway 28 (the most common path), the left side provides a direct view of the city skyline. Keep an eye out about 20 minutes after takeoff for the distinctive sharp point of the Cornish coast.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
🚤

Guernsey and Sark

Clear views of the neighboring Channel Islands dotting the English Channel shortly after departure.

🍃

Dartmoor National Park

The vast, wild moorlands of Devon appearing as a patch of deep green and brown to the east.

🌉

Bristol Channel

The wide estuary where the River Severn meets the sea, marking the border between England and Wales.

⚓

Dublin Bay

A beautiful view of the Poolbeg Chimneys, Howth Head, and the Irish Sea coastline during the final approach.

Morning flights are best for the right side to avoid the direct glare of the sun. This side is particularly good for spotting the smaller Channel Islands like Herm and Jethou right after takeoff. Watch for the 'Poolbeg Stacks'—Dublin's iconic red and white chimneys—as you cross the Irish coast.
